"[What Lies Ahead] gonna be on the next record..." 👀

Wow, we're finally here...

I liked this song simply from the first time I heard it on the bootlegs on YouTube, it was so nice to finally hear the two studio versions. This time my favorite is the Bright-Side Mix.

I'm going to miss these monthly i/o releases (I really want him to continue releasing new and old unreleased material in future full moons.) Despite all the initial stress due to the lack of information, it was interesting to have something new every month, to see the reactions from each one... THAT'S IT. WE DID IT.

RELEASE DATE: 2023.11.27 (Both Mixes) - Available at midnight localtime.

Quote from THOM

carlosgabrx I appreciate a lot that you keep us informed with the song details and the credits.

But as I just found out the credits are incomplete and also the entrys are re-arranged. - So I was wondering where you got it from?

They are from TIDAL, it is the only streaming service that allows artists to post all credits for a song for viewing. They may vary a little because the roles that TIDAL has may be a little different from the way Peter publishes it later on Bandcamp and on his website. In the case of the painting, Megan Rooney likely changed the name of the piece after Peter chose it, as the piece was previously known as "Dividing the light (rumblings)".

I think this is my favorite on the album so far.

It is more likely that in the following months he'll reveal the cover art, tracklist and pre-order announcement for a release by Christmas.

I doubt very much that he will release the album before finishing the whole cycle of 12 (or 13) full moons. It would be totally meaningless unless the versions on the album are different from the "Bright-Side" and "Dark-Side" mixes, but I believe that won't be the case either.

Quote from rjhatcher

Great news — I’ve been waiting for this one. May I ask how you know this so early? Is the Full Moon video up already, as I can’t see it…? 🙃

It's already July 3rd in some places in the world, so the song has already started to be made available in those places. Every release ends up being made available first in New Zealand, that's why we end up knowing or songs end up "leaking" a day before, but in fact it's not a leak, it's already available out there, and once it's on the internet, it can belong to anyone.

Quote from panopticom

The artist for Olive Tree is Bathelemy Toguo, the piece is called "Chroniques Avec La Nature". The piece for This Is Home is called "La Vie En Rose".

Thanks, I was trying to find the one for Olive Tree, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The one for "This is Home" I suspected it was "La vie en rose", but I wasn't sure, the picture I saw from the tour programme looked like the piece was red and not pink.

Apparently the tour programme book shows the artists and their respective pieces for all the new songs played on the tour, except "What Lies Ahead".

So we have...

• ALBUM ARTWORK: Nadav Kander

1. Panopticom - "Red Gravity" by David Spriggs
2. The Court - "Lifting the Curse" by Tim Shaw
3. Playing for Time - "Mes voeux (avec nos cheveux)" by Annette Messager (apparently, the piece originally chosen for the song, as the May issue of Uncut Magazine suggests, was: "L'homme qui marche à l'envers du temps" by Annette Messager)
4. i/o - "Colour experiment no. 114" by Olafur Eliasson
5. Four Kinds of Horses - "Snap" by Cordelia Parker
6. Road to Joy - "Middle Finger in Pink" by Ai Weiwei
7. So Much - "Somewhere over Mercia" by Henry Hudson
8. Olive Tree - "Chroniques Avec La Nature" by Barthélémy Toguo
9. Love Can Heal - "A small painting of what I think love is" - Antony Micallef
10. This is Home - "Conexión de catedral II" by David Moreno (last minute change, the piece originally chosen for the song was "La vie en rose" by David Moreno)
11. And Still - "And Still (Time)" (originally known as "Dividing the Light (Rumblings)") by Megan Rooney
12. Live and Let Live - "Soundsuit #1" by Nick Cave

Quote from BillysNumber

Interesting to see that Love Can Heal isn't on that possible tracklist above. I remember Peter specifically saying himself in his Empire magazine interview that Love Can Heal would be on the album.

I didn't include "Love Can Heal" and "What Lies Ahead" on that list just because they were registered a long time ago.

There will be a total of 13 full moons in 2023. Which makes me wonder when this album will actually be released (whether it's an album or just singles), if there will be more songs released after 2023, if any will be left outside. Because everything indicates that we will have more than 13 new songs.

P.S.: I really wanted "Baby Man" to be in it too.

Quote from Christian

I can add some details to the discussion. The german copyright organisation is the GEMA and all tracks published will have to be registered there.

Road To Joy was recently added, as was And Still, This Is Home, Olive Tree and Live And Let Live and ... So Much!

There is one unknown track, Put The Bucket Down.

Then, also "Show Yourself" was added and we first thought it's Why Don't You Show Yourself, but that was registered a decade ago already. So either a completely different version(?) or something different? We will find out ...

An important detail is that apparently all new songs were registered at the same time (you can tell by the numerical sequence in the table below), except "Road To Joy", which was registered together with "Four Kinds of Horses", which reinforces the theory that this is the song for the next Full Moon.

The fact that these songs were registered together recently also suggests that Peter has finally decided on all the songs that will make the album, or even that the album is on its way to the press plant.
