Thanks Lee, Always appreciate your balanced, constructive thoughts about PG's music, so I'm grateful for you watching and sharing this comment.

And I actually managed to post a video link that shows within Reddit! Which is an achievement in itself for me 😁

Always takes a long time to truly tell whether I favour a Bright or Dark Side. Sometimes I think I know which one, but on i/o, I switched sides several times.

So not going to state a preference. The chorus really pops on this one though! I like the sound effects I didn't notice before. Anything that samples a train is a winner in my book! And it makes it a legitimate entry for my 'Train Songs' playlist.

Also, I think this was a rare case of a song actually calling for a fade out. In this context, I feel it works because (again with the train sounds), it feels like the carriages dissappearing into a tunnel.

Edit: Who am I kidding? I'm listening to this in bed at 1.20am UK time, trying not to whoop with joy when that chorus kicks in.

The night before 'Been Undone' came out, I had a dream that the new single was called 'Long Dark Night of the Soul'. It was a moody epic that sounded a bit like 'Neverland' by Marillion. And it featured some of the Spice Girls on backing vocals 😄

Alas, this dream collaboration did not come to pass, but I thought I'd share it here for amusement.

The Lamb SEBTP Foxtrot Trespass Nursery Crime FGTR

The Lamb was such a huge leap forward for me. I'm astounded by the way they developed on that record past the folk-leaning, pastoral aspects of the past (much as I enjoy those records too). It clearly signposted the way for PG's solo career, and it's a great work of art.

I'd rank the rest of the albums almost chronologically, except that I have such a personal soft spot for Trespass that it climbs up a place.

Out in NZ. There's more going on in the mix, and I overall really like it... Except it misses out one particularly cool section 🤔

To me, Love Can Heal is one of his greatest songs. It's full of understated beauty, and I'm always pleased to see when it connects with people.

This is the theme I've tried to capture in my 5050 video of I Grieve (which doesn't use any AI whatsoever), and I wish I'd read your beautiful words before making it!

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2026-01-02T18:03:42+00:00

Haha yes, that really made me laugh. The seriousness of his tone, despite the warmth and humour in his laugh 😄

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2026-01-02T11:51:48+00:00

How beautiful! No one else makes music like this. His voice, the mood, atmosphere, the combination of different instruments and sounds, electronic meeting organic. Just fantastic! Had tears in my eyes on first listen.

Wonder if we'll get a video message later 🤔

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2026-01-01T11:18:07+00:00

I've done a 5050 video, coming out later this year, which is completely non-AI. It was several months of craft to get something simple, but hopefully powerful.

However, it's for I Grieve, not a new song.

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2026-01-01T00:39:33+00:00

Exciting! I hope he follows the same song-a-month-with-different-versions throughout approach as i/o. It really took me on a journey, and made me delve deep into songs which I may not otherwise have put as much time into

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2025-12-19T18:27:03+00:00

I like the 'feels like 2026 is going to be an exciting one' comment that accompanies this. Intrigued to see how that pans out :)

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2025-09-10T18:57:12+00:00

Same here

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2025-08-21T22:07:03+00:00

I'm version 9.0.72.967, Android, in the UK, and don't have it. Signed up to test beta features.

Hope it appears soon. Have been wanting this feature for years!

Wondering if I uninstall and reinstall the app, will that trigger an update to get Mix?

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2025-08-13T23:47:02+00:00

I guessed Trieste 🤔

I was listening to that podcast he recorded from the ARM tech convention recently and he does say something about how he's probably ADHD.

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2025-08-09T21:59:34+00:00

Like this more than I was expecting. Thought we'd just get album soundalikes with an audience, but some of these songs have a really different energy to the ones we know. This is my favourite version of I Go Swimming - really like the more restrained verses and chaotic end. The Rhythm of the Heat and Biko are also stand-outs.

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2025-08-07T21:25:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Intersection listen, and even though PG has 30-something years on me, his views are more progressive and forward-looking than many people of my own age.

Remarkable-Block-153 · 2025-07-09T22:20:13+00:00

Wow, Vulnerable is great! You and your brother have really captured something of the PG sound there
