exactly 1 year ago on the 12th of February the album "Scratch My Back" was released (first in Germany, then on the 15th in UK i think and later in the USA beginning of March).
thanks to all who were involved into this project.
this album is still a pleasure

Nice one Cimber - where did the year go? Great memories of first hearing 'Listening Wind' on a French radio station. Increasingly with SMB I get the sense of a long story with some mysterious gaps in it. . . but there's always something new I'm hearing. PG's musical personality - evolving, innovative and always fascinating.

It has been a year and a few months since I became a member here and how fast the year went. Experiencing my first PG concert, that of the SMB live was an amazing moment in my time line that I shall never forget. Today I shall listen with my headphones on and emotions open to SMB once again in honor of the anniversary of it and Peters Birthday. Well done Peter, well done.
The circle has come round in full and I am thankful that I was able to be part of it.

Today I started my day with Scratch my Back at the breakfast table and everything was good.
Deep emotions, wonderful music and voice, I feel now so near to.

how fast this 1 year has gone!
I remember waiting impatiantly for the podcasts Peter uploaded speaking about the tracks on smb. Those tantalising pieces of the songs still didnt prepare me for the pure brilliance and epicness of the album as a whole. I also remember listening to My Body Is a Cage on a french radio station. Just brilliant!
Oh how i love this album! A very big album for me in this stage of my life. And it was released on the 15th on my birthday which makes it all the more personal and special for me :-]

Gosh a year goes by so quickly, and the new scratch album is only a month or 2 away.
Maybe there is still hope of a new PG album with new material in the near future? :-]

You're saying that Scratch.has a first Birthday, but for me it's a New Baby. I've got It as a present for my Name Day 3 weeks ago. Now I start my exciting journey to a "New World Of PG", which charms me deeply every day and especially - evenings.Some time ago I discovered the Arcade Fire the 3 albums and of course "My Body Is A Cage". And now - Master Peter shows his choice and what He can do with this magic song.another (maybe) greater song. Thanks a lot Peter! I'll take care of The New Baby - SMB!

Wow, a whole year passed! And in a few days there's will be a year since I first saw Peter live. Rhat was a nice year indeed! I hope this one will be as fascinating as this one-at least music-wise!

Wow, in May it will be a year since my 1st PG concert. Fun times in Los Angeles!
Cheers to another wonderful year filled with Peters music and to my fellow Lunatic Sisters and Brothers I have met as it has been a bit over a year since I became a member here!
