Finally assembled, i/o is a substantial late work from the ex-Genesis frontman, considering the human condition with genial positivity, wit and gloriously well-preserved vocals.
The album keeps circling around images of earth and water, gently obsessed by living, ageing, death, how things were before us and how they'll go on without us. Information, technology, religion and money recur as elemental forces that flood the earth or set it on fire, especially on typical Gabriel effortful funk tracks such as Panopticom and The Court.
