"I fear that Gabriel, at 75, has become a lost giant of popular music, a neglected colossus whose status has eroded with his unwillingness to stay in the frontline cut-and-thrust of pop culture. In the 1970s, he was the mercurial master leading Britain's most inventive progressive rock group, Genesis. In the 1980s, he was one of the architects of a rich sound drawing together sources from all over the musical world. After decades out of the spotlight, I wonder will i/o be afforded the attention it deserves? Because this ranks with the very best of Gabriel's work, which means it is very great indeed. Peter Gabriel is a genius. i/o is a masterpiece. That is all ye need know."
