I/O is the title of a yet-to-be-released album by Peter Gabriel. It will be the follow-up to his latest studio album, the 2002 "Up". There is no release date yet set, but Gabriel's statement that there would be a solo "product" being released each year should give hint that it could be possibly released in, at the earliest, 2008. This conclusion came about because of a rumoured POV live concert DVD to be released in 2006 (as suggested from the short preview on the 2005 concert DVD ""; however, as of June 2008, POV is still not released at this time.

Work History

The history of "I/O" is closely connected to that of making the album "Up", which notoriously took Gabriel almost 10 years to complete, and some of the songs being first recorded during the "Us" recording sessions. After the Secret World Live World Tour Gabriel spent much of the 1990s writing new material, and in interviews circa 2002 he said that four albums would come out of this period of writinghttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1457908/20021002/gabriel_peter.jhtml?headlines=true — "Peter Gabriel's "Up" Is A Downer, But In a Good Way", by Jon Wiederhorn, 10 March 2002. "MTV.com."] http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1457838/09272002/gabriel_peter.jhtml — "Peter Gabriel: Had a Nice Decade" by Franklin Cumberbatch, 27 September 2002. "VH1.com"] (he reportedly wrote and prepared over 130 songs during this time, of which ten found their way onto "Up").http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/2295637.stm — "Up and away with Peter Gabriel", 3 October 2002. "BBC News."] These four albums are most likely his millennium project "OVO", the Rabbit-Proof Fence soundtrack "", "Up", and finally "I/O" (short for Input/Output).

Originally the album was set to be released in 2004http://www.solsburyhill.org/chappell.html — "Richard Chappell: Recording Peter Gabriel's Up" by Paul Tingen.] , or 18 months apart from "Up", yet extensive touring (the "Growing Up Live" and "Still Growing Up Live" tours in 2003 and 2004) pushed the release far back.

According to a Rolling Stone magazine article, Gabriel has 150 songs in various stages, which he has been working on with engineer Richard Chappel and percussionist Ged Lynch. http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/petergabriel/articles/story/8750346/peter_gabriel_plugs_in — "Peter Gabriel Plugs In" by Andy Greene, 3 November 2005. "The Rolling Stone".] He has also talked about the possibility of completing the songs, arranging them for a band, touring first and only then recording and releasing them. He has also said of a tour possibility: "I would like to try maybe just me and a percussionist, or a percussionist and bass. It's good sometimes to let go of your crutches."
