Your comment below which I have highlighted in RED. Are you for real??  Have you looked at the credits for any MO songs?  Do you own any albums?

 

PG is mentioned on the credits for plenty of songs.

 

5 out of 9 songs on Head Injuries for starters.  He completely re wrote the lyrics for Back on the Borderline.  And so it continued during the band’s career.  I will not list them all but suffice to say he was a contributor……

I wonder why he would attempt a solo record?  Peter is the reason Midnight Oil is not together performing.  I am hopeful this is actually a Midnight Oil record with the entire band?   I did not think Peter was a contributor to the song writing.  I do not remember ever seeing him listed on the credits for any songs?

I hate to say this out loud, but a solo album does not interest me much. Unless he is able to surround himself with spectacular supporting musicians or cool guest appearances, I cannot imagine great results.  Hopefully I will be proven wrong.
