The album »Birdy«, which was recorded in 1984 and originally released in March 1985, marked the first opportunity in which Peter worked with the French-Canadian producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Lanois, who later produced both Peters solo and his US album.

The soundtrack to the Alan-Parker film of the same name-The story of a Vietnam veteran, which has the ambition, how Ikarus flies-shows Peter how he lets his creative muscles play free of any commercial pressure, and contains a series of tracks that consist of Peters third and fourth solo album.
