Recorded in 1984, and originally released in March 1985, 'Birdy' marks the first occasion that Peter worked with French-Canadian producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Lanois who went on to co-produce both Peter's 'So' and 'US' albums. The soundtrack to the Alan Parker movie of the same name - the tale of a Vietnam vet who harbours Icarus-like ambitions to fly - it finds Peter flexing his creative muscles free of any commercial pressures and has a number of tracks build out of elements of existing tracks from Peter's third and fourth solo albums.
