The contracts for the Iraqi oil are still in the unfair making,
so there is no way that the US is going to head home right now -

As time flies. After the recording session

Nick was in Australia for a month (great country, shame the didn't
sign the Kyoto agreement) and now Thomas is of to USA (another non

on the run", "One
Step" and "Show
me Love". Give them away as presents if you like.

your eye, One step and Show me love.
And we are only going to record two tracks. Tip
us your favorites.
04/08/04
You can listen to the latest draft of"Devil"
.It's a song about religion and other fanatics. The leap of faith
leaves no room for other beliefs. If others are right, are you then
wrong?
Everyone that heard us over the summer might have wondered why the
net version was different. It was an old version, that didn't work
in the band.
This is for all of you who insisted on hearing "Devil",
again - and again. Have fun.
03/08/04
You can have a preview of "Bullet
in your eye" from Audio.
It's a song about fear and propaganda -inspired by the rhetoric
from the Bush administration after 9/11. If the people are in a
state of fear, they are willing to go to war. The Bush administration
had planned two, and that was even before breakfast.
02/08/04

iO spent the autumn and winter of 2003 writing
new material for the upcoming concerts in the spring and summer
of 2004.
In 2003 Io released the demo cd "This
Day" that was recorded live at Danish National Broadcasting
Studio 3.
"This Day" was intended to
give the band and the audience an idea of how the music would sound
live.
Blame, This Day,
Wasteland and Hold Me were all
recorded shortly after iO got together.
In March iO will start rehearsing the new material, songs "Bullet
in your eyes","City
of Hope" and "Miss Liberty"

stages of the songs from ioone.net.
