I belong to a world that's destroying itself : Revenge

"Peacock brings us to what might be one of her finest moments. The supremely eerie and subliminal "Dreams" merges poem and sound in a cloud of festering emotion. Peacock sings of something lost on the banks of memory, of time stopping for just a fleeting moment for the vestiges of the self to emerge from the darkened depths. It is a mark of beauty that reminds us of how deeply we allow an artist to traverse the mysterious universe of our slumbering souls".

"Recorded live in various studios in 1968 and 1969 (written and arranged completely by Peacock), this is one of, if not the, very first record to feature a Moog Synthesizer modulating lead vocals. The rough recording aspect - understandable given technological limitations at the time - is actually a boon to this version; it is remarkably fresh, raw, energizing, and prophetic even now. This set marks the first showcase for Peacock's iconic free-form songwriting style - which has inspired three successive generations of musicians across several genres - and her trademark phrasing and delivery. As evidenced here, she pioneered a radical technique of commanding the synthesizer to serve her singing in perfect complement - she made the instrument actually sound passionate".

"She's renamed the album after its visionary eco-protesting slice of proto-rapping funk and removed the erroneous co-credit to jazz pianist (and second husband) Paul Bley - after all, she was the only writer, arranger and producer. Essentially, I Belong To A World... was the prototype for 1972's follow-up I'm The One; the latter's title track even made its debut here , a delirious slowburn blues with Peacock's still-startling exhortations. Tone poem The Cynic and the "acid cabaret" hinterland of Joy and Daddy's Boat (A Lullaby) showed Peacock was out on her own, preceding even Tim Buckley's similarly avant-voyaging Starsailor".
