FALLING
With Falling, Blue Peter was looking for the next phase. Helmed by British producer Steve Nye (Japan/Roxy Music)
this album presents romantic songs backed with a new sonic depth. From the funk of "Unchained Heart" to the sparse declaration of independence that is "Burning Bridges" the band had matured after four short years. The Blade Runner inspired video for the perennial dance track - "Don't Walk Past" was the first Canadian indie label video to appear on MTV in the U.S.

VERTIGO
After the release of Falling in the Spring of 1983, Blue Peter toured relentlessly for a period of 18 months and during this time they continued to record demos. Included here are live, usually first take studio recordings representing song sketches which ultimately may have become the follow up record to Falling, tentatively titled Vertigo. The songs and playing are diverse and confident and they exhibit a branching out by all members of the band. This is reflected in the myriad influences contained within each song sketch. The material was sourced from a variety of media hence the sonic quality may vary slightly from track to track however the intent of the ideas are still evident to this day – nearly 25 years later.
