A specially curated compilation of timeless Mike Peters' compositions exploring the subject of Love and spanning over 30 years of artistic freedom and creativity following Mike's departure from the original Alarm line-up.

 Never before has there been a compilation of this type. All tracks are exclusively concentrated on the 34 year period since leaving the original Alarm line-up in 1991, during which time Mike's prolific solo career blossomed throughout the 1990's  before eventually deciding to resurrect The Alarm name and return it to public consciousness with a bang at the turn of the century.

 This compilation album has been a long time coming and shines a light on the range and diversity of Mike's subsequent output. It’s a contemporary masterpiece. A selection of beautifully crafted, melodic songs filled with the emotion, passion, optimism and angst that we have come to expect from Mike Peters.
