The last time Peacock surfaced with an offering was in 2006 when she issued a wonderful EP on her own label called, '31:31.'

contradictory versions as a form of incomplete memory.
The first performance by Forced Entertainment, Jessica established
many of the motifs and strategies that would be present in the work for
the next five years — use of taped voice rather than live speech, use of
soundtrack, choreography of actions drawn from narrative and an
approach to storytelling based on the collision and contradiction of
fragments rather than on linear unfolding of events.
John Avery's soundtrack of Jessica in the Room of Lights has been re-released by the aptly named Belgian label Forced Nostalgia.
