Peter Gabriel - US

Replace Steam with Quiet Steam, and yes, drop Kiss That Frog entirely

1. “digging in the dirt” is grebt but these results are unexpected
2. okay who voted for “kiss that frog” lol
3. glad to see “blood of eden” getting some love. the until the end of the world version is great too
4. I ended up voting for “come talk to me” on the strength of those drums but also for the triumphant return of the “Biko” bagpipe patch. first 50 seconds of that track are about as strong as an album opener gets

06. Washing of the Water 3:52 0

Too few!

0 votes for my favourite Love to Be Loved :(

Against all odds, afaict only the third direct intersection between Gabriel and Eno (the others being a couple of tracks on "Lamb" and a couple of tracks on Fripp's "Exposure").

yes quite strange they never worked together more.

'love to be loved' did in fact deserve a vote

just realized scrolling up that Josh and I had the same back and forth about Eno and Gabriel, fuck we are all getting old and repeating ourselves now

lol

I wonder if it's because Gabriel is very painstaking about pursuing every option in his recordings, and Eno is supposedly more spontaneous? I suspect Gabriel wouldn't like having a performance or track erased just to clear the air and reduce the options in the mix.

I wouldn't have voted for "Fourteen Black Paintings" but it's a good example of his technique of "wander about for a few minutes to provide context for an epiphanic climax".

“Steam” is to “Sledgehammer” as “Human Touch” is to “Brilliant Disguise”, but I still love all 4 songs. The video is great; Stephen R. Johnson was a real talent

xpost If I had to guess I would say they likely have worked together more, but his contributions never made it on to a record. Kind of like how Bryan Ferry takes forever to record his records with dozens of different musicians, and the final product is a piecemeal combination of various takes and contributors.

A great Grammy moment

― Josh in Chicago,

and he has also worked with Eno intermittently

lol the vocal backing track is audible

I think the only thing that's musically 'live' is his lead.

Having toured with Robert Fripp, Tony Levin is blasé about this level of onstage spectacle.
