not a great sign that the music he's been working on for 20 years sounds so by-numbers
― ufo, Friday, 6 January 2023 11:31 (one year ago) link
maybe there is a different mix? this is pretty boring, especially given the players.

Also reminds me slightly of "It's Raining Men"

I quite liked his contribution to last year's Leonard Cohen tribute on Blue Note, even if his LC impression is a bit over the top.

Makes me wish he played with different musicians more often.

New one's goofy but I like the unabashed progginess of the concept. Peter Gabriel in 2023 earnestly bellowing PAN-OP-TI-COM is like Neil Peart never died.

ha, you are correct...and I find them unbelivably boring and dull. his voice saves this for me but only just. weird choice for a single.

Is this album going to have an equivalent of "The Barry Williams Show", where he takes on a hot-button topic from a previous decade?
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 6 January 2023 16:39 (one year ago) link
not to be all "well actually," but everybody's running around saying that this is the first self-composed shit he's put out since Up, but he put out singles as such here and there, most recently two songs in 2016, one concerning Muhammad Ali, "I"m Amazing," that I remember thinking was good when I heard it…
― veronica moser, Friday, 6 January 2023 16:41 (one year ago) link
Got a horrible feeling some of those singles will reappear on the album
― PaulTMA, Friday, 6 January 2023 16:51 (one year ago) link
I don't think they will, he already put them out on that flotsam and jetsam compilation.
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Friday, 6 January 2023 17:24 (one year ago) link
Gabriel isn’t one to put one-off songs into studio LP’s proper.
I really like this, although the mixing is odd

PG says in the Full Moon Club update that "we're finally starting out with a new record of new songs and slightly used... items." :/ That might include a couple of songs that were premiered on the So Back to Front tour (which I can't say as I remember).
Based on what he says in the video it sounds like they're releasing a song every month in the running order of the album. This invites the suspicion that he's still tinkering with it.

Hi there,If there’s anyone out there who actually wants to do a deep dive into the music from i/o and how it was created we’re resurrecting the Full Moon Club here as a membership club with a subscription for the price of a cup of coffee every month.We’ll put some other versions of every song in here, whether it’s another mix, maybe a demo, or perhaps more than one demo just showing how the thing got created or what some of the ideas that influenced the lyrics might be.This will be for the hardcore, we’ll be doing these full moon releases so just look up at the sky and check out when the moon’s getting bigger and you'll know there's something new coming your way. Along with the full moon club we’re going to try and learn, so we’d appreciate some feedback as to what might be of interest for you… we may put in extra tracks or some other live stuff, I don’t know... tell us what you’re interested in and we’ll see if we can rustle it together.A few of you may well have bought Panopticom, so there are few extras already available here that will hopefully make up for that including an extended Full Moon Club video where we start to deep dive into the making of Panopticom.I hope a few of you stick with me for the ride.Peter.

When Ralph Gabriel was not delivering cables he was a technician in research and development for the Rediffusion Company in Hastings, where he designed the first fiber-optic cable-TV system. Called Dial-a-Program, a prototype was installed for experimental purposes in the medical department of Case Western Reserve in Ohio.
“Unfortunately, the patent only lasted for fifteen years,” says Gabriel, “and the potential of cable TV was hardly recognized at the time. A lot of brilliant study was not made use of or capitalized on—extremely frustrating for my father.”

he hasn't said which of the mixes will make he album. the dark mixes are by Tchad Blake and the Bright ones by someone else. I prefer the dark mix of the first song by some measure.
