Description
If Genesis, according to British comedian and fan, Al Murray "were the progressive rock band who progressed", then Peter Gabriel, once solo, would be the one who progressed the most. Who would have thought listening to early Genesis would eventually take the listener to Senegal, Armenia, South Africa and beyond via the artistic endeavors of their former vocalist? This is a journey through Peter Gabriel's solo albums, his live recordings and soundtrack compositions. During his forty-year plus solo career, Gabriel has become a worldwide pop star with his early, self-titled albums and his seminal 1986 record 'So'. He’s had hit singles throughout his career, including "Big Time" and the poignant "In Your Eyes". He also helped pioneer video creativity with the song "Sledgehammer". In doing so, he’s reached beyond his progressive rock background to achieve a level of respect that other musicians from that genre could only dream about. You may have heard many of these songs before, but there's always something new to be found by digging in the dirt. This is the prefect guide to his music for new listeners and long term fans alike. Graeme Scarfe is a freelance writer. He was born in the 1960's, educated in the comprehensive system in the 1970's & 1980's and graduated from Bournemouth University in the 1990's. He’s worked as a music journalist, sound recordist, stand-up comedian and Film & Media lecturer. He wrote the original screenplay for the 1999 British Horror film "Lighthouse" and the comedy novels "Arable Farm" and "Seagulls on Speed". Grame is married with two children and lives in Sussex.
