Re: Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back

I bought this cd today, Pete's first release in 8 years. All cover songs (i.e. Bowie, Paul Simon, Radiohead, Neil Young), but morphed into Peter Gabriel sounds. I am so glad I did, wow, this is fantastic. No drums, no guitars- but strings, orchestra, piano under Peter's soulfull voice. The music is incredibly rich sounding, for those of you like me who like acoustic, bare-boned stripped down to the core sounds, check this out if you have a chance, he sounds better than he ever has (if that is even possible). The arrangements too on this are fantastic, very string heavy. For fellow musicians here, you will appreciate and love this album. For those who loved and thought the Kronos Quartet brought so much beauty on BTCS as I did, you will definately love this cd

    Saw him last night at Summerfest, him and the orchestra were great, and was awesome to have members of the Milwaukee Symphony perform with him. Makes me excited for the New Blood album.

    That show was amazing! I was there last night too, too bad the music on the side stage kept coming over the top of the lawn, that was pretty annoying. Otherwise, I was blown away by the performance.

    So "New Blood" is out today. Anyone else thinking of picking this album up.

    I'm a sucker for reinterpreting your own work. That's probably why I have 50 versions of Seek Up in my itunes...

    I'm not a big fan of this orchestral kick he's been on, but I'll give it a listen. I'd just love to see him get back to making new music; he's done so much more interesting stuff. Even the lesser-known and less successful albums he's put out in the past 10 years (besides a couple of movie scores, there was his millennium project, called Ovo, and another one called Big Blue Ball) were more interesting than Scratch My Back was. That put me to sleep. Peter recorded more than 100 new songs in the 10-year process of making UP. There's a few albums to be found in there, I think.

    Yeah, I'd like to see PG release more original work as well.

    I saw him over the summer and was blown away by the live show. It was really cool to see the different arrangements he did for some of his songs. It's worth a listen imo.

    I've listened to New Blood. I think it's cool that he gave PG3 some representation on it, but I would have gladly traded Intruder or Wallflower for Signal To Noise, but I guess we'll get that on the New Blood London DVD. I'd say the highlights of the album are San Jacinto, Red Rain, and Digging in the Dirt, which works better than I expected it to.

    Scratch My Balls. I hated that record.

    But I love Peter Gabriel, so I'm willing to give New Blood a shot, even though I'm pretty sure I'll hate it, too.

    About to put this on now. I like the tracklisting pretty well, so I'm hoping it comes out well, too.

    Re: Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back

    Just finished the album, and it's miles better than Scratch My Back was. That album was so subdued that it barely had a pulse; this one has some life to it. As for the album itself, it's fine, I guess. The orchestral arrangements mostly do the songs justice (although the strings playing David Rhodes' guitar riff on "In Your Eyes" sounded ridiculous to me for some reason, sort of like a high school band covering pop songs), and Peter's singing as well as ever. Was not a fan of his duet partner on "Don't Give Up", and his daughter Melanie, who does most of the female backing vocals, is not even in the same ballpark vocally as others who have held that role (Sinead O'Connor, Kate Bush, Paula Cole).

    The biggest strength is obviously the songs, which were a good selection, especially because the choices were not all obvious ones. Melt and Scratch are both represented, and neither is known for its individual songs. Thing is, the songs were already good, and while the orchestra doesn't do a disservice to them, it doesn't really enhance them much, either (although "San Jacinto" and "Red Rain" are both particularly strong), since the originals were so rich in their arrangements and instrumentation, which is always going to be more interesting to me than a standard orchestra. As such, the album is enjoyable, but wholly unnecessary.

    3/5 stars

    I was reading up on this on wikipedia and noticed another album in Peter's chronology after this one, which I'd all but forgotten about, mostly because it was announced not long after UP. Bring on I/O (Input/Output) soon, please. New material is needed, and this one's been sitting on the shelf for seven years now.

    That was my big problem to it. Every song was boring in the same way.

    It looks like there's more hope for New Blood, which I'm about to spin. This sums up my thoughts going in: http://www.motivationalz.com/picture...ical_hippo.jpg

    I don't think you'll be disappointed. I gave the album 3 stars, but I did like it for what it was. The songs are inherently great, and this was just a new spin on them that works quite a lot of the time. The drawbacks were as I said: the female vocals were not quite up to snuff, one or two arrangements sounded kind of off, and it didn't need to be done. Again, bring on I/O!!! I was a big fan of UP, just because of how challenging it was, especially since it came on the heels of SO and US, which were more pop-oriented (that being said, "Darkness", from that album, was one of the weaker tracks on New Blood; I'd have gone with "Signal to Noise", myself, although it's hard to replace Ali Khan on the vocals at the end of it, and he's dead now, so...).

    I was hit and miss on Up. Some of it felt a little too indulgent (like The Barry Williams Show), but I liked other aspects of it. I think the mix of Growing Up that is on the hits collection shows what a good song it is.

    New Blood is miles better than Scratch My Back, but not something I'm likely to revisit too many times. A neat experiment, I suppose, but an unnecessary one. I think Red Rain works really well. I definitely felt like Don't Give Up and In Your Eyes were lacking.

    "Barry Williams Show" sounded like someone at Geffen Records was pleading with Peter to record something that sounded halfway like a single from SO or US that they could release (which they did--the only one on the album), rather than something that he would have otherwise included. "Growing Up"--I've never actually listened to HIT, so I haven't heard the alternate mix--but I liked the one on the album plenty. As far as New Blood goes, you and I are on the exact same page.

    From New Blood:

    In Your Eyes- time signatures, off, weird, nice change of arrangements, the more I listen, the more I love the offness of it

    Digging In The Dirt- nice, but like the Us version better

    I know everyone hates it, but I kind of like Barry Williams. The chorus is pretty catchy. I don't think it's a masterpiece or anything.

    Don't Give Up and Mercy Street - those are masterpieces, however.

    Well, yeah. You pretty much hate America and freedom if you don't like those two songs.

    ... Which is funny because Peter Gabriel isn't American. Hmm.

    There's a studio version of Signal to Noise on the iTunes edition, also one for Father, Son through PG's website.

    Really disappointed there's no version of Biko. That song was one of my favorites from when I saw him.

    The bonus cut of Blood of Eden is fantastic.

    Really love his voice on this CD. It's too bad he's so damn lazy about new music and so allergic to his time with Genesis. There were some lulz somewhere (iTunes?) in a comment thanking him for blowing off the RR HOF induction and any Genesis get together so that he could focus on working on this piece of shit.

    I don't think this is a piece of shit, but it will only get a few listens before I'm done with it for a long long time.

    Anybody watch his full moon club videos each month. That SOB is in Sardinia on holiday about every two months. I guess he's not driven to make new music anymore.

    Sting is the same way. No new proper studio album since 2003. But plenty of lute recordings, orchestral reinventions and seasonal songs.

    I'm not complaining, just wish they'd both put out some new material.

    At least Tom Waits is practically silent during his off-seasons. He tours occasionally, sure, but at least he's not putting out reinventions of one kind or another. Though he does have that E.P. w/ the Kronos Quartet that blows anything similar Sting or Peter Gabriel have done out of the water.

    Saw that the 2-disc Live Blood came out yesterday. I enjoyed New Blood a fair bit, so I'm curious. Anyone heard it?
