A rollercoaster of musical styles, this CD exemplifies Peter Gabriel's range of talents. He blends his music beautifully with the lyrics, notably in 'Moribund' and 'Here comes the Flood'. If you liked the ballad version of 'Flood' on Shaking the Tree, check out the stormy original here. 'Solsbury Hill' is one of his best songs, and its optimistic mood carries through to the playfulness of 'Modern Love' and 'Excuse Me'. The remaining tracks may sound a little epic but they were in tune with, if not ahead of, their era. This is an excellent starting point for those who want to explore Peter Gabriel's musical power.
