Product Description
CD Description
After the worldwide success of 1986's SO, Peter Gabriel produced collections of movie soundtrack music, busied himself with the Amnesty International tour and started his own label. Released in 1992, US was long-awaited to say the least. It was not the commercial smash that SO was; instead it was Gabriel's most personal and introspective work. In the years after SO, Gabriel's marriage broke up and he went into analysis, which he addresses on "Digging in the Dirt". In the past, Gabriel wrote songs in the guise of various characters and invoked epic themes, but here even with exotic rhythms andeclectic influences, Gabriel was grounded in the real world.
While lyrically and thematically distinct from SO, parts of US recall its predecessor. "Steam" is strongly reminiscent of "Sledgehammer", while "Love to Be Loved" has a hypnotic pulse reminiscent of SO's seductive beds of rhythm. "KissThat Frog", with its hip-wiggling beat, is the record's lightest moment. Elsewhere, Gabriel combines gorgeous melodies,poignant vocals and the lush, atmospheric production of Daniel Lanois, especially on the soaring "Come Talk to Me" (sung with Sinead O'Connor), "Blood of Eden" and "Secret World".
