The Book of Love
Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel’s latest project is an album of covers featuring songs by everyone from Arcade Fire and Bon Iver to David Bowie and Paul Simon. It is a beautifully dramatic album that replaces pop and rock with symphonic subtlety. It is an album that owes as much to Steve Reich as any of the artists covered. And Gabriel’s whispering, resonant voice sits comfortably with the string arrangments. The caressing, dancing red blood cells on the cover capture the mood of this record well.
I like music. This is a blog about music that reminds me I'm human. There’s new stuff, my rants on old stuff, and some wallpaper designs for fun. If you are the owner of this music and object to it being posted here
