Leaves From the Tree is probably the best name for a Peter Gabriel tribute album, since Shaking the Tree was already used by Gabriel himself. But unlike most of Vitamin's tribute collections, which usually feature the work of studio musicians or unknowns, Leaves From the Tree includes a few name-brand electronic artists. Mutantrumpter Ben Neill collaborates with vocalist Andrew Montgomery for an update of "Shock the Monkey"; it works, but only because it stays faithful to the innovation displayed in Gabriel's 1982 original. Dave Warrin reimagines "Don't Give Up" as steamy trip-hop, on which Jody Watley resurfaces for lead vocal duties. David Lynch chanteuse Julee Cruise lends her breathy vocal style to Supa DJ Dmitry's remix of "Only Us," from 1992's Us. This sound fails when applied to the spooky, somber "Mercy Street" -- the song was never meant to have a groovy beat, and suffers with one here. "Games Without Frontiers" is rendered as karaoke schlock by Los Angeles' Supreme Beings of Leisure affiliate Bonglab, but Soma Sonic somehow figures out a way to transform the bump-and-grind electro of 1978's "Exposure" (a gem from Gabriel's second solo effort) into the Pet Shop Boys. While the inclusion of tracks from 1989's Passion (aka, the soundtrack to Last Temptation of Christ) shows depth, a version of "In Your Eyes" is conspicuously absent. ~ Johnny Loftus

Leaves From The Tree: A Tribute To The Music Of Peter Gabriel CD music
$13.89 Suvarna is an English singer and violinist whose third album is a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and producer Martin Phillipps (known for his previous work with such artists as Was (Not Was), Soul II Soul, and Khalèd). With help from percussionist and keyboardist Ravi and tabla player Ty Burhoe, Suvarna and Phillipps have created a stunningly beautiful album of contemplative devotional pop music, all of it original and using lyrics based on mantras and snippets of commentary from various Buddhist and Hindu texts. This is the kind of thing that could easily come across as cloying exoticism or mushy new age sophistry, but Suvarna's voice is so unaffected, the melodies so sweet, and the arrangements so nicely balanced between complexity and simplicity that the effect is instead one of perfectly realized East-West fusion; the results are equally well suited to meditation or long car trips. The title track and "What You Are to Me" (on which Suvarna sounds uncannily like Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser) are the most gently powerful songs here; "Deniz" and "Nanak's Song," while also lovely, are maybe just a bit too long to sustain their ideas. Highly recommended overall. ~ Rick Anderson
