An aural postcard of Gabriel's 1993-1994 "Us World Tour," SECRET WORLD LIVE is demonstrative of this studio perfectionist's ability to produce singular, textured works in any setting. He has always surrounded himself with first-class players who shared his vision of incorporating world music into the Western pop vocabulary (guitarist David Rhodes, bassist Tony Levin and drummer Manu Katche have been with Gabriel the better part of ten years). To expand the music's breadth, for the "Us" tour he added noted jazz violinist Shankar and vocalist Paula Cole to the band and restructured the songs to reflect the more celebratory aspects of live performances. This mix provides SECRET WORLD LIVE with its world-beat meets new age jazz meets English art-soul sound.

Created in the wake of U2's extravagant "Zoo TV," the "Us" shows were also multi-media blow outs, thematically connected to Gabriel's then-current explorations of psychotherapy. In fact, the second half of the album incorporates previous hits--the sexually charged "Sledgehammer," the elegiac "Don't Give Up" (with Cole playing Kate Bush's part), and the anthemic "In Your Eyes"--into a song-cycle that explores the consequences of the inner fears of youth and love's ability to insulate one from that pain. It all makes Gabriel's SECRET WORLD LIVE add up to a musical stew that is equal parts William Gibson, Carl Jung and Fela Kuti.

Recorded live at the Palasport Nuovo, Modena, Italy on November 16-17, 1993.

Personnel: Peter Gabriel, Paula Cole (vocals); David Rhodes (vocals, guitar); Shankar (vocals, violin); Jean Claude Naimro (vocals, keyboards); Tony Levin (vocals, bass); Levon Minassian (doudouk); Manu Katche (drums), Papa Wemba, Reddy Mala Amissi, Styno Mubi Matadi (background vocals).

Rolling Stone (10/20/94, pp.142-146) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this album maintains a powerful continuity that loses neither pace nor momentum; more than studio originals, these versions elaborate on the dramatic potential inherent in them..."

5 stars Awesome Performance!
This CD presents the music of Peter Gabriel in a dimension that can only be explained by experiencing it! All of the songs are done dramatically by great musicians with perfect precision and end climactically with my two of my favorite pieces. . ."Don't Give up" and "In Your Eyes." I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is familiar with the work of Peter Gabriel.

3 stars Why didn't Pete do the Genesis covers?
I am baffled as to why Peter Gabriel didn't perform, Back In NYC, and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway like he used to as an encore in his earlier concerts!

5 stars Peter The Great !!
Exellent live cd from the majesty of prog rock! These versions of the songs are far better than those made in sterile studios; just listen to his voice and the band, how does he do that?? This is one of my must-have-to-stay-alive-cd:s, definitely!

Alice In Chains Black Gives Way To Blue CD  (2009) Limited Edition; Digipak

Secret World Live
CD $10.49  4.5 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
When Layne Staley died from a drug overdose in 2002, it had already been several years since most Alice in Chains fans stopped hoping for a new album. The singer had become a recluse since the late-`90s, and there was little indication that AIC would ever again produce much in the way of new music. As a result, when the remaining members reunited to release BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE in 2009, expectations were low. To the delight of all however, the album proved to be perhaps the Seattle combo's most energetic and consistent effort since its masterpiece DIRT. Perhaps the most surprising element of the new record was how much it sounded exactly like Alice in Chains. While new singer William DuVall was not an exact ...

Rosanne Cash List CD  (2009)

Secret World Live
CD $15.65  5 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's treasures, as well. It's an affirming story, but that's all it would be if Cash didn't sing her heart out here. The opener, a version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Miss the Mississippi and You," is full ...

R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's Olympia in the summer of 2007 "This is not a show," murmurs Michael Stipe at the start of LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA and it's not quite misdirection. R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's Olympia in the summer of 2007 functioned as working rehearsals for their fourteenth album ACCELERATE, with the band testing out each of the songs, exploring arrangements, finding breaking points, and pairing them with older songs that informed their back-to-basics move. As rehearsal, it paid off splendidly -- road-testing the material made it stronger, ...

Secret World Live
CD $13.95  Audio Samples
"If I had a voice like Mark Erelli, I could go places." -Dave AlvinIt's hard to imagine better testimony to what more and more music lovers are discovering every day: Mark Erelli has rapidly become a potent and powerful new voice in American music.With songs that sounded "fresh yet oddly familiar, like something rediscovered on the old 78s found in your grandparents' cellar" (Billboard), Mark was hailed as "one of the most versatile, tuneful new singer-songwriters" (Boston Herald). Others put his debut on their top-10 of the year lists, where it rubbed shoulders with albums by Tom Waits, Macy Gray, and Richard Thompson.Erelli's success and devotion to his craft in his down-time pays off in spades on his sophomore release, Compass & Companion. From the majestic opeing strains of "Ghost" to the wistful comclusion of "Almost Home," Compass and Companion is that rare bird of an album that ...
