(3 Customer Reviews)
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 ... Full Descriptionwho 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..."

| | Genesis Selling England By The Pound CD (1973)
Secret World Live CD music
$19.79 Peter Gabriel's startlingly unpretentious tale-spinning is at its best on "The Battle of Epping Forest." Tony Banks's elegant, sophisticated keyboard work is a vital element of nearly every tune, and the electric/acoustic guitar tapestry woven by Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford is the perfect icing on the cake. Somewhat anomalous but entirely welcome is the Gabriel-era band's catchiest, quirkiest song "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)," the tale of a somewhat daft gardener. Phil Collins's lead vocal on the gorgeous acoustic ballad "More Fool Me" paints the shape of things to come. If you only buy one Genesis album, make it this one.
If one had to pare the prog-rock story down to a handful ofessential albums, this would undoubtedly be one of them. SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND was the culmination of all that Genesis had been striving for since their late-'60s inception, the refinement of the vision that developed on TRESPASS, NURSERY CRYME, and FOXTROT (somewhere in the world, there's been a second-wave prog outfit named after every one of thesealbums). The fusion of a complex classical mind with an electrified rock heart and pastoral ...

| | Peter Gabriel So CD (1986) Remastered
Secret World Live songs
$12.05 SO consolidated Gabriel's reputation as an original and exciting composer, capable of projecting sophisticated lyrics on accessible melodies. 'Sledgehammer' was a massive hit (number one in the USA), as was 'Don't Give Up', with Kate Bush's vocals adding extra pathos. 'This Is The Picture' clearly shows the slightly surreal influence of co-writer Laurie Anderson, and the whole is given flight by Daniel Lanois' impeccable production. The towering achievement, however, is 'Mercy Street', a sparely orchestrated and perfectly constructed tribute to the late poet Anne Sexton.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

"The Barry Williams Show" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
Though much effort has obviously been put into the sonic details of UP's production, and to fine effect, the album seems to represent not so much a new direction for Peter Gabriel, but rather a consolidation of the styles he's mined in preceding years. For ...

$13.95 "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 ...
