 (7 Customer Reviews)
Although Peter Gabriel received the greatest-hits treatment with 1990's SHAKING THE TREE, the 13 years following that collection made it clear that another, more comprehensive retrospective was needed. During this time, Gabriel recorded only two official solo albums, US and UP, but the avant-pop icon also pursued other audio/visual projects, such as OVO, his contribution to London's massive Millennium Dome exhibit. The two-disc compilation HIT pairs his post-2000 work with his pioneering songs from 1977-1992, and the result is a remarkable musical document.
While HIT features the majority of the classic songs from SHAKING THE TREE, it also includes two essential tracks excluded from that earlier compilation, "The Rhythm of the Heat," a slow-burning exercise in tribal beats, and "In Your Eyes," the gorgeous ballad made famous by the film SAY ANYTHING. Moving on to latter-day Gabriel, HIT offers up the wonderfully grimy stomp of "Digging in the Dirt," the yearning "More Than This," and the previously unreleased "Burn You Up, Burn You Down," which hearkens back to his gloriously quirky mid-'80s period. Other post-SO songs include "Love to Be Loved," "The Tower That Ate People" (from the OVO project), and a live rendition of "Downside Up," featuring Gabriel's daughter Melanie on vocals.
Recorded between 1977 & 2003.

Hit Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Well chosen and a good bargain
This is an excellent overview of Peter Gabriel's career, and with the "Hit-Miss" title of each CD Peter acknowledges that he has two groups of fans - those who know the radio and video hits, and those who have a more album centered appreciation. It is a good cross section of material spanning 27 years. In the first 6 years of his career, he put out 4 discs. In the remaining 21 years he has had only three studio discs, but many compilations, live discs, and especially soundtracks. I am not much of a fan of soundtracks, but I do appreciate "Lovetown" and "Cloudless" being included here, as they are soundtrack songs with vocals. It is also a plus to have two OVO songs with vocals, "Tower" and "Father, Son" included. It is these tracks which make it a bargain, along with the unreleased outtakes from the Growing Up disc and tour. Five songs from So, his best disc. Zero songs from PG2, his weakest. Its about exactly what I would have selected.

What can I say? If you haven't already bought any of Peters CD's and you like his sound these discs will definitely make your day. An unusually wise selection of tunes for a "Best of"!

if you are a fan of this musical genius and former frontman of THE REAL GENESIS then this cd is for you....sound quality is superb....early recordings such as humdrum should have been included though!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Buena compilación, pero...
Faltan quizás temas como "Mercy Street", "Washing of The Water".Éste último, creo que infaltable en una recopilación de grandes éxitos de Peter Gabriel.

Artist Name: EvaBirth Date: 11/15/1974Birth Place: Matanzas, CubaBirth Name: Ada Eva OlivaNationality: CubanOccupation: SingerKnown for: Album: “Padre Usameâ€Ada Eva Oliva known as “Eva†was born in Matanzas, Cuba on November 15, 1974. Arriving in Miami, Florida as a toddler, she grew up listening to Miami’s variety of Latin music. Eva had an interest in singing at a very young age. During her childhood and growing up in the 80’s she admired a lot of the American and Latin singers. She participated in school talent shows, and competitions during her younger years. When Eva was 14 years old, her brother, Alberto Nuñez, now her Manager, spoke to her about the Lord. Even though she was reluctant to a new form of life and a new way of believing, a friend of hers invited her to a church where she started becoming interested in the things of God. Once she gave her heart to the Lord, Jesus Christ, she started singing at church and enjoyed Christian music. Even though she was inspired by music, she never thought about becoming a singer until later on in life. During that time, she decided to go to College and finished her Associates Degree as a Paralegal, and finished her Bachelor Degree in Business Management. While studying her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, her step sister Maylibis Rodriguez (which has composed most of the songs in Eva‘s album) together with her brother, Alberto Nuñez, decided to do a new project for God. With so much talent in the family and Eva’s love for singing, they all knew that working together for God and his glory was one of the best things they can all do in their lives. So they all decided to work together in the album “Padre Usame†translating to “Father Use Me.†Eva: “This project means so much to me as I want the audience to be blessed and know that even though they will face trials ...
| | Thelonious Monk It's Monk's Time CD (1964)
Hit album
$5.95
Although often unrightfully maligned by self-proclaimed "purists," Thelonious Monk did some brilliant work during his early- to mid-'60s stint for Columbia Records. It's Monk's Time (1964) contains some of the best -- if not arguably the best -- studio sides that the pianist cut during his final years as a recording musician. The album's title turned out to be somewhat prophetic, as Time magazine featured Monk as the cover subject for its February 28, 1964, edition. Interestingly, he was to have been profiled by the periodical the previous November; however, the assassination of then-President John F. Kennedy took obvious precedence. It had been almost a full year since his previous studio release, Criss-Cross (1963), and there had been a significant alteration in the rhythm section, which now incorporated the respective talents of both Butch Warren (bass) and Ben Riley (drums) as well as longtime cohort Charlie Rouse (tenor ...
