简介:
Peter Gabriel is, to put it mildly, a mercurial artist. The guy who co-founded the prog-rock juggernaut Genesis when he was a teenager is now a gray-bearded elder statesman of 52, freshly emerged from a decade-long hiatus that saw him burying his immense commercial success and strongly developed pop sensibilities beneath a flurry of side projects—developing his Real World record label, co-founding a human rights watch organization called Witness, composing music for London’s Millennium Dome. After such a long retreat from the spotlight, the release of Gabriel’s new album Up is causing an understandable buzz in the music world. It’s not quite as highly anticipated as the second Star Wars trilogy, but close.Amid such high expectations, it’s hard to approach Up‘s difficult material with an open mind. What in the heck has Gabriel been up to for the last ten years? Is he still dabbling in African and Middle Eastern rhythms? Has his voice gotten even raspier? Is he writing more “Sledgehammers” or more “Blood of Edens”? Or hell, maybe he’s gone back to his freak-paint Lamb Lies Down on Broadway days. With Gabriel, there’s no telling.

In truth, Gabriel’s been doing all of the above, which works to both his benefit and detriment. In its scope and sonic complexity, Up surpasses even the extraordinary richness of Passion, Gabriel’s soundtrack to The Last Temptation of Christ. It’s the most sophisticated record he’s ever made; songs like “Darkness” and “Sky Blue” really sound like they took ten years to make, breathing with dense, thoughtful instrumentation and taking more startling twists and turns than a David Mamet thriller. (The album’s press notes mention that the album required “its own archaeology department”, which sounds like a joke until you check the liner notes and realize that on “Sky Blue” Daniel Lanois is credited with sampling his own work on an earlier, discarded version of the track.)曲目:

2. Growing Up
3. Sky Blue
4. No Way Out
