🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "Birdy" – 1985

A haunting and atmospheric soundtrack created for the film Birdy. The album blends ambient textures, processed instruments, and reworked material from earlier Gabriel recordings, forming a cohesive and introspective sonic landscape...

Peter Gabriel - 'In The Big Room' (2cd) (2026)

Recorded 23 November 2003 in the Real World studios for a small audience, these are excellent performances of recent #PeterGabriel songs and some great oldies and three of my all time favourites: Digging In The Dirt, Shock The Monkey and San Jacinto.

Various Artists, Here It Is: A Tribute To Leonard Cohen, 2022 on Blue Note

Wonderful compilation of covers in tribute to Leonard Cohen by a collection of artists, including:

• Norah Jones – Steer Your Way
• Peter Gabriel – Here It Is
• Gregory Porter – Suzanne
• Sarah McLachlan – Hallelujah
• Immanuel Wilkins – Avalanche
• Luciana Souza – Hey, That’s Now Way To Say Goodbye
• James Taylor – Coming Back To You
• Iggy Pop – You Want It Darker
• Mavis Staples – If It Be Your Will
• David Gray – Seems So Long Ago, Nancy
• Nathaniel Rateliff – Famous Blue Raincoat
• Bill Frisell – Bird On a Wire

It’s challenging, as Cohen songs (“Hallelujah” in particular) have been so heavily covered but I still think people manage to bring something new to these renditions – highly recommended.

My copy—direct from Blue Note—is the standard black vinyl 2xLP version, pressed at Optimal.

🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "Live in Athens 1987" – 2020

In lack of "In the Big Room" I play this live document capturing Peter Gabriel’s celebrated So tour performance. Backed by an exceptional band, the concert blends theatrical presentation with intricate musicianship and expansive arrangements.
Gabriel’s vocal presence anchors the show...
