peter gabriel - [untitled] (melt)

[rone]

This album has some groundbreaking soundwork for the time, which mostly survives to this day without sounding dated.  I'm more familiar with his newer work, so this album was a bit surprising in that it wasn't as, well, poppy.  "Games Without Frontiers", a track that i've heard on the radio for a long time, showed more depth when i was able to listen to it more closely and on something better than my car's radio.

as much as I've heard that song, the word 'popular' ... never would have crossed my mind for what it being sung there.

Not with the 'F' sound at the start of that. Or 'S' or something. Definately a soft sound, not a hard stop glottal thing. I suck at the description of sounds.

I admit it sounds silly. But I just pulled it up to hear it again, and they really *pop* out that first syllable, so it takes on a P sound.

It wasn't until I heard the 5.1 remix on the DVD "Play" that I recognised the voice was Kate Bush's and she was singing "Jeux Sans Frontiers" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeux_Sans_Frontieres)
