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.

See, Gabriel started sucking when they made him put titles on his albums. So was entirely down to the US record company.

What, not Security?

That title

was added as a compromise only after the album was released. It came on a separate sticker, even, with only the same old "peter gabriel" on the actual album cover and disk labels. The German version didn't use the title at all; it was simply "ein deutsches album" (vs. the earlier "deutsches album").
