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.

Eh?

You'd throw out THIS ALBUM because Phil played on it? (The most interesting thing that Rone neglected to mention is that Peter took away all his cymbals and made him play ONLY drums.)

You'd throw out the meat of the Gabriel-era Genesis catalog, from Nursery Cryme to the fucking Lamb Lies Down, because Phil played on it?

Philistine.

Yeah, i read about that on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gabriel#The_.22untitled_era.22). Fripp also tried to convince Bruford to eschew cymbals in the `80s incarnation of King Crimson.

No high hat during the Three of A Perfect Pair tour.

Thank god. It's so overused.

No.

I would, instead, bitch about Phil. A lot. A whole lot. In fact, I'd bitch so much that those with limited intelligence and no class would think that I'd throw out whole albums that he'd played on.
