I was 14 when I got time to hear from Peter Gabriel for the first, Sledgehammer. I found it beautiful ... so I did not took care of further. But the song was so often on the airwaves that he me then but eventually liked. Then at the end of the year 86 I then bought such as cassette me; for my Walkman, because at that age you're curious about new music and only recording of radio has often been very frustrating because often lacked some or moderator chatting purely ... The cassette was then in one go; I was flabbergasted. Madness !!! I had found for a long time my musical port. After the first hearing, I found all the songs better than Sledgehammer, especially Red Rain was a mad experience when you hear it for the first time, as I previously never knew. That made me even more curious and bought with under major problems (3 and 4 I only get in the summer of 1988), its remaining disks so remained my favorite record. He has influenced me, if it was the type of clothes, the hairstyle or the way of singing. On him I could get my bearings. PG was the idol of my youth and young adulthood, and still has a place in my life. Too bad that I did not know him personally fortunate. One of the greatest artists of our time, who still makes his thing. On this LP or CD, there are no outliers downwards. All songs have a very high musical level that even after 25 years is today still a pleasure to listen again. My Anspieltips: That voice again, Red Rain and naturally Mercy Street.
