Indeed,Peter Gabriel is not the sort of artist who makes light pop music,but once you understand where his vision is coming from,you know it some of the most rewarding music you have ever heard. Like David Byrne,he seems to be spouting incomprehensible nonsense,but it is the "nonsense" of a genius that you have to pay attention to to understand. Of course his first solo records after Genesis were thick and moody, but those same songs performed live (Plays Live,of course) are nothing short of thrilling, like early U-2. U-2,before the self-absorbed pretension set in. Peter Gabriel's studio and live records (yes,at first they were RECORDS-LP's-they go back that far!) compliment one another,get them both to feel the full experience.
