Album tracks


Peter took a lot of time for his fourth album (at least from the perspective at the time). The reason for this could also be that he had to record the album at home with rented equipment and so he did not need to stick to studio time schedules, which left more time for experimental sessions. The TV show Southbank Show, quite popular among fans, gives a good insight in the way he worked in those days (click here). The album recording sessions were finished by the summer of 1982...

The tour supporting the album was called Playtime 88 and started (after two special events during the first WOMAD festival in July) at the end of October 1982 and lasted (with a half year break) a year. Again, the live set provided some space for yet unheared non album tracks ...

An interesting remake of the track Dog One, which was only played once during the WOMAD festival, was released by Tony Levin in 2002. Peter Gabriel himself was not involved, but nearly his whole band from 1982 was. A theme of the track Wallflower was altered for the track At Night for the Birdy-Soundtrack. New recordings of the songs The Rhythm Of The Heat, San Jacinto and Wallflower were made in 2010/11 for his orchestral album New Blood.
