Flute, Flute [Samples], Voice [Voices] – Peter Gabriel
I think it was on his first solo album, but I could be wrong?
When did Pete last play his flute on record and live?
Will he ever play it again?
Gave it 9.
Distinctly remember the day I bought this record on the first day came out.
Was disappointed with the song till about the 3:20 part when I sort of felt the Genesis of older years I so desperately wanted to hear peeping through a bit.
Probably didn't help that I was deeply ensconced with Trespass and The Lamb at the same time I bought this album way back in 1986....
I suspect that lyric will not be plagiarised anytime soon!!!
Yes, I too thought of Abacab.
I've always liked the song's sort of stream of consciousness lyrics!
Thanks All.
So Tony didn't want to play a song with lyrics about 'snakes' and Phil apparently disliked singing about 'sheets of double glazing'...
Many thanks once again for all the extra info.
Yes, how many tracks from the Lamb album has Phil sung live or on record?
(I can only think of The Carpet Crawlers duet with Pete on record).
Is it not many? Or has he sang more from The Lamb than we might think?
The second half of Alien Afternoon is superb!
I could just imagine Peter Gabriel singing that.
Thank you for the very informative track by track review Christian - most appreciated.
Best Wishes

A great interview. Tony seemed very relaxed, and you seem to have established a good rapport with him Christian.
Thank you.
Gaz.
I always want to ask Tony about his garden! After the massive amount of rain we have had in the UK this 'Summer' it must be looking very verdant!
Mmmm, maybe 9/15??
A typical M&M track. Not awful, but doesn't really set the world on fire either.
Maybe it will grow on me?
QuoteDisplay More"One Way"
There are many ways that I've done wrong
And I made you feel like you don't belong, oh yeah
I wonder why it's taken me, taken me all this time
To see it all from the other side
And finally realise there's
One way to love
It's the same for all of us
One way, two hearts
It's been there from the very start
And I know
That I'm in love with you
Yeah I know
That I'm in love with you
I could have the world at my fingertips, oh yeah
But that don't mean I deserve your kiss, oh no
But in the end it don't mean a thing
'Cause everyone knows there's only
One way to love
It's the same for all of us
One way, two hearts
It's been there from the very start
I know
That I'm in love with you
Yeah I know
That I'm in love with you
I see your face when I think of you
How I love everything you do
And I never felt something like this
Before, hmmm
You're the one that I've always missed
I'm so glad that you exist at all
Oh
One way to love
It's the same for all of us
One way, two hearts
It's been there from the very start
One way to love
It's the same for all of us
One way, two hearts
It's been there from the very start
I know (I'm in love with you)
That I'm in love with you
(I'm in love with you baby)
Yeah I know
I'm in love with you
(I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love)
Spurred on by the original post on this thread I have just listened to every live version of The Knife I posses including the 1980 live versions.
Very interesting.
It was the one song I saw Steve Hackett play live in Nottingham I felt (for me) that Steve did not absolutely nail in the guitar solo section.
I realised on reflection that I was comparing Steve's rendition to Ant's on Trespass, which is of course different.
Daryl does a slightly different take again in his versions.
Would love to hear a live version of The Knife with Ant playing - does that exist anywhere???
I waited so long for So to come out - I had such high anticipation.
It was released in the UK in May 1986.
I was also waiting for Genesis to release Invisible Touch too. That was released in June 1986.
So now at long last I had two new albums from my idols.
The waiting in between albums seemed so long back then.
Now, time and the years seem to simply fly by.
So, back to the songs.
Genesis Invisible Touch was such a disappointment for me personally. I quickly went through the album trying to find the band that I loved, but apart from Domino, I was left saddened and deflated.
I put So on my Technics record player, hoping against hope that Peter would not let me down...
Boy did he restore my faith in his songwriting and singing ability from the get go.
I can still remember the very first time I ever heard Red Rain...
The build up on the drums that became very quickly a joyous crescendo - the fluid, playful and joyous bass guitar, infectious keyboards and Pete's confident soulful vocal.
The lyrics grabbed me right away. What were they about? I didn't know, but I knew I would enjoy finding out.
The album artwork itself was clean, sharp and included the lyrics and details of the musicians and producer.
I knew two minutes in that this was going to be a GREAT PIVOTAL ALBUM for Peter.
I was a Gabriel 4 fanatic, yet here was Peter giving us pop, without losing the sensibilities of Lay Your Hands On Me or Wallflower.
What an artist. What a genius.
I give the track and the whole album 10/10.
It's a time of my life when my favourite artist was producing simply sublime music.
Invisible Touch? It's grown on me of course, but it was no So.
But I was happy to have the two albums in my then much much smaller adolescent music collection!
I was rooting for Stephen & John. Good question.
Thank you Christian & Steve!
