Peter Gabriel: Early “More Than This” version on Bandcamp

Yesterday, another new track was released on Bandcamp; this time, an early version of More Than This.

Just the day before yesterday, an instrumental version of Growing Up was released as a new track in Peter Gabriel’s Full Moon Club on Bandcamp (see here). Now, yesterday, another new track was released.

More Than This (Full Moon Club Version) is a recording from May 1999. Peter himself says:

More Than This came right at the end and I’d started a thing with guitar samples. I was mucking around with guitars and Daniel Lanois left his beautiful Telecaster here. I can’t play guitar to save my life but I can make noises on it. The samples that we were getting I was then manipulating on the keyboard and the first sound that you hear on this track is that sort of thing and the track was built around that. I’d always liked it and in fact it was actually driving through the Italian Alps, again it is one of these scenic detours, and I found this old cassette which had this stuff on it where I’d been playing around with a different groove and that started all to make sense to me at that point.

Gabriel’s Full Moon Club on Bandcamp provides fans with at least three tracks per month and costs £3 per month. A credit card is required for the subscription. You can find the Full Moon Club here.
