I think Ane Brun did a GREAT job on the New Blood version. Her voice is extremely fragile, it sounds beautiful.
No. Horrible beyond belief. (wrong notes too) Check Jennie Abrahamson's version in 2013 and 2014 for reference. His best partner that wasn't Kate.

Will be seeing Jennie Abrahamsson in a Kate Bush tribute cocert on tuesday.... she is fantastic
yeah, saw her on Peter's last tour in 2014. One of the best concerts I ever attended, and I'm very hard to impress. (the original band that did So was on this tour and the entire album was played in the second half, absolutely brilliant)

Yeah I saw that tour too. It was great.

Saw Growing Up Lve too and Secret World live too before that.

Secret World to me is the best concert I have ever seen.

Will try to get tickets for the upcoming tour on friday.

Somehow, if you follow this link, you can already get tickets for many shows.

I'm the guy who thinks Gabriel never made a bad solo album.
yeah me too (possible exception being PG2, but then again, I don't hate that one either)

I think II is great, way better than I. It seems so somber and fragile, very unique.

I'm not a huge fan of I or II, though both have their moments.

And I'm a big fan of I, could be his best album actually. II doesn't do much for me though.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

II might actually be my favorite solo album of his. It's both accessible and eccentric at the same time. That side A is just perfect, every song is fantastic.

I'm going to see if this tour is feasible for us. I wonder if the New Blood Orchestra will be involved...

By today's standards, that's not bad at all.  I'd be all over a ticket at that price if he came to the States and hit STL.

I highly doubt he will bring an orchestra on tour. That was just to support his orchestra albums, right?

You're right. Just wishful thinking on my part. Wish I'd gotten to see that show. I really love the studio and live New Blood material.

Hey, that sounds pretty good! Sounds like his voice has held up in the ages since his last release (New Blood was 11 years ago!).

a comment from the internet...

"Here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna read my newsletter. In that newsletter they'll be a link for a teaser. Watch it with the volume up. Even if it's not for you, you're gonna proceed to the official site. You're gonna give me your email address and I'll notify you when the album's ready. The tour too. You're gonna pump money into both because you're at the age where you really don't have a choice. Will be as good as the old stuff? No. But, and I can't say this strongly enough, you're going to keep quiet about it."

new song tomorrow January 6th, 2023 per the newsletter

Quote
Happy New Year to you all! Here we are again, it’s almost the full moon – told you it would be here before we knew it - and we’re back with Part One of our first update of 2023. And it’s a big one…
 
Friday, 6 January will see the release of the first new song from Peter Gabriel’s forthcoming album i/o. Written and produced by Peter, Panopticom was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire and The Beehive in London. The track is accompanied by a cover image by the artist David Spriggs (above).
 
When you open up your preferred digital music platform tomorrow (or today, depending on where you are in the world!), the track will be there for your listening pleasure. We hope you like it.

The first song is based on an idea I have been working on to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe: The Panopticom. We are beginning to connect a like-minded group of people who might be able to bring this to life, to allow the world to see itself better and understand more of what’s really going on.

Musically, Panopticom drives along powered by the engine-room of long-time collaborators Tony Levin, David Rhodes and Manu Katché, underpinned by haunting electronics from Brian Eno. Additional backing vocals come from Ríoghnach Connolly of The Breath. The lyric is, in part, inspired by the extraordinary work of three groups, Forensic Architecture, Bellingcat and the Gabriel co-founded pioneering human rights organisation WITNESS.
 
We’ll be back tomorrow with Part Two, where you’ll find out a bit more about Panopticom and the plans for future releases of new songs, but suffice to say the full moon is going to continue to be at the centre of things...
 
Happy listening and see you tomorrow.

I like the new track quite a bit. Wasn't following much news regarding his new album but interesting concept based on the Moon phases.

I'm digging the new songs. Seeing as so far, both mixes are only out for "Panopticom", I tried listening to both mixes at the same time! I have to say, This Is The Way. Peter's voice doesn't get muddled or accentuated, but the music hits that much harder in some areas, and it's rather grand. The groove really hits. I can't wait for the Bright-Side mix of "The Court" to try it with that song as well. This might be a quadraphonic experience album....

it's a great way to showcase the drum sound by introducing the album with that awesome drumming and sound.

Got tickets for Chicago. Fucking stoked! Will be nice to see the full PG production. The only time I saw him was in Dallas with the New Blood production.

Was holding out for the album but now I caved inn and bought all songs so far released from Bandcamp.

Really looving them.... great 5 song EP.

Will be seeing him on the 31st of May here i Stockholm. Row 8.... So stoked.

Have seen him thrice before.
- Secret World Live      1993 (best concertI have ever seen)
- Growing Up Live        2003  (amazingly good)
- Back to Front              2014  (really good)


Hoping for another really good concert

He's releasing it track by track, one a month to coincide with each new moon (and on the half moon he releases a different mix of the track. Bit of an oddball is our Pete). We're 6 tracks in now, about halfway through, so the full thing should be released at the end of the year or thereabouts.

You have a lot of good stuff to look forward to.
I think I have heard the full album live (or at least 11 songs) and six of the songs in studio versions.
It will be a great record.

I'm really digging Road to Joy.  It is eerily close to Kiss That Frog but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So fun to drive to.

Anybody want to give a brief rundown of the differences between the Light Side and Dark Side mixes?

I finally decided to download a few with some free download credits I had that were going to expire but I can't listen to them because I'm getting over a ruptured ear drum. Hopefully within the week I can listen and compare
