	New Blood (Special Edition) (2CD) Price: $18.98 $12.68 New Blood is a continuum of Peter's previous `Scratch My Back' album - the song-swap project where he covered the songs of others, all to an orchestral backing. Thanks to the precise arrangements by John Metcalf and Peter, the treatment was so successful that Peter very quickly knew where he wanted to take it next, and work began to apply the same principals to his own songs....

Product Description

Originally released in 2002. If Peter Gabriel and the amazing attention to detail in this recording aren't enough there are fantastic contributions as diverse as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and The Blind Boys of Alabama on vocals, as well as Peter Green (formally of Fleetwood Mac) on guitar and Danny Thompson on double bass (Talk Talk, David Sylvian, Tim Buckley and Nick Drake to name a few). Up not only fills several years but spans several continents. A wonderful, very personal album.

That Up exists at all is faintly miraculous. Over the past seven years, with guests including Youssou N'Dour, Peter Green, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Peter Gabriel has held recording sessions in Senegal, Atlanta, Singapore, the French Alps, and on a boat on the Amazon River, as well as at his own RealWorld studios. Having written and prepared over 150 songs, he's managed to cut this huge body of work down to just 10 tracks. There's a remarkable consistency and contemporary feel here that springs from a thoughtful layering process, with Gabriel combining tribal rhythms with complex backing vocals, samples, rock guitar, piano and--crucially--electronic effects. Indeed, the opener, "Darkness," begins with an aggressiveness that recalls the Prodigy, before hints of vulnerability and fear surface. Elsewhere, there is the dreamy "The Drop" and the orchestral heights of "Signal to Noise." Throughout, Gabriel uses water metaphors to put forward his positivist message. And it's all brilliant, sophisticated, and soulful. The man's a marvel and Up is a masterwork. --Dominic Wills

From the Artist
"The album is a 'bookends' record, looking more at the beginning and the end of life than the middle". This is a personal album, reflecting on the life that grows out of death and recognizing patterns and forces at work above and beneath our normal focus." Peter Gabriel
