Peter Gabriel Archives - Progrography

[Review] Cat Stevens: Mona Bone Jakon (1970)

A slightly sweet biscuit before the proper serving of Tea and Teaser to follow.

Trick of the Tail proved there would be life after Lamb, but not this album.

Two years after leaving Genesis, Peter Gabriel writes a great song about it. Unfortunately, the first record went downhill after that.

Scratching at greatness, this is a study in light and dark featuring modern rock songs and achingly sad songs too.

A remarkable musical travelogue that reflects his recent work with David Bowie, Darryl Hall, Peter Gabriel, The Roches and Brian Eno.

His breakthrough third album mixes world music with world politics to sometimes shocking effect.

A complex, subtle cabernet of internalized shame and global change.

A song that isn’t about shocking monkeys that literally appeared in a film about shocking monkeys.

[Kronomyth 5.0] There’s Security in These Numbers.

The view from the hill a few years down the road.

The more ear-opening (if less eye-opening) followup to Laurie’s first album.

The album where Phil Collins became a commercial force and probably began earning more money than some small countries.

Peter Gabriel’s so-phisticated response to the Afrobeat awakening.

[Kronomyth 6.99] It’s Hammer Time.

Gabriel’s daring exploration of world ambient music also served as the soundtrack to The Last Temptation of Christ.
