please do not swear when passing comments

its rude and silly .

[armondo22]

really would rather hear new material, but anything Peter does is genius.

This interview is great, thank you! Helps me understand the "why" of this album :)

[tajmon1]

Damn cant wait for new album!!

[ageshero]

Most comments were a year ago? jjjeesh... What have i been missing out on. This stuff is amazing. I would like to see peter go back to wacky prog rock.

I found this album as a 24 Bit FLAC dowload from Bowers and Wilkins.

Stunning. Thanyou Peter.

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

Bowie's retired that's why, but eno was game .

[JeramyTheGirl]

Im really obssessed with this whole project. He's simply picked the best artists.

I can't wait for the response album "I'll scratch yours" !!!!

[ajittffcure]

Very nice to hear this. Peter Gabriel does sound great here. It is an interesting concept. But I think only David Bowie didn't want to do a track by Peter Gabriel. I wonder why? Was he too scared of doing it or something?

@wallflower56 fuck you

[sfwoodward]

Great Cd Peter.

Got it for my birthday. great pressy.

Love your interpretation. love Listening Wind & Power of the Heart at the moment.

Gabriel probably doesnt' know it, he is gradually going back to he's original music, I'm waiting patiently, and anxiously!

[JRHartly1984]

I have infinite respect and admiration for Peter Gabriel as an artist - in fact he's one of my biggest influences as a musician but I can see why Bowie declined his offer of doing this song in this context.
