Genesis is a rock ... ( 11 months ago by ABCRE2)

Genesis is a rock group. Scritti was, and IS, a array of things. People stick to what they feel safe with. No offence to them, but i'd go for Scritti first. I'd imagine "nobody" in the "electronica" and "darkwave" Scene talks about them, The two genres a rittled with cookie cutter groups and sounds.

An "array of things". Well, let's say that this is so.
None of those things are something that could have ever overshadowed the grounds breaking work Gabriel did in pop music at the time of this video. What Scritti did then was poop.

It's easy in 2007 to look back at 1982 and poke fun... we'll all do the same to hair styles clothing and dance in 2027 when we look back at today.
To minimize the impact of Peter Gabriels solo work and his influence on both popular music composition as well as experimental music is short sighted and niave.

Afaik, the control side of it was in fact m68k, not x86; meaning that DOS could not be run on it. It ran its own operating system.

And we'll look back at the music of 07 and say, "That sucks; let's hear something from 82."

You're probably quite correct! I can't imagine we'll be wanting more 2007 pop or ass shaking video's
I can't believe I spelled naive wrong :)

Genius. So far ahead of its time. Remember "shock the monkey!"?

Interesting comment ... ( 10 months ago by twentyonesixteen)

Interesting comment. I don't hear a lot of PG influence in today's music..certainly not pop music. Are there indie type artist copping this sound? I occasionally hear a cover of IYE (like we need ANOTHER one). Honestly, I think this music was a product OF the times, not ahead of it. I LOVE PG3&4, but he lost me after that. He had one good idea (the world music/pop fusion) and has beaten it to death the last 20 years. Still can't believe he took TEN YEARS to make "UP", I expected more.

I thought UP was a big of dog as well. I wanted lots more and didn't think it was worthy of his previous catalog.
PG's affect on music I believe is more related to his abilities to be inventive as we see here with his sampling. Also his production techniques have be copied and many are still used today, pumping an entire mix with your compressor, the gated reverb (yes flogged to death and not heard much now - thx)

PG's soundtrack for ... ( 10 months ago by PilferMusic)

PG's soundtrack for the Last Temptation of Christ is brilliant and the style has shown up on other soundtracks and songs... sorry no reference ;)
The dense production on the Security release and the lack of cymbals through out the songs did provide a specific feel that has been replicated.
I can't comment much on today's pop music... there's none that I really find interesting enough to want to listen too. Though I do hear shades of PG in Radiohead... and bands of this caliber.

Interesting, saw Gabriel right after PG4 was released and he was quite powerful/psychotic/interesting. Thomas Dolby also did a lot with the fairlight.

It's not really about music, it seems he was just astonished by its sampling abilities. I didn't listen much to Gabriel when he started on that World Music business.

Thanks for this - I recall seeing a doc on UK TV after PGIV (one of my fave albums). Wonder if this is the same. Some talk of record company rejecting it. JC!

Think about all of the cutting edge stuff we have today that we'll be laughing at 30 years from now.
Fairlight rules.

Very interesting, ... ( 3 months ago by totaltwit)

Very interesting, I'm no fan of PG but it is plain to see he knows what he's doing, very much aware and alert for such a young man! What you see him do here is exactly what sampling is all about, making your own sounds, feeling the texture, mood and emotion they create.

For my fellow sound-freaks: my 2008 dance mix of Moments In Love by Art Of Noise, is basically my homage to the Fairlight ARR1preset (the breathy voice-like sound you hear on that record). I use original Fairlight samples to play a nice solo part with it. If you want to check it out - and my other tracks - simply look for the Matt Mix! Matt Pop.
