Peter Gabriel
III

THE REVIEW

Peter Gabriel "III," a fundamental album as well as a fulcrum to "close" in a certain sense with the past and open a new chapter of a more mature style. The cover photo alone describes the "dissolution" of his personality. He will begin to employ new sounds rich in energy and drive that will, in time, inspire many musicians in the years to come, even Phil Collins. And it won't just be an album to listen to, but an album whose listening experience will lead you to travel in a way full of emotions and daily life. It exalts his persona, his creativity, and the desire to change from the past, communicated in the song "I Don't Remember," meaning I don't remember and don't want to remember, so I move on.

Invariably, important musicians flow through, such as the very sweet Kate Bush, Dave Gregory, the legendary and ubiquitous Robert Fripp, Morris Pert, Paul Weller, John Giblin, who will replace the "inevitable" Tony Levin. Gabriel's first two albums are a sort of experiment as a solo artist, the third is the affirmation. The tracks? Excellent! "Games Without Frontiers," dedicated to the fallen in Nicaragua, sung as if it were a nursery rhyme but to be taken seriously, "Biko" will become a symbol against apartheid in South Africa, written to create a clear situation of inhumanity and accusation of race, and a murder that will ignite a devastating spark like an uncontainable fire, "Not One of Us" and "Intruder," where he seeks solitude to find himself after losing self-control "No Self Control," the anger of something that disturbs you and you need to make it known to others "Family Snapshot" and the desire to return to normal life "Lead a Normal Life."

Gabriel, the Angel, here has given his best by describing his life, the percussion marks, the guitars emphasize, and the music is multi-ethnic, and it will be the launch pad, which will increasingly recognize him in the future.
