THE REVIEW

I consider Peter Gabriel an extraordinary angel with multiple abilities, who manages to fulfill his role of communication between earth and the infinite, between man and God, he can paint with sound the perfect images of Jesus' sorrow, and everything beyond this life, he gives sensitive people the opportunity to reconnect with their deceased loved ones. "Passion," "Birdy," part of "Up," and part of "Ovo" can, as mentioned, give those with the gift of sensitivity the perception of the extraordinary connection between life and the meaning of life's value with sound, rhythm, and melody.

This may seem difficult, but it is real and possible; few receive and translate it, but that's just how it is. I find a spontaneous, united, and sought-after reflection also in other angels like Robert Smith or David Sylvian, who have the ability to take you to unexplored places on the edge of being, and as Sylvian says Everything and Nothing with God you can go with everything and or nothing.

 Ovo is a rich essence of moods composing a universal puzzle calibrated with futuristic progression.

 He is a genius artist with a capital A, able in an Album to circumscribe the essential of what generally gets lost along the way.
