Latest Peter Gabriel

Audiogoon - I agree - I didn't think the sonics were all that special when I initiated the post, but had only listened to a few songs. The first one has a pretty harsh (musically) sound. I've listened a few times now and think the sonics are very good.

I listened to it the other night. I thought the sonics were excellent, lots of depth although maybe a little bass heavy. I'm still getting a handle on the songs but I think it could become a favorite as I become more familiar with it.

I am also at the early stages of listening to this record.
I agree I think the production is superb.
I think this is a very interesting record most of the arrangements and song structures are quite unusual in a subtle way.
I am pleasantly surpirsed after Us which I thought was very much a bad attempt to recreate the So album.
It may be more moody but it sounds a whole lot fresher than Us.

Sean, did she only buy two tickets??? Chicago isn't that far from here.

A little late to post this, but...
I consider this album one of the 10 best audiophile recordings of all time. The imaging is spooky - wrap around effects in stereo! Amazing bass extension, and deep, deep sound staging. It helps of course that the music is from one of the most artistic performers in popular music. Yes, the subject matter is dark, but no one complains about Kafka, right!

Enjoy.
