Peter Gabriel and music like his


Hello,

I'm a big fan of Peter Gabriel and his music in every aspect. Do any of you know of well-recorded musical styles like his whether female or male. Thanks.

Canucks0, you pose a tough question. I saw your post a few days ago and did not know how to respond. Not sure I'll do well now either...

I am a big fan of Peter Gabriel music from throughout his career. Nothing strikes me immediately as being "like Peter Gabriel" really - it's tough to think of artists who 'stretched out time' (varying tempos within a single line or verse, singing slowly, etc) on a record in the same way. The one who comes most easily to mind is David Bowie.

Other artists who fit into a similar "interesting, slightly off-the-beaten-path, intellectual, constantly searching" mold might be Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, David Bryne, and perhaps a slight nod to Bryan Ferry/RoxyMusic.
Well, there's nothing quite like Peter Gabriel; even early Gabriel (e.g. Genesis) is very different from his current stuff. You might like Steve Hackett's recent releases (he was also in early Genesis). Another band that falls into the art-symphonic-progressive vein and has Gabriel-like moments is "The Flower Kings - Stardust We Are".

Enjoy,
Bob
try expanding into Gabriels projects other than his "solo" stuff. Afro Celt Sound System is killer. kind of techno meets "Sounds From the Hearts of Space"
