 Birdy by Peter Gabriel (1992)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Birdy is an adaptation of William Wharton’s novel of the same title that tells the story of two best friends in their teens, Al and his buddy Birdy who is obsessed by birds and flying.
After the war, Birdy ends up in a psychiatric hospital perched in his room like a bird, and unable to communicate with the rest of the world.
Birdy’s other attempt at flight is captured in a more comical sequence and uses "La Bamba" but this song is not included on the CD.

 Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Peter Gabriel - Birdy
Birdy, the soundtrack to Alan Parker's film of the same name, is the probably the most atypical album in Peter Gabriel's catalogue.
Birdy was the result of a session (lasing "a couple of weeks") wherein Gabriel manipulated the basic tracks of some earlier releases.
The best track on the album is "Slow Marimbas", another miracle of sonic manipulation which seems strongly inspired by recordings of outdoor gamelan festival (the insect effects from the keyboards do little to dispel this illusion).

 Peter Gabriel Birdy Soundtrack SACD Review
The music for “Birdy” is a collection of songs that include interpretations of past Gabriel songs, as well as new melodies and compositions that are inspired by the mood of the film.
According to Gabriel in the liner notes, some of the tunes on the record never made the final cut in the film but they represent both “Birdy’s” themes and the album as a collection of songs that have their own creative life beyond the scope of the film.
While “Birdy” might not have caught your attention in the theaters back in 1985 (who could pry themselves away from “Miami Vice” anyway?), this record is certainly worth your attention if you are a Peter Gabriel fan and/or in need of a fantastically compelling, atmospheric record.

 Peter Gabriel MP3 Downloads - Peter Gabriel Music Downloads - Peter Gabriel Music Videos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Nearly half of the album's dozen tracks incorporate threads from material found on Gabriel's 1982 Security set, including "Close Up," which makes use of keyboard passages from "Family Snapshot," and "The Heat," which is a reworking of "The Rhythm of the Heat" and builds to a frenzied percussive crescendo.
The fact that Birdy is comprised of all instrumentals means that listeners whose familiarity with Gabriel is limited to "Sledgehammer" and "In Your Eyes" will be largely disappointed.

Little Birdy have come to that point in their life where the world is their oyster.
Their debut album, Big Big Love, is now out and about, with the band set to hit the road accordingly.
Certainly the band are excited about it, but there must be some pressure building upon the band – their label mate Missy Higgins debuted atop the chart, while the Dissociatives have scored a sway of ARIA nominations.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock GA-GH
This album is one of the most innovative albums ever committed to recording media, and the only thing I wonder is why "common" people were able to get into the songs that got heavy radio airplay, particularly "Shock the Monkey" and to a lesser extent "The Rhythm of the Heat" and "San Jacinto".
Already their first album shows that this is a very original band with a level of the complexity of compositions that can be quite compared to the most serious albums of the '70s.
Musically the album features a higher percentage of pure filler than any album they had done to date, which was necessary during the live performances to allow Gabriel ample time to change costumes.

 World of Genesis - Peter Gabriel - Album Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
While the album's commercial success was limited to the song "Solsbury Hill," the album serves as a pivotal step in his evolvement as a solo artist.
The original edition was a double length album; however, a highlights (one disc) version was introduced when the project was issued on CD in Europe for the first time.
The album is a one-disc compilation that spans Gabriel's career starting from his debut self-titled album through Passion, but it is far from being a complete representation or even a half-way decent highlights of his early work as a solo artist.

So in some ways it is safe for an artist to put all of these very personal things into their work, because they are the director, and the editor and the writer - they can play God with things that are actually outside of their work.

 Andy Votel - All Ten Fingers : album review
There is a feeling of being at one with nature throughout this album, from the birdy sounds of On Dogs to the swimming-with-dolphins feel of The Viy.
But the purely instrumental pieces of this album are far too abstract and detached, and the incoherency of this album is only saved somewhat by the guest vocalists scattered through some of the 15 tracks.
Most albums fit a time and place, and in terms of place, I tried treating this album as lounge music, travelling music, music to read by, music to walk by, but it never quite fitted any of the above.

That is not to detract at all from the quality of this album, which is a very ambitious and well-conceived effort by one of the almighty Oldhams.
Some of the more outstanding songs include “Little Birdy,” which is an upbeat pop song, therefore making it unlike most of the other tracks on the album.
Although, I was a little put off by the lyrics, which go, “Little birdy, little birdy/What makes you fly so high/Because I’m a true little birdy/And I don’t want to die.” Nevertheless, it’s definitely one of my favorites on the album.
