Following his departure from Genesis in 1976, Peter Gabriel began work on the first of three consecutive eponymously titled albums; each record was named Peter Gabriel, he said, as if they were editions of the same magazine.
Produced by Steve Lillywhite and released in 1980, the album established Gabriel as one of rock's most ambitious, innovative musicians, as well as one of its most political — "Biko," a song about a murdered anti-apartheid activist, became one of the biggest protest anthems of the '80s.
In 1993, Gabriel embarked on the most ambitious WOMAD tour to date, touring the United States with a roster including Crowded House, James, and Sinead O'Connor, with whom he had an on-off romantic relationship.

 Peter Gabriel
The first solo album by Peter Gabriel is not a masterpiece, as you perfectly say; but we know that the passage from the leadership of a famous group to a solo carrier is always painful.
Peter also contributes his best vocal performance of the album, both in singing and in his lyrics (which I guess are about being in a rain of blood, perhaps after a heavy battle or something like that).
But Peter knows that the only person able to take him out this situation is the same one who left him there, his wife (he needs her to stay close, to give him support).

 The History of Rock Music. Peter Gabriel: biography, discography, reviews, links
Peter Gabriel, who had helped invent progressive-rock when he was Genesis' vocalist, became a tormented and angst-ridden poet of the post-industrial neuroses, capable of delivering harrowing visions of the psychological holocaust in tightly crafted musical formats.
Gabriel's ethno-electronic grooves (which, in the meantime, had become a chic genre) already had roots in modern philosophy, but with the further abstraction that it underwent in the Passion it "became" a philosophy of its own.
Gabriel indulges in several formats, as if to explore the same theme through different eyes: from the whirling Persian dervishes of The Feeling Begins to the minimalist concerto of Zaar, from the psychedelic ecstasy of Open (another highlight) to the distant echoes of galactic music that constitute Stygmata.

 Peter Gabriel
Since his departure, Peter has released about ten albums, and, while there can still be found traces of an old Genesis sound on the first two ones, it sometimes seems to me that he's been intentionally alienating himself from his past all this time.
Maybe Peter was not the first person to marry rock music to ethnic rhythms, but he's certainly the most consistent and laborious worker in that direction.
What Peter was trying to find here is a new prescription, a new direction for rock to follow, by doing quite a simple thing, in fact: taking these rock basics and meshing them with those existent musical styles that haven't yet been married to rock, or have been married to it insufficiently.
