Channel4.com - SlashMusic - Secret World Live An aural postcard of Gabriel's 1993-1994 "Us World Tour", SECRET WORLD LIVE is demonstrative of this studio perfectionist's ability to produce singular, textured works in any setting. This mix provides SECRET WORLD LIVE with its world-beat meets new age jazz meets English art-soul sound. It all makes Gabriel's SECRET WORLD LIVE add up to a musical stew that is equal parts William Gibson, Carl Jung and Fela Kuti. www.channel4.com /music/music-core/album.jsp?albumId=218340   (221 words)

eXile - Issue #162 - World Book Encyclopedia, 2004 Edition: Iraq   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) The world's first known civilization began along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now the 51st state. The state is developing into a beachhead of liberty in the Arab world, mirroring the success of de-communiziation of Eastern Europe. The trade in kidneys from live donors also has shown a significant addition to the GDP of the state. www.exile.ru /2003-March-20/world_book_encyclopedia_2004_edition_iraq.html   (1203 words)

Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Released in 1994, “Secret World Live” captures a bearded Gabriel and the band performing in Italy, the heart of Gabriel fandom on the winter leg of the 1993’s Secret World Tour. “Secret World Live” has recently been reissued on DVD and is looking all the better for it, with a variety of extra features including a nice interview with Gabriel, going behind the scenes of the show. Highlights include Come talk to Me, Steam, San Jacinto, Secret World and Digging in the Dirt which sees Gabriel with a video camera strapped to his head, filming unsightly close-ups of his eyes, nose and mouth, projected on to the huge rotating screen. thegabrielroom.free.fr /memoFilmSwl.htm   (164 words)

Peter Gabriel - Secret World - Live [1994] DVD at Shop Ireland Secret World, and Peter Gabriel's 1980's - 1990's vintage work was always lighter than the ascendant Nirvarna's et al of the time, but that doesn's make it any the worse. Following on nicely from Secret World (albeit after a 10 year wait!), this looks set to be a remarkable show judging by the sneak preview we see here. This DVD of the 1993 Secret World Tour re-lives many of Peter Gabriel's best loved songs with the great sound only a live proformance gives, mixed brilliantly into 5.1. www.shopireland.ie /dvd/reviews/B00008W42Z/2   (1184 words)

Gabriel, Peter: Secret World Live (Real World, 1994.09.13)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Secret World enters an inner realm that is knowable only through the range of emotion it gives rise to, joining ecstasy and agony into music that avoids being larger than life and instead is as large as life itself. A mastersroke for the Secret World Tour was employing the services of set designer, Robert Lepage whose visual effects and concepts have a similar emotional footing to much of PG's musical output. Despite what are probably the whingeings of a purist, the standout feature of Secret World Live is that, despite masses of electronica required to create this sound in a live setting, the organic nature of band and music is still the overriding effect. www.audio-music.info /g/CD-1682-1683.htm   (6345 words)

Amazon.com: Secret World Live: Music: Peter Gabriel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) "Secret World" is the second of two live albums released by Gabriel, and by far the better of the two. The first, "Plays Live," was released twelve years earlier, and "Secret World" reveals an artist who had made tremendous strides in the meantime. True, Gabriel most likely did not want to repeat himself extensively from "Plays Live," but this record is so good, it leaves you begging to hear the versions of his earlier material as he played them on this tour. www.amazon.com /Secret-World-Live-Peter-Gabriel/dp/B000000OTY   (953 words)

Secret World Live - DVD film: Totaltiorden.dk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) I own the DVD of SWL as well, which is incredible in itself, but unfortunately cuts off some of the best parts of certain songs - like a young Paula Cole shaking the tree with her incredible voice. It is not your typical greatest hits + a few obscure new songs, but rather the concert flows like a conversation, almost leading the listener into believing that she is listening to a concept album. "Secret World" live documents the tour for "Us"-- the setlist is biased towards later material, seven songs from "Us", four from "So", "Shaking the Tree" and one new song leave only two tracks from the early part of Gabriel's career-- brief instrumental "Slow Marimbas" from "Birdy" and "Solsbury Hill" from his debut album. www.totaltiorden.dk /shop/dvd_details.php/B000000OTY|dvd   (545 words)

PETER GABRIEL Secret World Live (DVD) reviews and MP3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) In “Secret World” there is a huge dome that moves down from top to the stage floor when the song ends. Of course I couldn't forget la piece de resistance (Secret World) this atmospheric track that has a clear Genesis influence is incredible, Peter does a fair job at the keyboards and the joke with bag is the perfect first ending for a concert. There's one point on "Secret World" where Peter takes a kind of sutcase, puts it on the floor, opens it and it seems the whole band got into it (There was really a hole on the floor and the sutcase and the guys got under the stage throuhg the hole in the sutcase). www.progarchives.com /Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=6933   (3383 words)

ipedia.com: Peter Gabriel Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) During "The Knife", a popular live song from the Trespass album, Gabriel would perform a stunt that, two decades later, became extremely common: stage diving. Gabriel has been interested in world music for many years, with the first musical evidence appearing on his third album. He created the Real World Studios and record label to facilitate the creation and distribution of such music by various artists, and he has worked to educate Western culture about the work of such musicians as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Youssou N'dour. www.ipedia.com /peter_gabriel.html   (627 words)

Amazon.ca: Secret World Live: Music: Peter Gabriel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Peter Gabriel's Secret World came at the right time for a lot of people who came to the age when spiritual and personal questioning begins. Throughout Secret World I found anguish and release, "Digging in the Dirt", "Blood of Eden", "San Jacinto" and hope and celebration with "Don't give up" and "In your eyes". Recorded live on his "Secret World Tour" in support of his 1992 album, "US," "Secret World Live" is an excellent live document of this most gifted musical genius. www.amazon.ca /Secret-World-Live-Peter-Gabriel/dp/B000000OTY   (1012 words)

Amazon.ca: Gabriel, Peter: Secret World Live: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) What we hear on the DVD is some compressed live sound way in the background with layered studio sound in the "foreground." The studio sound is of a performance with little energy at best. I was first introduced to Peter Gabriel's live shows on his 2002/2003 "Growing Up" tour, being too young to have caught him on his previous tours 10 years earlier. "Secret World Live" was his 1994 concert in support of his "Us" album, and is one of the finest concert films ever released. www.mysale.ca /go/sls-6807.html   (1611 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Secret World Live: Music: Peter Gabriel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) It all makes Gabriel's SECRET WORLD LIVE addup to a musical stew that is equal parts William Gibson, Carl Jung and Fela Kuti. Secret World Live stems from the Us-tour of 1993 and is in many ways a companion to 'Peter Gabriel Plays Live' released a decade previously. Where that live album (which was tinkered with by Peters Gabriel & Walsh) focused on the material up to PG4, this focuses on the material since then (the only exception being Solsbury Hill, which is far superior to the 83-take). www.amazon.co.uk /Secret-World-Live-Peter-Gabriel/dp/B000006YVQ   (1460 words)

peter gabriel: secret world live A mastersroke for the Secret World Tour was employing the services of set designer, Robert Lepage whose visual effects and concepts have a similar emotional footing to much of PG's musical output. The technolgy improvements since Plays Live are definitely audible, loops and samplers fleshing out songs like Digging in the Dirt and Secret World in a way that would have been impossible in the early eighties. Despite what are probably the whingeings of a purist, the standout feature of Secret World Live is that, despite masses of electronica required to create this sound in a live setting, the organic nature of band and music is still the overriding effect. www.solsburyhill.org /essays/secret.htm   (655 words)

DPRP CD Reviews - 2003 - Volume 25   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) When the double live CD of the Secret World Tour came out I was pleasantly surprised how much more dynamic the whole thing sounded compared to the studio versions. For instance, a track like Secret World which I found utterly boring on US really came to life when performed on stage and has since become one of my favourite Gabriel tracks. And I can live with the thought that this is a recording was touched up in the studio. www.dprp.vuurwerk.nl /reviews/200325.html   (3939 words)

Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live Movie: Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live DVD is available from Bestprices.com Interested in the beats of African music, Gabriel added a world music flavor to his arty pop music.

Blogcritics.org: Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live (DVD Review) Secret World Live was recorded from two nights shows that were performed on 16 and 17 November 1993 at Palasport Nuovo, in Modena, Italy. The visually dazzling stage production, and emotionally charged musical performances certainly live up to the hype and praise that has been bestowed on this tour, but the overall production of this DVD is a big disappointment. I don't automatically dislike the use of recorded vocal tracks, they can be effective in recreating harmony or background vocals when they are impractical to reproduce live, but not just because you want to be able to prance around the stage without having to worry about hitting all of your lead vocals. blogcritics.org /archives/2005/04/23/150608.php   (1803 words)

Peter Gabriel: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Us is obviously constructed as a coherent album with a consistent ambient world beat atmosphere, although there's ample variation in the form of the upbeat material and the countryish ballad 'Washing of the Water'. Like most live albums, Secret World Live is largely superfluous, but I’m enough of a Gabriel fan to sit through it quite happily. Some of the low key songs like ‘Washing Of The Water’ and ‘Blood Of Eden’ lose their intimacy live, but complicated pieces like ‘Come Talk To Me’ and 'Secret World’ are delivered effortlessly. fyfe.fusion.net.nz /gabriel.php   (1554 words)

Guardian | Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Whether dressing up as a monster with giant testicles in his early years with Genesis, or spinning around inside a huge translucent ball on his latest tour, Peter Gabriel has never been one to skimp on outlandish showmanship. The Secret World tour of the early 90s was actually one of his more subtle conceits, an impressionistic, multi-media meditation on sex, despair and redemption. Two stages were built for the show, representing the masculine and feminine sides of human nature. www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4684834-110760,00.html   (186 words)

PETER GABRIEL Secret World Live reviews and MP3 “Secret World” is performed more dynamic in live set than the studio version. A performance that broke the lines and became a church; Secret World created the perfect experience, with perfect players with a perfect performance that very few will dislike, the show is symbiotic, integral, a complete "whole", so, every song fits perfect. After this live performance and this tour, we see Gabriel leaving the music behind and then coming back later on. www.progarchives.com /Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=3645   (1885 words)

BBC - h2g2 - Peter Gabriel - A442810 The band performed The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway live and were met by both great critical acclaim, as well as by dissatisfied fans who just didn't quite understand it all, and especially its surreal lyrical content. According to Peter, the reason for giving all his albums the same name was very simple; he considered them all editions of the same 'newspaper'. As the name indicates it is a live album, containing a good cross-section of his work and is very good as an overall introduction to his music. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/alabaster/A442810   (1517 words)

DVD Review - Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live And, having lived with the laserdisc version, I can tell you that both the color and the contrast are dramatically improved on this new DVD version. So while you're not likely to use this disc to demo your anamorphic display, the video here is more than adequate for the material. If you're a fan of Gabriel, or live music performances in general, this show is not to be missed. www.thedigitalbits.com /reviews2/gabrielsecretworldlive.html   (890 words)

Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live is definitely of the former persuasion. All of this is quite evident on Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live, a DVD of '93 concert where Peter engaged in a level of technology that indeed made it a 'fantasy for technophiles'. The opening number is 'Come Talk To Me' which features Peter in a English red telephone booth trying to reach out to (possibly) his lover (vocalist Paula Cole who is both lovely in her fl dress and quite fine in duets here with Peter). www.greenmanreview.com /film/film_gabriel_secretworld.html   (1086 words)

Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live DVD (2003) - english review Digging In The Dirt is a fantastic live version that does full justice to the studio version as far as dynamics and drama are concerned. Peter does not only wear his microphone headset, he is also wears a head camera for the whole song and greatly enjoys filming himself and others. Growing Up Live 2002/03 is, as it were, an 8 minute trailer for the upcoming tour. www.genesis-fanclub.de /archiv/petergabriel/kritiken/sw_live_dvd_engl.htm   (1491 words)
