	Peter Gabriel - Up (Album Review)
		Prior to its release, Peter Gabriel’s Up was probably the most anticipated album of the year.
		On Up — an album that took ten years to make — he still does manage to draw upon a universe of sounds, folding them one over the other to form dense layers of music, and most of the tunes don’t retread his Genesis days as much as they overhaul them.
		Gabriel’s latest batch of songs merely continues the discussion, albeit within musical arrangements as infinitely complex as the meaning of it all.

	George Graham Reviews Peter Gabriel's "Up"
		Gabriel, of course, has been long been an innovative performer, first as a member of Genesis, which he co-founded in 1969 while still in school, then as a solo performer who brought a degree of theatricality into his performances, at a time when rock was expanding its horizons in such directions.
		Peter Gabriel remains a popular commercial artist, despite his sonic experimentation, and it is not a disappointment to hear a song that might have some chance for chart success.
		Gabriel has become a kind of integrating artist, borrowing some of the sonic distortions of the alternative rockers, and using them to great effect to create evolving sonic atmospheres that become an integral part of the music, rather than just being used to be loud and annoying, or trendy.

	Old men take longer - Salon
		Gabriel is a distractible perfectionist, which amounts to a kind of purgatory for anyone who lives a public life, let alone a creative one.
		Most of the songs on "Up" are in the six-to-seven-minute range, and they luxuriate in that extra time, shirking the confines of radio friendliness, methodically unfurling their hooks and hang-ups, false starts and stops, shifting grooves and shimmering open spaces.
		Gabriel's greatest achievement is that his technical sophistication actually encourages a fully organic and man-made sound.

	Richard Chappell: Recording Peter Gabriel's Up
		Gabriel: "That is something that emerged from the early sessions and there was this sort of Latiny feeling to the groove, but that's pretty much buried now.
		Gabriel's love of guitar stomp pedals and analogue sonic treatments are other examples of old-tech -- as is, arguably, his most recent talent, playing the guitar.
		Peter would be in here recording things with me for the same song that Tchad was mixing, and we'd walk towards the main building to add these things to the mix.

	Up (Peter Gabriel album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its name was Up from the start, though at one point it was considered to be called I/O.
		In the months preceding the album's release, video clips of Gabriel talking about the songs as well as short demos of each song were released at the coming of every full moon on Gabriel's official website.
		The song "Signal to Noise" was a challenge for Gabriel because the guest vocalist for the track, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, died.

	Peter Gabriel - Up
		The first ‘proper’ Peter Gabriel album since Us in 1992, was conceived in the Spring on 1995 in a chalet in the French Alps, where Gabriel and engineer Richard Chappell had set up a mobile recording studio.
		Despite it’s title, “Up” is largely a moody, and emotional album, with several of the tracks dealing with death and afterlife.
		The album’s lack of commercial success may have been due to a combination of poor promotion from the record label and Gabriel’s own absence from the pop arena for several years.

		The second solo album was a tad disappointing but the third from 1980 yielded his second classic as a solo artist.
		Peter Gabriel has explicitly denied that this is about the shooting of John F. Kennedy.
		Up to then, he had been extremely successful from an artistic point of view, but commercial success was lagging behind a bit - a stark contrast to the fate of his ex-comrades of Genesis!

	PETER GABRIEL :: UP PREVIEW :: PETER GABRIEL MEDIA DOWNLOADS AT CRUDMUSIC.COM
		It's 20 years since Gabriel released the political stick of dynamite that was 'Biko' - a release that was arguably the porthole through which apartheid jumped into the popular consciousness in the UK and one that may have eventually sound tracked the release of Mandela few years later.
		Gabriel describes the album as 'more vertical than horizontal' a 'bookend record' looking at the beginning and the end of a life as opposed to the middle, reflecting on the life that grows out of death and recognizing patterns and forces at work above and beneath our normal focus.
		The house in woods, dark shapes beneath the water, the creature in the closet, UP lays bare the fearful and treacherous imagination of childhood that both stirs and repels the monster within.

		Peter Gabriel has produced the album of the year, a work few other people in the world could manage in the scope of the arrangements, just as you think you have reached the highlight of the album along comes another track and another moment you think "now that's genius".
		Peter is back to his best, it may be 10 years since his last album but it's been worth the wait.
		Up is his masterwork and crowning achievement of years of endeavour, exploration, distilling ideas, synthesising subtle layers of sounds, and raw self-expression.

		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.
		To call Peter Gabriel's third self-titled project a landmark album is a huge understatement, not only in terms of his career, but also in terms of modern pop music.
		Peter Gabriel's sixth studio album as a solo artist is among his finest efforts to date.

	Ground and Sky review - Peter Gabriel - Up
		Peter Gabriel is not a man to rush things.
		Peter Gabriel has taken some of the best elements of his previous albums and formed them into a cohesive whole.
		Following suit lyrically, Gabriel's words on this one are as compelling as ever, a cloud of angst (in the best sense of the word) not felt for a long time in his solo work.

	Up by Peter Gabriel CD
		In the end, UP is the sound of a mature artist pursuing the perfection of his craft, giving little thought to anything but the realization of his distinctive artistic vision.
		UP is 10 songs which, if you let them, will work their way into your blood and bones.
		Gabriel's live show recently, and apart from it being easily one of the top three concerts I have ever seen (I'm beginning to think the best really), it gave me a glimpse into some of his ideas and expressions within these 10 songs.

	MSJ - Peter Gabriel-Up
		Peter Gabriel has always been one to have a keen lookout on where music is, or where it's going.
		The overall feeling of this album is one of subdued tones with occasional jagged edges, and in the end, it's another typical Gabriel album - thoughtful, exploratory, experimental, and indicative of a musician who is still searching for new dimensions.
		Again Gabriel throws in a dash of hip-hop rhythm, and there are some humorous moments, such as Tony Levin's bass belches as Gabriel runs through a list of show titles, and a trumpet throws in a little sass as well.

		With the exception of a semi biographical "Growing Up," and the demonically satirical pop number "The Barry Williams Show," the sound of "Up" rarely veers away from the sounds of men in mid-life agony.
		Gabriels musical talents have been broadened to samples and reverse strings and other pieces of technology and it actually helps keep the music interesting.
		Gabriel has always had a knack for releasing not just albums but full-fledged Events, and this is no exception.

	Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live (1994)
		Back when Peter Gabriel released US in 1992, it seemed like an eternity since his prior album; he’d put out the smash hit So in 1986.
		Gabriel aged substantially between 1993 and 2002, and it took me a few minutes to readjust to the svelte and handsome Gabriel after watching the tubby and bald one of current days.
		Peter Gabriel has always been a lively and vivid performer, and Secret World Live shows him in good form.

		But at the end of the long wait the result is a classic Peter Gabriel album, full of literate but soulful songs, musically eclectic and rhythmically sophisticated and featuring a range of guests who bring their own unique contributions to the record.
		Up is Peter Gabriel's 12th solo album in a solo career always marked by a spirit of adventure and innovation which spans more than a quarter of a century since he left Genesis in 1975.
		For this album he commissioned eleven artists to interpret the album's songs and the works of art were subsequently shown at the British Contemporary Art exhibition in 1993.

	Peter Gabriel - Up - Rock CD Review at TheCelebrityCafe.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Peter Gabriel - Up - Peter Gabriel is back again from another prolonged hiatus (10 years) from the studio with Up, an evolutionary follow-up to previous effort Us.
		Gabriel lets the reality of it all parody itself ("I love my daughters rapist, my life's gone down the pan"), making a pop song out of the depravity of the moral lower class.
		As the song winds up (essentially winding up the album, save fro the lullabyish "The drop"), pounding drums laying the frame fro the piercing yet esoteric strings, you know you haven't heard anything this before, and it's a breath of musically fresh air that is as irreplaceable as it is essential.

	Looking for a few good ideas - Peter Gabriel, Growing Up Tour, Phoenix AZ
		Gabriel had a keyboard and laptop set up on a chrome-and-white custom table thingy on one side of the stage, and Rachel Z was similarly set up opposite him, with a couple of keyboards (Kurzweil K2500 and Korg Triton I believe) and a large LCD monitor at her feet.
		Gabriel has this TV camera on top of the lowered lighting rig that he used to film the audience and throws the picture up on a couple of big screens on either side of the stage.
		It is disconnected from the suspension rig; Peter Gabriel climbs inside, and continues singing the song while running around the stage in the ball like a hamster, chasing the other members of the band around.

		The determining factor in coming up with the title of Gabriel's ninth proper album (not including 1989's Passion, his soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese film "The Last Temptation of Christ") was left to his fans.
		Gabriel is planning a video to accompany the song, though he kept ideas for the treatment under his hat.
		Obviously, Gabriel's is a condemning view of the current TV craze, so you won't be seeing him on "Dog Eat Dog" anytime soon, but that doesn't mean he's not watching.

	Peter Gabriel - album - UP Reviewed
		Peter has spent most of his time recording and collecting a mass of songs, ideas and Studio cuttings then embarked on the mammoth task of painstakingly patching all these "bits" together in the attempt to achieve a coherent recording.
		Gabriel is well known for not taking life very lightly and this album is no different from any of his other solo efforts or previous albums with 70's prog-rock mammoths Genesis regarding the weight of subject matter.
		There is no doubt that Gabriel remains one of the most restless creative and prolific artists of our time, and this album is proof that the man is a genius but maybe not the most accessible.
