Free Music Notes for Ovo: Millennium Show
Free Music Review: Peter Gabriel is BACK!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Fans of Peter Gabriel rejoice! After eight long years, Peter Gabriel finally returns with "OVO," his first release of brand-new music since 1992's "Us." It's a soundtrack album to an acrobatic, Cirque De Soleil-type show exclusively playing at the Millennium Dome in England that Peter Gabriel did the music for. This album is Gabriel's music from the show, featuring not only classic lead vocals from Peter on certain tracks, but excellent guest vocal turns from the likes of Richie Havens, Elizabeth Fraser & Paul Buchanan. And let me tell you, Peter Gabriel fans, this album is *sensational*. Peter runs the whole musical gamut here, from gorgeous ballads (Father, Son) to soaring rock (The Tower That Ate People), from spine-tingling tunes (Downside-Up) to memorable instrumentals (The Nest That Sailed The Sky). Peter even throws in some amazing techno elements, some knockout world music beats, and even a slice of giddy celtic music! "OVO" is simply astonishing from beginning to end. This CD version of "OVO" differs from the Limited Edition version in that the artwork is totally different (but no less eye-popping), there's no bonus illustrated book or bonus CD-ROM disc, and one instrumental track from the Limited Edition version, "The Tree That Went Up," has been replaced by a rap song called "The Story Of OVO," rapped by Neneh Cherry & Roscoe, with excellent music and backing vocals by Gabriel. Otherwise, this version of the album is exactly identical to the Limited Edition version in it's content, and it's no less powerful, either.I think the best compliment that I can pay Peter Gabriel's "OVO" is that, although it's a soundtrack album with guest vocalists, it doesn't *feel* like a soundtrack album. It has the genuine feel of a proper solo release from Gabriel, and, after starving for eight long years for new music from this great genius, "OVO" is simply a godsend. It's only available on import right now for us North American fans, but I guarantee you, it's worth every single penny! So, buy this album, LOVE this album, and tell your friends about it. This could become the biggest-selling import album ever, and why not? A brilliant, sensational musical work from start to finish, "OVO" is a great cause for celebration. Peter Gabriel is BACK---spread the word!
Ovo: Millennium Show Poster
Standard version of the artist's soundtrack to the show he created for the Millenium Dome in London. Special guest app earances by Neneh Cherry, Richie Havens, Paul Buchanan and more. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.Ovo is an ambitious concept piece that attempts to address the stages of human evolution through a family saga. That it fails--at least in this setting--is not all that surprising. Never one to be intimidated by a concept or a challenge (see Genesis in their early years and The Last Temptation of Christ), Gabriel may have been the ideal choice for a multicultural, technology-focused show, and his general instincts seem sound. But even Cirque du Soleil, whose work this most resembles, never had to contend with the blending of Gaelic folk and tribal overtones, techno-futuristic soundscapes and gentle ballads, or a sludgy reworking of "Digging in the Dirt" complete with a rapped story line. Though there are some fine, interesting moments here, they're too often lost in the shuffle. -Randy Silver
