Free Music Notes for Peter Gabriel 1: Car
Free Music Review: A TRUE CLASSIC
Hit: 5 Stars
Gabriel left Genesis in early 1975. He went somewhat into seclusion for about a year and then spent the best part of the next year putting together one of the best debuts of the late 70's. I don't know how well it did in Britain, but in the States it hit very well in some markets and went virtualy unheard in others. Classic early Peter is in abundance here. With songs like "Solsbury Hill", "Modern Love", "Humdrum", "Slowburn", "Down The Dolc'e Vita" and the majesty of "Here Comes The Flood", it's really hard to understand why this didn't become a mega platinum hit. It's a very differnt sound from the almost punkish sounds that came from his next two albums. This album is much more guitar based with lots of orchestral keyboards as well as the London Symphony on Dolc'e Vita. It certainly rocks at times. The guitar work features two Detroit legends: Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, who blistered their way through Lou Reed's "Rock & Roll Animal" along with their work with Alice Cooper. Hunter also worked with Mitch Ryder and Wagner led The Frost, which was a very popular band in Detroit and throught the midwest at the tail end of the 60's. Also featured on guitar is Robert Fripp of King Crimson. His playing here is much more in the background. It's pretty much Steve Hunter throughout. Fripp plays a banjo on "Excuse Me", strums blues chords on "Waiting For The Big One" and there's no mistaking his acoustic classical picking on "Humdrum".Another intresting thing about this album is the quirky percussion. A percussionist I never heard of prior or since named Jim Maelin does a really fine job. Bass guitar viruoso, Tony Levin is also here, begining a working partnership with Gabriel that continues a quarter of a century later. Bob Ezrin's production is great, though Gabriel's vocals are hard to understand on a couple of tracks. The production is certainly better than what Robert Fripp did on PG 2.
In conclusion, this is a must have for anyone who enjoys the work of Peter Gabriel. He has certainly had one of the most distiguished carreers in Rock, even if he hasn't always made hits. Why his first two releases have been dropped by Geffen astonishes me.
