Free Music Notes for Up

Free Music Review: Warm when not calculatedly cold
Hit: 3 Stars

Up feels like much of Gabriel's esteemed but overshadowed solo career,itself a study in ex-frontman artistic integrity. Here the artist provides another satisfactory album of dark, layered pop with plenty of shimmering moments, and a few wholly organic pleasures, though rarely strikes solid gold primarily due to an over-labored vibe churning along to dull electronic flourishes I can only guess represents Gabriel's slick but untrue continued relevance as hipster-godfather.

Up Poster

That Up exists at all is faintly miraculous. Over the past seven years, with guests including Youssou N'Dour, Peter Green, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Peter Gabriel has held recording sessions in Senegal, Atlanta, Singapore, the French Alps, and on a boat on the Amazon River, as well as at his own RealWorld studios. Having written and prepared over 150 songs, he's managed to cut this huge body of work down to just 10 tracks. There's a remarkable consistency and contemporary feel here that springs from a thoughtful layering process, with Gabriel combining tribal rhythms with complex backing vocals, samples, rock guitar, piano and--crucially--electronic effects. Indeed, the opener, "Darkness," begins with an aggressiveness that recalls the Prodigy, before hints of vulnerability and fear surface. Elsewhere, there is the dreamy "The Drop" and the orchestral heights of "Signal to Noise." Throughout, Gabriel uses water metaphors to put forward his positivist message. And it's all brilliant, sophisticated, and soulful. The man's a marvel and Up is a masterwork. --Dominic Wills
