It’s safe to assume that the vast majority of my friends and readers know who Peter Gabriel is. I don’t think there’s been a more important pop singer in the last 40 or so years, and it’s really a pleasant surprise to see him put the whole of his catalog on Bandcamp.
This album is my favorite of the back catalog, as it was his first after leaving the band Genesis. Car is a collection of songs that sound like Gabriel was undergoing a creative explosion, mixing heavy rock, progressive, and you could hear a strong imprint from guest musicians Robert Fripp and Tony Levin, who would later collaborate in the 1980s edition of King Crimson.
