New Blood, breathe new life into the old songs that Peter Gabriel did already with “Scratch my Back” on which he re-beloved and respected artists with orchestral accompaniment interpreted, finally, there is also a collection of his own songs. New Blood is not afraid of the dramaPeter Gabriel The idea came while working on the arrangement of some of his songs, because who knows him live knows that no two concert the other, the songs seem more different.Together with John Metcalfe, he set to the most impressive songs, not always the greatest hits, but definitely for Gabriel fans the coronation of his career as a songwriter. It was no orchestra added to the Rock Band, which provides, in most cases even for moderately kitschy experience, but the orchestra replaced the belt and thereby gives a whole new direction in front of the standout tracks.
The opener “The Rhythm of the Heat” is truly bombastic, it is obvious that the choice of the tracks came from the compositional potential of a new invention out, most of the tracks benefit from it, even if the originals already defined perfection. Thus, “In Your Eyes” into a euphoric, almost agitated-anxious offspring of the original tender, lifting while “Mercy Street” by the heavy mood of African percussion, and so the ode to Anne Sexton flourish lä sst.
Vocal support he has once again taken by his daughter Melanie and the singer Ane Brun, who in the Kate Bush classic “Do not give up” hardly creates, in the shadow of the grande dame of experimental pop u ; to stay over water, as with almost broken voice, it is difficult to embody the strong, loving wife of a broken man

bombastic arrangements
“New Blood” brings with it a complexity that threatens to overwhelm not unusual for an album by Peter Gabriel, unhurried afternoon coffee that is not really created, but – if we confess honestly – that he did not before. Instead, he offers almost decadent arrangements that never drift into the dangerous trash that threatens to succumb to such an orchestra in the hands of a pop star, but rather dramatic draw circles to always vote as a saving Gabriel anchor Get back Previous to return.
New blood, new life, almost invariably succeed in this project by Peter Gabriel, only the last, probably the most popular track, “Solsbury Hill” is missing – despite the wonderfully light background – the grit and determination of the original, it is forgiven, fü ,. r the last, beautiful, opulent, generous and warm 80 minutes
