This "cinematic" notion is not fetched from so far away... I Remember having bought the album and watching "Gangs of New York" some time later. (click here) Scorsese used this song for the brutal street fighting scene and the effect is overwhelming. A timeless masterpiece was now accompanied by hypnotic pictures. Can't tell how I adore both artists. 
I'm going now to request it 'cause I saw it was last played more than four years ago. Why? |

| TreborG2 (Marshall, VA) | Posted: Nov 03, 2002 - 02:16 I received the new Peter Gabriel CD on Friday, and while unloading my rental truck, had it in the CD Player.. people who are shocked by THIS tune should listen to the FIRST track... WOW.. I had the cdplayer up a little because it starts quiet.. but boy.. after the first 15 or 20 seconds.. it kicks in FULL FORCE! It kind of bothered me a little that my neighbors might question what type of person moved in next door because I'm not in an area that I'd expect to find other PG fans.. (*very* somewhat rural would best qualify my new location) Every track you hear on UP is definative Peter Gabriel! I mean... its like you look at an apple, you *KNOW* its an apple.. you hear a Peter Gabriel Tune .. you KNOW its him! The only regret is that again most of the material on this album seems again to beckon back to his previous darker mooded music. Very Dramatic.. very good.. but it might be better in smaller doses for some folks... |
| Wack-A-Mole (Portland, OR) | Posted: Oct 26, 2002 - 20:33 Yes, this song is growing on me like a rash. I have to switch to another radio feed (acid jazz)everytime it is played.  |
| serene23 (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: Oct 25, 2002 - 17:42 Love this one, its not squealing, open your mind, its a different kind of singing. This one gets better with every listen |

| mperry (Columbia, MO) | Posted: Oct 25, 2002 - 12:56 This song grows on me as it goes on. Pulls you in. Interesting. |
| noelbarnes (Santa Cruz, CA) | Posted: Oct 25, 2002 - 12:55 Best track on the new Up...awesome! |
| wischmeyer (Ann Arbor, MI) | Posted: Oct 25, 2002 - 12:53 I love P.G.'s music....except this one. The squealing is too much. |
| Roto (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Oct 22, 2002 - 07:13 Wipe out the noise...please |
| ajudd (Portland, OR) | Posted: Oct 21, 2002 - 09:41 If it wasn't for RP, I wouldn't know that Peter Gabriel had a new cd ('UP'). I just bought it after getting hooked by RP. THANKS! I say play as much Gabriel as you want! |
| serene23 (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: Oct 19, 2002 - 10:22 I beleive its just right...and there is never enough Gabriel Play some Lamb Lies Down...Perhaps Carpet Crwlers or the hilarious Counting Out Time. Peter is a genius and, well, nuff said. I have to add, he has made some missteps, not everything he does is brilliant, but, if you Gabriel haters actuially sat down and listened to his albums from begining to end, perhaps add in some Gabe Genesis, you may not love him yet, but could at least appreciate him. I can appreciate just about any music, I won't just dismiss it. I don't like country or rap as a rule, but I can appreciate much of it and listen to some. Everyone wants something different, something besides top 40, thats why many listen to RP, if PG is not different, what do you want? |
| fisherking (sterling, va) | Posted: Oct 16, 2002 - 13:58 As my son once said..."That is just not right!" |
| holborne (New York, NY) | Posted: Oct 16, 2002 - 13:48 Agree with those who said that 1) this song is crap, and 2) RP plays too much Peter Gabriel. |

| TreborG2 (Marshall, VA) | Posted: Oct 09, 2002 - 03:57 Well I *can* appreciate Gabriel... It has been so long since hes put out his OWN cd instead of helping others on theirs. I'd like to hear more from this new cd. I think I'll buy it on the way home this morning. (I'm a night worker). Thanks Bill! ... making me spend more money on music I can't hear anywhere else ;)
:D |
| serene23 (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: Oct 07, 2002 - 16:30 Its a shame you can't at least appreciate this amazing song. There are songs that I hate as well, but I can always find something to appreciate in it. However, a work of art such as this song and this album at least deserves SOME praise. Listen to it closer. Give it a chance. Peters work will grow on you. |

| Leslie (Antioch (155 mi. south of RP), CA) | Posted: Sep 30, 2002 - 21:59 I love the orchestral strings and the percussion. Intense.  |
| Ragnarr (Hartlepool, England [RPT+8]) | Posted: Sep 26, 2002 - 15:37 Proof that there IS still REAL music being produced today. Well done Peter ;) |
| josephthelevite (Scottsdale, AZ) | Posted: Sep 20, 2002 - 17:03 Janie came home with a vengeance... One of PG's least original |
| ndanger666 (Hackensack, NJ) | Posted: Sep 17, 2002 - 11:37 What happened to the signal? This track is all noise. |
| loveslave (Uppsala) | Posted: Sep 16, 2002 - 09:21 Slowly I'm starting to like Peter Gabriel more and more, thanks to the exposure on RP. This song is excellent. Thanks for leading me into this. |
| thekid (Saint Louis, MO) | Posted: Sep 14, 2002 - 14:25 Good to hear from Peter Gabriel again. One of my favorite experimental artists |
| klio (Auckland) | Posted: Sep 13, 2002 - 16:11 painful |
| Leslie (Antioch (155 mi. south of RP), CA) | Posted: Sep 12, 2002 - 21:34 Wow. I will buy his new album based on this song alone. |
| Slarti (UK) | Posted: Sep 11, 2002 - 09:00 That has to be the worst thing I have ever heard on Paradise Even my internet connection failed during it! |
| Gromit (UK) | Posted: Sep 11, 2002 - 08:43 'Way too much PG on RP. |
| jeremyleo (Ottawa) | Posted: Sep 10, 2002 - 11:52 I am totally diggin' this new Peter Gabriel work. Definately reminds me of his earlier solo work. Just awesome! |
| Johray63 (Meppel) | Posted: Sep 07, 2002 - 06:19 Oppressing, but showing light at the end of the tunnel. Send some shivers down my spine. |
| dsafanda (San Rafael, CA) | Posted: Sep 05, 2002 - 16:36 Outstanding.
In spirit it reminds me of some of his early genesis work rather than the pop sound of albums such as "so". |

| kevination (Salt Lake City, UT) | Posted: Sep 04, 2002 - 08:39 I used to love Peter Gabriel but I just can't get into this song. |
