This afternoon’s listening …
This morning’s listening: four quarters of the same musical tapestry.
As each year passes I seem to treasure these albums a little more.
Recorded within a mere 5 year period between ‘71-‘76 (during which time the band managed to squeeze in a further little known double album).

The ages of the band during the recording (Aug/Sept 1971) were …
- Banks, Gabriel, Hackett - 21
- Collins, Rutherford - 20
Think about that for a second.
A quite extraordinary achievement.

54 years old today and for me, the best of the Gabriel era (controversial, I know)

And my favourite track of the year has to be this …
From an album I never thought DT would record … Mike Portnoy back where he belongs (sadly at the expense of Transatlantic, NMB, Flying Colors, The Winery Dogs, etc).
That first night at the O2 …👌

Just departing Jamaica listening to this excellent 2025 album by Italian composer and singer-songwriter Marco Mattei, featuring Peter Gabriel alumni Tony Levin and Jerry Marotta throughout.
Beautiful chilled out feel throughout, not unlike some of PG’s later recordings.

Spent the day at sea today.
Cuba no more than 10 miles away in the background, which I hope to visit one day.
Next stop Jamaica.

Today’s tip …
The newly released and not so difficult 3rd album by Swedish multi-instrumentalist Jonas Lindberg and his band The Other Side.
Top quality melodic prog, top and tailed by two epics.
If you like Karmakanic’s Transmutation then this one’s almost certainly for you.
