Games Without Frontiers: When Peter Gabriel Went Political I New British Canon
Peter Gabriel has inhabited many roles. From a costumed prog poet in Genesis to a conservationist balladeer on the Wall-E soundtrack. However his run of self-titled albums are where he found himself as a musician.
On his third album in 1980, he took all the post punk, synth pop and world music happening around him and blended it into his twitchy lopsided art rock. Gabriel spun tales of mental health disarray and anthems of dissatisfaction, and, with help from a French game show and Kate Bush, whistled his way to one of his biggest hits. This is New British Canon and This is the Story of “Games Without Frontiers.”
