PLAYING FOR TIME

Title stamped GABRIEL, I immediately think of pieces of film such as 'Long Walk Home' for this line of piano on which Peter sings as before. it's pure, his voice can still rise high, a hunting horn and I'm waiting for the chorus of the title that doesn't come; it doesn't matter the bucolic, military orchestra does its job easily and magnificently before the starting break, a solemn rise where the sound tries to gain time to stop getting old.

So if it weren't for the Archangel, we would find it good or marvellous, a hymn of a war campaign, of proven retirement or a melancholic song with a smattering of violin flights? A bit of 'Here Comes The Flood', a bit of 'Family Snapshot', a lot of love from Peter GABRIEL who still wants to speak to us by composing his hymn to life.

The problem of a single is to captivate to try to listen to even more of it; the problem of a single is also to capture the atmosphere of an album through a single title, something impossible unless you put emotion on each title; here the emotion is there with a big E.
