Biggest comeback?

   Although he never went away as such, Robert Wyatt managed produce what I gather is an amazing album, Cuckooland.

VdGG also did it twice and also on the both of their comebacks they've changed their sound.

If you consider the question only in reference to an original lineup, then VdGG also doesn't falter.

Individual band member's albums don't really come into the question here, because we are referring to the band.

	How about the origional Peter Gabriel Band? Well, Tony Levin, Larry Fast and Jerry Marotta are together again as the Tony Levin Band. They just released a new CD called "Resonator" and it is super! They are also going out on tour! Dates can be found at www.tonylevin.com which by the way is quite a great website!

	Maybe Camel's "Dust and Dreams". It's not that the 80s albums were worthless (I like most of 'Stationary Traveller'), but this one was a return to form not being pushed by the record labels to get a hit single. And things just kept on going better from this point on. ... or maybe I'm wrong

	The music critic at my paper gave me an advance copy of 'Resonator' and I've only heard it once through. So forgive the sketchy review. No liner notes. It's a very vocal/song cd. 2 instrumentals. The vocals sound kinda quirky to me (who is it-- I think Tony sings at least one, but I don't recognize the voices). A remake of his song 'Utopia' from 'Waters of Eden', the gorgeous melody coming at the end. Very good playing throughout, of course. But the vocals make it seem very different to me than his other releases. The style of the songs makes it sound like they are a bar band made of really accomplished players, if you can get what I'm trying to say. Maybe like 'The Bears'.
