PETER GABRIEL 2 [AKA: SCRATCH]

A follow-up album that did not change a lot musically from previous album. However, there was a sign of departure with songs like "On The Air", "DIY". My favorite tracks include: "Mother of Violence" (great voice and catchy acoustic guitar), "White Shadow" (ambient and rocking style), "On The Air" (driving rhythm section), "Home Sweet Home" (mellow). "Exposure" is actually a good track but it tends to flow with similar style throughout the song - a bit boring at the end.

Through this album I knew Jerry Marota (drums) for the first time. Jerry has collaborated with some musicians during punk / new wave era in the 80s with artist like Johny Warman. It's a good album, worth collecting. I have seen the remastered edition of this CD. GW, Indonesia.
