Peter Gabriel

A double-mixed odyssey of existential art-pop. Weathered vocals meet pristine, layered production in a meditation on time, mortality, and human connection.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'headphones on, lights off' record from a master of high-fidelity soul.

A wise and expansive meditation on mortality that ultimately leans toward hope and connection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, funky release of the chorus in Road to Joy that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight.
The delicate, heartbreaking piano melody of Playing for Time that captures the weight of decades passing.
The massive choral swell at the climax of Live and Let Live that provides a cathartic, grand finale.
