Inexplicably liked songs

My favourite Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush on backing vocals

Gosh, that's an excellent song, I'm saving that one. It hits VERY close to some of my favorite genres. Excellent theme, excellent beat, excellent fills, excellent feeling. Quite spooky/haunting. In fact, the feeling of the fundamental beat and fills are even quite close to the feeling of drums in some of the music I've done. To me it sounds a bit electro, downtempo and "triphoppy".

Excellent, 10/10 from me.


Edit: The simple synthriff that enters at 3:18, so darn cool and effective.
The sound of it, gosh it's good!

Thanks!

I am glad you like it.

It is almost entirely synths. Guitar the only non synth.

They recorded in 1979 when electro pop was taking off and this is what happens when a great singer and musician gets new sounds to play with.

Finding out years later Kate bush did backing vocals was the cream on the cake, when we found out every one was saying, ”Yeah of course it’s her!”

They collaborated years later on “Don’t give up.”

@pinball1970 :

I've discovered that the UK trip hop band Massive Attack did a remix of the song :
(a bit less "electro" and more moody, I'd say (I prefer the original, of course, but I think the remix is interesting))

Peter Gabriel, games without frontiers, Massive Attack remix
