Giveaway: Peter Gabriel’s selected discography

By Ben Kaye on September 28th, 2011 in Giveaways, News

There’s this guy named Peter Gabriel. He’s been around for a while. Started this little band called Genesis, went on to have a massive solo career. You might’ve heard of him. You can pick up his upcoming album New Blood, a re-imagining of some of his biggest hits with a 46-piece orchestra, when EMI releases it on October 11th (artwork above). Or you can just win it, along with every thing else Gabriel’s ever recorded, right now.

In one of the coolest contests we’ve ever run here at Consequence of Sound, we’re giving one lucky reader the majority of Peter Gabriel’s solo catalog, including the yet-to-be-released New Blood. The winner gets it all: Peter Gabriel 1-4, Plays Live, Birdy, Us, So (one of our greatest albums ever), Passion, Us, Up, and Scratch My Back, all on CD.

For your chance to make your collection complete, you’ve only got to do a few things:

    liberty she pirouette,when i think that I am free

    I saw Peter and the orchestra’s last performance this summer at summerfest.  Though not the best venue for the project, Peter’s distinct, broad voice and gratefulness cut through the mild night and the Hall and Oates.  

    I know something about opening windows and doors.
    I know how to move quietly, creep across creaky wooden floors.
    I know where to find precious things in all your cupboards and drawers.
    -Intruder
    First song I heard from this perspective. It’s still one of the eeriest, most original songs I have ever heard.

    Saw him perform with the blood orchestra in Chicago this year.   Took me over 20 years to see him perform.  Loved his songs.  Loved the show.

    I like to feel the suspense when I’m certain you know I am thereI like you lying awake, your baited breath charging the airI like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear

    “Intruder”

    So I went from day to day 
    Tho’ my life was in a rut 
    “Till I thought of what I’d say 
    Which connection I should cut 
    I was feeling part of the scenery 
    I walked right out of the machinery 
    My heart going boom boom boom 
    “Hey” he said “Grab your things 
    I’ve come to take you home.” 

    As a young man leaving fundamentalism and consequently, many friends and family behind, these lyrics meant a tremendous amount to me at the time.

    Stalactites, stalagmites
    Shut me in, lock me tight.
    Lips are dry, throat is dry.
    Feel like burning, stomach churning,
    I’m dressed up in a white costume
    Padding out leftover room.
    Body stretching, feel the wretching
    In the cage
    Get me out of the cage!

    There are always hidden silencesWaiting behind the chairThey come out when the coast is clearThey eat anything that movesI go shaky at the kneesLights go out, stars come downLike a swarm of bees
