US by Peter Gabriel
'US', which was released six years after the phenomenally successful 'So', was, at that time, arguably Peter’s most personal record yet, as he stepped into the confessional to explore and dissect many of the relationship issues he was then experiencing. But 'US' is far from just being bleakly introspective, featuring several songs that have gone on to be amongst the most cherished in the Gabriel songbook.
The album also continued the now well-established Gabriel motif of mixing high technology with decidedly analogue contributions from musicians from West Africa, Egypt and Armenia. Reunited with Daniel Lanois as co-producer, Peter also extends the hand of collaboration to Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, Brian Eno, Peter Hammill and Sinead O’Connor.
