Number of Discs: 1

Format: Genesis singer's career. Drummer Jerry Marotta's tight global-groove templates drive the edgy guitar pastiches of Robert Fripp, David Rhodes, Paul Weller, and XTC's Dave Gregory. Yielding the enigmatic 1980 hit "Games Without Frontiers," the Steve Lillywhite-produced opus travels the dark psychic corners of its narrator with a then-profoundly futuristic sound that's no less compelling than Bowie's Scary Monsters, which was released the same year. The cover may depict Gabriel's melting face, but the album marks Gabriel's arrival as a solid solo artist. --James Rotondi

Reader Reviews
This is the culmination of everything learned about art/prog and new wave throughout history up to 1980, set to practical use. Just about everybody of consequence short of P. Hammill was put to work on this album. It is the aural equivalent of, say, the architect Gordon Bunshaft's Lever House in its own time. Maybe better than Miles Davis's "Tribute to Jack Johnson" or Emerson Lake and Palmer's "Brain Salad Surgery." Better than even "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway?" Probably.
