Turn Up the Sound - Peter Gabriel's New Blood

Rock and Roll Innovator Peter Gabriel

October 10th marks the release of "New Blood,"the new album from consummate pop-rock pioneer and innovator, Peter Gabriel.

With "New Blood,"all that's old is new again. Gabriel has once again taken an inventor's approach to music, breaking down some of his biggest hits to their barest elements, and then re-imagining and recording them with all new arrangements. The hitch is that on these tracks you will find no guitars and no rock-and-roll drum kits; instead, Gabriel performs the tracks with the lush and beautiful accompaniment of the 46-piece New Blood Orchestra.

The album will include new recordings of Solsbury Hill, In Your Eyes, Digging in the Dirt, and about ten other Peter Gabriel classics. I'm already sold on the concept, but in case you aren't sure, below is a video teaser of Red Rain.
