Review of Classic Albums: Peter Gabriel - So (2012) by Grant S — 19 Apr 2018
Great documentary on a superb album.
The making of Peter Gabriel's 1986 album "So". Includes interviews with Gabriel, producer Daniel Lanois, musicians/artists who contributed to the album (Tony Levin, Manu Katche, Laurie Anderson, among others) and music critics. The album took Gabriel from an artist with a select audience to mainstream success.
Great documentary on a superb album. The album is brilliant and deserves its "classic album" tag. Musically perfect with lyrics that are deep and socially aware.
The documentary is well made: researched thoroughly with well-chosen interviewees. Almost every song on the album is covered in detail. Interviews are all relevant and incredibly edifying. Not your usual empty cheerleading interviews but highly interesting and informative.
The only things missing are coverage of Big Time and an interview with Kate Bush.
