As the drawing card of Genesis in the early '70s, Peter Gabriel helped move progressive rock candy to new levels of theatricality. In his solo career, Gabriel was no less ambitious, merely he was more subtle in his methods. With his first eponymous solo album in 1977, he began exploring darker, more than cerebral soil, incorporating avant-garde, electronic, and worldbeat influences into his music. The track record, as well as its deuce similarly highborn successors, accomplished Gabriel as a critically acclaimed cult artist, and with 1982's Security, he began to go into the mainstream; "Seismic disturbance the Monkey" became his first Top 40 strike, pavement the way for his multi-platinum breakthrough So in 1986. Accompanied by a series of groundbreaking videos and the act peerless single "Maul," So became a multi-platinum hit, and Gabriel became an external star. Instead of capitalizing on his sudden success, he began to explore other interests, including transcription soundtracks and operative his society Real World. By the prison term he returned to pop with 1992's Us, his mass audience had washy aside and he spent the residuum of the '90s working on multimedia system projects for Real World.


Following his departure from Genesis in 1976, Peter Gabriel began work on the first of trey back-to-back eponymously highborn albums; each record was named Saint Peter the Apostle Gabriel, he aforesaid, as if they were editions of the same magazine. In 1977, his first solo album appeared and became a soften success due to the single "Solsbury Hill." Another self-titled track record followed in 1978, so far received relatively weaker reviews. Gabriel's third eponymous album was his artistic breakthrough. Produced by Steve Lillywhite and released in 1980, the album established Gabriel as one of rock's most ambitious, innovational musicians, as good as one of its well-nigh political -- "Biko," a vocal around a murdered antiapartheid militant, became one of the biggest protest anthems of the '80s. "Games Without Frontiers," with its eery chorus, intimately reached the Top 40.


In 1982, Gabriel released Surety, which was an even bigger success, earning positive reviews and sledding gold on the forcefulness of the startling video for "Shock the Monkey." Just as his solo career was pickings off, Gabriel participated in a round Genesis reunification in order to finance his WOMAD -- World of Music, Arts and Dance -- Festival. WOMAD was intentional to bring versatile world musics and impost to a Western consultation, and it presently sour into an yearly event, and a live forked album was released that yr to record the outcome. As Gabriel worked on his fifth album, he contributed the soundtrack to Alan Parker's 1984 plastic film Birdy. His score was highly praised and it north Korean won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes that year. After innovation Real World, Inc. -- a tummy devoted to development bridges betwixt engineering science and multi-ethnic humanistic discipline -- in 1985, he realised his twenty percent album, So.


Released in 1986, So became Gabriel's commercial breakthrough, largely because his Stax court "Sledge" was blessed with an innovative video that combined stop-action vitality with live military action. So climbed to figure 2 as "Maul" make number one, with "Braggy Time" -- featuring a video very alike to "Maul" -- stretch the Top Ten and "In Your Eyes" hitting the Top 30. As So was horseback riding high on the American and British charts, Gabriel co-headlined the showtime benefit tour for Amnesty International in 1986 with Sting and U2. Another Amnesty International Tour followed in 1988, and the following year, Gabriel released Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ, a solicitation of instrumentals used in Martin Scorsese's cinema. Passion was the furthest Gabriel delved into worldbeat, and the album was widely acclaimed, victorious the Grammy Award in 1989 for Best New Age Performance. In 1990, he released the hits compilation Shaking the Tree.


Gabriel laboured long on the pop music follow-up to So, finally releasing Us in the saltation of 1992. During the recording of Us, Gabriel went through a number of personal upheavals, including a afflictive disunite, and those tensions manifested themselves on Us, a much darker record than So. For diverse reasons, non the least of which was the fact that it was released half a dozen years after its forerunner, Us wasn't as commercially successful as So, disdain cocksure reviews. Only one single, the "Maul" knockoff "Steam," reached the Top 40, and the album stalled at pt gross sales. In 1993, Gabriel embarked on the near ambitious WOMAD duty tour to appointment, touring the United States with a roll including Crowded House, James, and Sinéad O'Connor, with whom he had an on-off romantic relationship. The following year, he released the double-disc Mysterious World Live, which went amber. Later in 1994, he released the CD-ROM Xplora, one of many projects he developed with Real World. For the next 3 age, Gabriel concentrated on developing more multimedia projects for the company.
