Newsweek and Us

[MJM <MJM@ZYLAB.MHS.CompuServe.COM>]

Newsweek (9/14/92) has this to say about the new Peter Gabriel release:

     The most promising of the flights from rock is "Us," the new
     album from Peter Gabriel.  Recorded at his Real World Studios,
     which he has made a mecca for international musicians, the 
     album features players from Armenia, Egypt, Kenya, Moscow,
     Senegal, and Turkey, all elaborating on Gabriel's British
     notion of Memphis soul [?!].  Not counting the soundtrack
     for Scorsese's "TLToC," "Us" is G's first album since the
     1986 megahit, "So."  In the interim, his marriage broke up,
     he took up with actress Rosanna Arquette, and *that* fell
     apart.  "Us" picks over these failed connections as well as 
     larger ones appropriate to G's global grooves.

Also mentioned is Sinead O "who weighs in with an unnec. album of
pop standards", and "Neil Young's "Harvest Moon," which he's offering
as a sequel to his 1972 classic, "Harvest."" [??!]

Oh boy.
