Peter Gabriel - (2000) Ovo

More a showpiece album than a soundtrack. Ovo surprised me on release only in that it is so good. Great contributions from Elisabeth Fraser and Richie Havens ( check out also ' Please Don't Touch' by Steve Hackett). Shankar plays some mean violin too.Highlights are ' Low light', ' Make Tomorrow' ' Downside-Up' and last but not least ' The nest that sailed the sky' Worth having for sure.


Studio Album, released in 2000
