Cool! I wish he would finally release more old and unreleased stuff. It would be so much more interesting than rehashing old songs with orchestra...
This is interesting and drenched in that old Gabriel style. Anyone know the story behind this one?

Hi;
This is the email that I got from petergabriel.com this morning about the track:
"Whilst the original version remains exclusive to the So Box Set, this new 'finished' version is mixed by Tchad Blake and has new overdubs from Peter and David Rhodes (guitar). It retains all the spirit and charm of the original version but is now heard through the filter of experience that is the intervening 25 years.
"When So drew to a close I didn't feel the song was delivering in the way I had hoped, so decided not to include it. When we were reviewing all the material from that time, we wanted to take a fresh look at it and get it finished. I always liked the track and very much enjoyed the playing on it, especially the energy of the drums" - Peter Gabriel "
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Peter Gabriel track released after 27 years
Comments 0 Martin Kielty at 10:42am November 6 2013 So long: Peter Gabriel in 1986
Peter Gabriel has released a track called Courage, which he started in 1986 but only recently completed to his satisfaction. Hear it below.
He began work on the song during sessions for classic album So, which included the hit singles Sledgehammer and Don’t Give Up, featuring Kate Bush.
But he admits he was never satisfied with Courage, which appeared in its unfinished form on So‘s 25th anniversary edition. Recently the ex-Genesis frontman and guitarist David Rhodes added overdubs, and producer Tchad Blake completed the “radio edit”, which is now available as a digital single.
Gabriel explains: “When So drew to a close I didn’t feel the song was delivering the way I’d hoped, so I decided not to include it.
“When we were reviewing all the material from that time we wanted to take a fresh look at it and get it finished. I always liked the track and very much enjoyed the playing on it – especially the energy of the drums.”
27 years... seems about right for his work pace.

sounds a bit sped up... Or is it I've become used to Peter slowing things down over the last few years...?
"Angels die, redemption rages
The age of man on an empty page
And chances are
This will save your soul or break it forever "
I'm basically under the assumption that Peter is semi-retired at this point and that we won't get any new music.
I'n a recent interview in a German magazine Peter said that something like:
"I want to form the ideas, that I still have, into something hearable"
and "I chose a life where music is an important part, just not the most important any more"
What a total turd of a track by Mr. Venture Capitalist. 27 years old! Too funny and par for this course.
Perhaps no Prog artist has sunk as low as Mr VC. Completely musically bankrupt and has been now for like decades
It ain't much, but it's better than sleep-inducing orchestral treatments of (great but tired) old classics ... and covers ...
That blue jacket/shirt/80s monstrosity he's wearing at the beginning of the YouTube clip is hilarious!
Just in case some of you haven't heard this before, here's Gabriel's cover of the song "In the Sun," about Princess (Lady?) Diana. I didn't actually know it was a cover till just now. I always thought it was very nice:
so I'm revisiting Gabe's early albums and getting a very different feeling about them now with more mature ears...
I'm curious as to how others rate his first 4 albums???
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

Meanwhile, he’s aiming to complete the solo album he began in 2005, to be entitled I/O. “I really need to stop doing other things and lock myself away for a while,” he reflects. “It probably hasn’t moved nearly as much as I would have liked to in the intervening time. The songs are still there, but some of them I would redo now; and there’s some new stuff as well.”
I like the track! Thanks for sharing it. There's an interesting connection between it and the previous PG albums. Like a hybrid of So and Security or even earlier. Some Shock The Monkey style in there. I find outtakes to be interesting and also the way Gabriel revisits tracks with modern overdubs (like he did on The Lamb for the Archive box sets). Sure, I'd like to hear I/O or whatever his next album is called. But, finding hidden gems and releasing them now is also fun too for a fan of his music.
Gabriel sucked in 80s
