{"product_id":"hit","title":"Hit","description":"Amazon.com\n\nA judiciously-selected two-CD compendium of Peter Gabriel's finest moments, Hit offers a far more generous windfall than can be found on the only previous Peter Gabriel best-of selection, the 1990 Shaking the Tree. The devil, after all, is in the detail, particularly on the second disc (self-deprecatingly entitled Miss), which really traverses the whole gamut of Peter Gabriel's globally-visioned artistry. It includes recent soundtrack work (the haunting \"Cloudless\" from Long Walk Home: Music from the Rabbit-Proof Fence), material from 2002's sterling Up (\"Signal To Noise\", featuring a compelling vocal from the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and some ominous string arrangements, really does sound like a thinking man's Massive Attack) and goes right back to that fourth album when marrying the reticence of cold, synthesised new wave with insistent African percussion seemed like a good idea (it was). The first disc--including the MTV smash \"Sledgehammer\", anti-apartheid war cry \"Biko\", \"Big Time\" (interesting how the styles of Gabriel and his former group Genesis seem to converge at this time) and \"Games Without Frontiers\"--really speaks for itself, although with hindsight it seems the single-buying public-at-large had a particular taste for a certain kind of Peter Gabriel record. Universally excellent throughout, the collection is rendered even more desirable by the inclusion of three previously unreleased tracks: a live rendition of \"Downside Up\", a shorter version of \"Blood of Eden\" and \"Burn You Up, Burn You Down\", latterly included on a video game and initially earmarked for the Up album but jettisoned at the last minute. --Kevin Maidment\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000DZ3EA\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000DZ3EA.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gabriel, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
