peak in Peter Gabriel’s recording career, notable both for its
solid set of songs and lush production. For Gabriel, who’d been
putting his music in theatrical contexts ever since his days with
Genesis, the modern sound of So (coproduced with Daniel Lanois) was
a dramatic conceit that effectively played off the organic roots of
many of its songs. The album’s big hit was «Sledgehammer,» the
English rocker’s somewhat stilted take on the Stax/Volt style of
rhythm & blues. Gabriel is much more powerful on his own
art-rock songs, such as «Red Rain,» which evokes nuclear ruin with
its cascading rush of guitars and synthesizers. «Don’t Give Up» is
perhaps Gabriel’s best ballad, with Kate Bush’s heavenly second
vocal enough to give anybody encouragement. But the song that best
exploits So’s blend of technology and soul is «In Your Eyes,» a
beguiling rhythmic tapestry in which Gabriel duets with Youssou
N’Dour. —John Milward
