Popdose: Lost in the ’80s: Peter Gabriel, “Out Out” | Popdose

    While "Out Out" sounds like a bit of a toss off, I actually like "Down To Earth" off the Wall-E soundtrack. However, I've never heard the song off the Springfield soundtrack, but you're right about his collaboration with Rick being perplexing.

    People talk about Madonna and David Bowie always changing their styles but I put Peter Gabriel #1 as the ultimate musical chameleon. Madonna does whatever is fashionable at the moment, and Bowie tries (sometimes struggles) to be shocking and controversial. Gabriel, on the other hand, seems to have a great love and respect for many styles of music, and changes his style to suit his own changing tastes.

    If anyone needs to have a good legit rarities collection, it is Peter Gabriel.

    One of my favorite Gabriel tracks is "Walk Through the Fire", which was relegated to b-side status on the "Red Rain" twelve inch.

    I think that song was originally on the Against All Odds soundtrack.

    Wow-totally correct. I had no idea. I only knew the Phil Collins song from that film.

    Turns out the soundtrack version is completely different, and it was remixed for single release (which appears to have only come out as a promo in U.S.). The remixed version is well worth seeking out.

    Wow - would love to hear that. Like I say, a tight single edit would improve it big time (har, har, punny).
