These last few weeks, the snow has become such a natural part of the city landscape that I'm hardly noticing it anymore. Which may be why I've been living inside this excellent mix the last few days. It contains this semi-classic track, which I'm just now re-appreciating. Partly because of that charmingly dated synth percussion, and also because it manages to be icily funky without sounding being all post-punk ominous. Maybe also something to do with those flocks of birds falling from the sky of late. And the presence Peter Gabriel in guest star mode makes me smile.
And here's Gabriel's own version, a nice reshuffling of the elements. It's not as much of a curiosity as our last double-dose Gabriel collaboration, but it is a pretty cool and weird choice for a big blockbuster album closer.Peter Gabriel - This Is The Picture
