2.0 out of 5 stars True Peter Gabriel Fan, March 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Leaves From The Tree: A Tribute To The Music Of Peter Gabriel (Audio CD)

I thought, after reading other fans' reviews, that this would be a decent cd. Part of the awesomeness of Peter Gabriel is the passion he expresses in his voice. Adding a techno backbeat and wimpy voice singing a masterpiece, doesn't make a great tribute. The only redeeming quality of the disc is that it's still Peter Gabriel's music(kinda).

3.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Reinterpretation, July 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Leaves From The Tree: A Tribute To The Music Of Peter Gabriel (Audio CD)

Well, as with most tributes, there is a fine line between homage and horrid... this compilation seems to do a good job of not ruining what I consider to be "perfect" songs. They do, however, reinterpret the songs somewhat drastically - these are not strict cover tunes! Very electronic - very dancey... I am an avid fan of world music, rock music, and electronic music so this is my cup of tea, so to speak. It may or may not be yours :)

1.0 out of 5 stars not what I had hoped, December 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Leaves From The Tree: A Tribute To The Music Of Peter Gabriel (Audio CD)

I remember hearing a tribute to Sarah Mclaughlin once that made me shiver, it was that good. This one is so far away from PG music that it hardly even resembles it. I only really like the leaf on the cover of the case.
