since I see my fellow PG fan eskimofriend has been around anyone heard it yet? I've seen mixed reviews. It's an album of covers called "Scratch My Back", and apparently there will be a companion release with the writers of the songs on it covering his songs, called something like I'll Scratch Yours.

Hmmmm I just read that it is entirely voice and orchestration- no guitars and NO DRUMS!!! One of my favorite things about Gabriel is the very percussive nature of his music, and he's a drummer after all, it's always been integral to his music. Not sure about that. I think it might be hard for me to LOVE him without drums.

Sheila, the LA Times said the same thing - it's like you wrote their review!
I was afraid it sounded a little dull, too. I suppose I can toddle over to Amazon and listen to some clips, but I'm not terribly optimistic.
