If Peter Gabriel and the amazing attention to detail in this recording
aren't enough there are fantastic contributions as diverse as Nusrat
Fateh Ali Khan and The Blind Boys of Alabama on vocals, as well as
Peter Green (formally of Fleetwood Mac) on guitar and Danny
Thompson on double bass (Talk Talk, David Sylvian, Tim Buckley and
Nick Drake to name a few). Up not only fills several years but spans
several continents. A wonderful, very personal album.
“The album is a ‘bookends’ record, looking more at the beginning and
the end of life than the middle”. This is a personal album, reflecting on
the life that grows out of death and recognizing patterns and forces at
work above and beneath our normal focus." Peter Gabriel
