about

'Shaking The Tree' is a career-spanning overview of Peter’s solo years (up to that point) from the first self-titled album of 1977 up to 1989s 'Passion' soundtrack, with a few curiosities and rarities to grab the ear of the completist.
The compilation’s title track, a playful duet between Peter and Senegalese superstar Youssou N’Dour, hadn’t previously appeared on a Gabriel album, just on Youssou’s 'The Lion' album. It reappears here, albeit it with a new vocal from Peter. 'Here Comes The Flood', originally from the 1977 debut, is also revisited, this time in a deeply effective (and affecting) piano-and-voice treatment.

I first saw them a year later at the Moonloop launch in London with Kava Kava. PT played on ground level with the audience of about 60. These early recordings are where it all started. Stoked :)) matt1098

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime! kilimajaro
