Kent Sparling Incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating peek behind the curtain. For the first time ever I see a straight line between the writing on Gabriel I and Gabriel III. It's amazing how much the production changed the direction and tone of the album.

Carsten Pieper So, this demo is what evolved into the Games Without Frontier from PG 3, released in 1980? Amazing, I wouldn't have a clue! But I have to take the master's word for it... ;-)

As always, great getting these insights into the creative progress!

Chris F. I really dig the song but is he singing in another language or just free form singing incoherently? Either way it's really quite nice listening to these renditions of what I consider classic songs. I think I was 11 or 12 and just becoming a lifelong fan when I first heard this. Favorite track: Games Without Frontiers early incarnation.
