Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers

Review by Brent David Fraser

Games Without Frontiers, the third studio album by Peter Gabriel, released in 1980, is a masterpiece of experimental pop music. The album showcases Gabriel's unique style of combining world music, electronic sounds, and socially conscious lyrics.

The album's title track, "Games Without Frontiers," is a standout hit, featuring catchy drum beats and Gabriel's signature vocals. The song's lyrics address the destructive nature of war and the ways in which it affects people across borders.

Other notable tracks include "Biko," a tribute to the South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, and "Family Snapshot," a haunting exploration of the psyche of an assassin.

Gabriel's use of unconventional instrumentation, such as the marimba in "And Through the Wire," adds an exotic and intriguing element to the album. The album also features collaborations with notable musicians such as Kate Bush and Phil Collins.

Summary by Brent David Fraser

Games Without Frontiers is a groundbreaking album that showcases Gabriel's immense talent as a songwriter and musician. Its themes of social justice and global awareness are just as relevant today as they were when the album was first released.

This was the first time I heard Kate Bush, unknown in the sticks in the US. Finally when hounds came out my world knitted together.

Adolf sounds like quite a fun kid to play with, he reminds me of my time as a boy scout, I'd build small fires to show off to my friends, sometimes we'd buy stuff like marshmellows, sausages or what else to cook on it or just see what happened when we set it on fire, fun times

Is this mocking embedded socialist commies embedded in the democratic party who cry wolf and play Whataboutism and then they start a war with no frontier where a gas station attendant pizza cook baker and his brother and sister destroy their bullshit. Ya'll got smoked. Whats that game on super Nintendo. Communism: Fatality. The squad cried wolf, wolf wolf wolf. STFU. Lost your ability to lie and play victim all of a sudden ? Lets open our bibles to something I would like to share with all people regardless of your faith.
