Peter Gabriel: Scratch My Back

As the title implies, Peter Gabriel has set up a swap shop: I'll rework yours if you'll rework mine. Whether any of his chosen artists will reciprocate remains to be seen. sticks to the tried and tested covers formula of stripping back and slowing down to reveal new depths. It's a hit-and-miss affair. Bowie's Heroes is successfully transformed by brooding strings and emotive vocals but the same trick falls flat on Bon Iver's Flume ; the original already sparse and dripping with emotion. seeking reappraised obscurities or shocking makeovers will be disappointed.
