Label: Real World
Reissued 11/1/2024, Originally released 1978
Recorded in the Netherlands and New York City, Peter Gabriel's second solo album (affectionately known as Scratch due to the iconic Hipgnosis designed cover) saw Robert Fripp promoted to the role of producer. The album was released in June 1978. Fripp continued to feed Peter's growing fascination with electronics and the resulting album is denser and more experimental than his solo debut. "We recorded the second album in Holland were we started to get to know each other a lot more as musicians. At that time there were less people in the studio and we started, in this isolated environment of the Dutch studio, to interact in a different way, and I think some of the band chemistry began to form."
