The long wait is over. Peter Gabriel has unveiled a new single, Panopticom, his first original material since the release of the UP album in 2002. The song will be included on his upcoming new album i/o.
The first song is based on an idea I have been working on to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe: the Panopticom. We are beginning to connect a like-minded group of people who might be able to bring this to life, to allow the world to see itself better and understand more of what’s really going on
His voice is in fine shape, long-time collaborator Tony Levin is on bass, but the biggest coup is getting Brian Eno on boards, performing bells and haunting synths. The track is released via Real World Records.
