Peter Gabriel on his third self-titled album, released in 1980

Filmed in 2002 for the remastered CD release, Peter Gabriel talks about the making of his third self-titled album, often referred to as 'Melt' on account of the iconic cover image, created by Storm Thorgerson at Hipgnosis.

Peter Gabriel is an icon when it comes to music. He is and remains one of the best musicians in the world

[NathanAbeyta]

Still my favorite album ever made.
Deep delve into the twisted psyche.
Thank you Peter Gabriel.

[lemonon]

Groundbreaking material for its time, loved it all to this day.

Can't believe it's been 40 years since this album came out. One of my favorite albums of all time.

GABRIEL HAS GIVEN RICHES TO MUSIC AND HUMAN RIGHTS...love him for being AMAZING.

Born in 92, huge fan of Car, Melt, Security, Up, Us, So... Gabriel is not just an entertainer but a boundary pushing genius with one of the greatest catalogues of music next to Beatles, Floyd, Bowie, Radiohead, etc. Thank you for everything Peter. Please tour again in CA one day

One of my all time favourite albums. Was fortunate enough to see him perform "Biko" in Montreal at an Amnesty International Gig.

[robbandmeredithwitzel]

Always impressed by Peter Gabriel! I never tire of hearing his amazing vocals. And he's collaborated with some of the best musicians out there!

[fnkymnky]

Love all you do. Amazing artist. Love and light in these tough times

[colefitzpatrick]

An all-time classic in a run of all time classic albums. Hard to believe it's been 40 years, time is a scary thing.

Each song on here is important in some way - some important to me, some important to the world, and some both. Today's rerecording of Biko means so much in that "both" category. I simply want to thank him for all he's done, politically or otherwise, for the world. Oh, and happy birthday to Peter as well!

I am a huge Peter Gabriel fan . Album 3 was a big improvement from his previous two solo albums . This was a ground breaking album in many ways, especially for Peter Gabriel himself .

I was 14 when this album came out I used to play it constantly, one a musical level it was years ahead of its time and the imagery it conjured up was extraordinary. From start to finish it still sends shivers up my spine to this day. My favourite album of all time. "I talk in pictures not in words"

This MAN has a Character and you can see it in His Music... Always from forever. Peter Gabriel 💖❤️💯

Your translation of Spirit has been a gift to me my entire life. I use to only feel it. Now I see and hear. 🌱

[plasticweapon]

his best, and bleeding edge for something recorded in 1979.

[Fygee]

This album deserves the swanky box set treatment. New stereo/5.1/Atmos mix, best quality live show from 1980 that's available, and high quality versions of the demos/cut songs that have been floating around the internet in potato quality for a long time.

[riccardomusiu]

Wow Hello Peter! Amazing album!! Pure Genius!! Thank you so much for all 🙏❤ you are the best!! Cheers 😉

[GrumpyPhotographer]

I was 10 at the time this came out, and it wasn't until shortly after "So" that I started to work my way through the back catalogue. I'm "so" glad I did.

[kurtzimmerman]

this was another great album for peter. getting together with Kate bush was simply genius in my opinion. thanks Peter! keep the music coming!

[martinfitzgerald]

Absolutely love this plus Kate, got to get up early to beat this duo. Stay healthy😉
