Peter Gabriel looks back on the making of Birdy

In this short film, from 2002, Peter Gabriel discusses recording the album 'Birdy', which is the music he created for the Alan Parker movie of the same name. The album features strong references to Peter's third and fourth solo albums and was also the first time Peter worked alongside Daniel Lanois, who went on to co-produce the albums 'So' and 'Us'.

'Birdy' is available once more on vinyl with the album being half speed remastered and cut to lacquers at 45rpm across two heavyweight LPs and comes in a gatefold sleeve with a hi-res download code.

Birdy have marked my youth.
And, after 30 years I still listen the album : a masterpiece only matched by the OST of The Last Temptation of Christ.

Such a great movie! The music really brings the movie to life. This is my favorite soundtrack and it has endured the test of time. It is timeless.

All these years later, this is still one of my favourite background albums to put on while working on creative things, or to crank and zone out to. Birdy is also still one of my top 20 favourite films.

I read the book before buying the album and then watched the film and that's the order that i rate it in.

sit back or lean back - and play this album LOUD. . .

The Birdy soundtrack sounds like something from Metroid Prime.
