“And Through the Wire”, Peter Gabriel


“And Through the Wire” is from Peter Gabriel the third eponymous solo album by English rock musician Peter Gabriel, released in May 1980 by Charisma Records. The album has been acclaimed as Gabriel's artistic breakthrough as a solo artist and for establishing him as one of rock's most ambitious and innovative musicians. Gabriel also explored more overtly political material with two of his most famous singles, the anti-war song "Games Without Frontiers"  and the anti-apartheid protest song "Biko".  Fun fact, Paul Weller of The Jam plays guitar on this song.
This album is often referred to as Melt owing to its cover photograph by Hipgnosis.
