PETER GABRIEL Peter Gabriel III (Half-Speed Master Edition 2026 UK/EU 10-track LP the first vinyl reissue since 2002. Originally released in 1980 and known as Melt for its Hipgnosis cover art Peter Gabriels third solo album iswhere one of the most influential drum sounds in modern music was accidentally invented. Gabriel banned cymbals entirely and had Phil Collins play stripped-back toms-only beats. During one session engineer Hugh Padghams talkback mic got left open by mistake catching Collinss drums through the studios compressors and gates and the room exploded with a huge cannon-blast snare sound nobody had heard before: gated reverb the effect that would go on to define 80s pop and rock production from Prince to Bruce Springsteen. That sound opens the album on Intruder and runs straight through it. The record also delivered Gabriels first UK Top 5 hit in Games Without Frontiers featuring Kate Bush singing Jeux sans frontières and closes on Biko his first outright political song and still one of the most powerful protest songs ever recorded.
