Releases information

Delta 3 developed from themes written during soundchecks on the August to December 1978 Peter Gabriel Tour. Delta Two themes are remnants of 1974?s electronic Realizations For Rock Orchestra writing sessions. Delta Four is a surviving digital synthesizer sequencer program experiment combined with some advanced tape loops. Delta One is an experiment fusing the pop and electronic vocabularies of turn of the decade composition.

Those keyboards often sound a bit like Tony Banks' ones on his solo albums, but they are less melodic and quite colder here. One track particularly has retained my attention: "Delta four": You hear a violin-like keyboard solo that is barely bearable, which gives you a pretty scary feeling, especially if you turn up the volume! After this infernal cold sound, comes a smooth, subtle & floating background keyboard that sounds so good, because of this previous hysterical pattern: just experience it!! Let's say Larry Fast here is quite less symphonic than on all the previous records: he often experiments rather curious & fatty futuristic sound textures.

Rating: 3.5 stars
