Big Sky - Pete Bardens

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Dated, boring, commercial collection

...-breaking at the time, and there were some big club smashes. Sadly few of these tracks have made it onto this compilation - the only notable exception being Princess - Say I'm Your Number One. A few of the more successful artists - like Kylie and Jason - have got two or three tracks on the album. The criteria for appearing on this album are not 100% clear to me - I was unaware that Pete Waterman had any involvement with 2 Unlimited, apart from being signed to his record label, but No Limits has made it onto the album, as has Opus Three - Fine Day. I was also surprised to see Musical Youth and Nik Kershaw - not sure how they are linked to ol' Pete.

The lyrics add to the greatness of the song 'My friends would think I was a nut, turning water into wine, open doors would soon be shut' a nice lyrical snippet of protest from Pete towards his departure from Genesis, stunning song. 3) Modern Love - What a treat two back to back Gabriel masterpieces 'Hey, i'm feeling so dirty, your looking so clean' man what a jumpstarter Pete is really getting the party started. You can really imagine this as a crowd pleaser at live shows it practically defines a live song. The guitars and the drums drive the song on and boy does Gabriel manage to go mad in style and create a true rock classic with his charm and enigma, modern love give me strength! 4) Excuse Me - A barbershop song, a very unusual bit of experimentalisation by Gabriel, his love for soul music really drives...
