音乐鬼才Peter Gabriel定于10月10日发行继去年的翻唱专辑《Scratch My Back》之后的最新作品《New Blood》，这张唱片中的全部12首歌都是对Gabriel早前经典曲目的再造——吉他、贝司和鼓退居其次，而Gabriel组建的46人New Blood Orchestra则来到前台。此外，Gabriel这次的合作伙伴还包括音乐人John Metcalfe和Ben Foster。



彼得盖布瑞尔（Peter Gabriel），不但是乐团主唱，而键盘、敲击乐、直笛、以及合成乐器都是拿手绝活。 Peter Gabriel是1970年代红极一时的摇滚乐团「创世纪」（Genesis）的团长，鼎鼎大名的摇滚乐巨星Phil Collins则是乐团的鼓手。就摇滚乐的领域而言，创世纪乐团让所谓的「激进摇滚乐」（Progressive Rock）成为更华丽、更具戏剧性的乐风。



在当代的摇滚音乐史上，Peter Gabriel可说是一位极为特立独行的艺人，他从早期的非主流前卫曲风，发展到後来成为一位流行音乐巨星，最後更成为一位世界音乐的爱好者，其创作历程的变迁与发展可说是精彩纷呈



New Blood is the forthcoming ninth studio album by British rock musician Peter Gabriel, to be released on October 10, 2011. The album will consist of orchestral re-recordings of various tracks from throughout Gabriel's career. The album is going to be a continuation of the project Gabriel began with his previous album Scratch My Back, which was orchestral covers of other artists' songs. The idea for the album came about after work was done re-arranging Gabriel's songs for orchestra for the second half of shows during the New Blood Tour (2010.) For this album Gabriel will continue to work with arranger John Metcalfe. The album was announced by Gabriel himself during the October update of his Full Moon Club and was preceded by the release of a new orchestral version of the song "Washing Of The Water" along with a cover of The Magnetic Fields song "The Book Of Love" as a double a-side single.
