Press blurb from Peter Gabriel’s old site!
18-Oct-2004 PLAY Officially Launched to the Press
The official launch of Play to the UK press took place last week at the Hospital in London’s Covent Garden.
Also in attendance where the ten lucky Lunatics and their guests who won our impromptu competition last week.
Speaking about the release Peter said “Although I believe that music can stand more repetition than video and music together, I have always been excited at the idea of putting pictures to music’. As a big film fan, some of my favourite directors have often managed to mix music and image very powerfully. I love to collaborate with inventive, visual people to put pictures to these songs. I have also been a long time fan of surround sound, which offers a great opportunity for musicians to take advantage of the medium. I love being able to listen from inside the music, rather than observing from the outside.”
The DVD will be released in the UK on Monday October 25th.
