The Laurie Anderson version of Excellent Birds just confirms what I love about the version on So: such an awesome bass workout. Bill Laswell sitting in for Tony Levin, I think, and so many great robo-funk fills.

Nope -- Laswell's on both, playing very simply; Levin overdubs the fancy pants playing you like so much on So.

BTW, there's a South Bank show from 1982 that's kind of like the making of Peter Gabriel 4 - it's on youtube as well (in four parts) & it's quite interesting too, imho.

The demo version of "Red Rain" at the 2:20 mark is like a Pet Shop Boys track.

'That Voice Again'
I like this record, but am less likely to listen to it than the four self-titled records.

Now that I'm in my mid forties "don't give up" makes me cry almost every time I listen to it
The affective shift when he goes "got to waaaalk out of here" is just...

As a kid I used to mishear "Big Time" as "Pig Time" when it played on the radio - still do, actually
