Peter Gabriel Record Store Day release chronicles soundtrack songs

Peter Gabriel will released a new compilation, titled Rated PG for Record Store Day on April 13th. The 10-track vinyl collection spotlights Gabriel’s songs written specifically for and/or featured in various big screen movie projects over the years. In the album’s announcement, Gabriel said, “I have always loved film and any chance I have been offered to work with good film projects and good directors I have jumped at. This is a mixture of songs that have been written for specific films, and existing songs that found an appropriate place in a story. Consequently, there is a mix of different styles and moods.”

Among the high profile movies to have featured Gabriel’s music are Alan Parker‘s Birdy from 1985, Martin Scorsese‘s The Last Temptation Of Christ, Philip Noyce’s 2002 film Rabbit-Proof Fence, Oliver Stone‘s Natural Born Killers from 1994 — along with the iconic use of “In Your Eyes” in Cameron Crowe‘s 1989 comedy Say Anything.
