Peter Gabriel III: Melt

Peter Gabriel 3 (alson known as Melt) is Peter’s third solo album, and also the third of four consecutive self-titled albums by Gabriel. It was produced by Steve Lillywhite and features notable contributions from Kate Bush, Paul Weller, Phil Collins and David Rhodes. The album saw Peter change his writing style; now the rhythm came before the melody and the songs were built up on top of the rhythmic sequences.

I think that the third album was quite important for me in terms of really having a defining sound and the band coming through. It was the first record where I was clearly doing something different from what other people were doing.
