Review by Gary Hill
This new set from The Security Project continues their cycle of re-envisioning Peter Gabriel songs, but brings new flavors and concepts to that idea, while also stretching it out a bit. For one thing, there is one personnel change, and it's a big one. Instead of Brian Cummins on vocals, the lead singer is now Happy Rhodes. She brings a different sound to this for sure, as he sounded a dead ringer for Gabriel. That change allows (or perhaps forces) them to break from the original sound of Gabriel tunes a bit more. The other way in which they stretch out is by covering a Kate Bush tune amidst all the Gabriel stuff. This is another fine entry in The Security Project catalog. It does a fine job of evolving their sound and musical legacy.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2017 Volume 6 at garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2017.
