Peter Gabriel - In the Big Room (2025)


In the Big Room showcases Peter Gabriel in stripped-back, high-intimacy mode—eschewing spectacle for raw sonic presence. Recorded in a 2,000 sq ft SSL-equipped studio space with his touring band, the performance feels alive and edge-of-seat urgent as Gabriel revisits emotionally dense classics without visual distraction. The setlist blends accessible pop hits (“In Your Eyes,” “Games Without Frontiers”) with narrative-rich storytelling pieces and rarities, all with crisp mixes, dynamic musicianship, and understated arrangements. An essential listen for fans craving a thoughtful alternative to Gabriel’s theatrical concerts—capturing him at his most vulnerable, authentic, and present.

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance.
