Search YouTube for his videos and you see how incredibly diverse his videos were when videos were still in their infancy. David Byrne from the Talking Heads is usually cited as a more innovative media artist, but I'd have to say Gabriel is far more inventive and cross media than Byrne has been. Even in live concerts, like the Secret World tour, Gabriel was using video, stage effects and props simultaneous to create a "mashup" of digital and practical effects long before it was the norm. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=peter+gabriel&search_type=&aq=f I’ve always been a fan of Gabriel’s aesthetic.
