I have never really bothered with Peter Gabriel-era Genesis; it’s extremely doubtful that I ever will, from the little I have dared to expose myself to. I guess I dabbled a little with the Genesis of Invisible Touch and Land of Confusion, but by 1991’s We Can’t Dance I had roughly zero interest. A year later, Gabriel released Us, and chose Digging In The Dirt as its first single. To accompany it, a video, complete with claymation like on that other Gabriel song - you know the one, don’t you? Reasonably famous, I’d say…

Anyway, the best thing about the CD single was a beautiful, stripped bare version of Gabriel’s follow-up single Steam. Called Quiet Steam, it’s really a wonderful minimal version, and well worth seeking out.
