'RSD First' 2025 Limited Edition!
Half-Speed Remastered 2LP Pressed on 1 Blue Vinyl & 1 Orange Vinyl!
OVO is the Peter Gabriel-authored soundtrack to the UK's Millennium Dome Show, the 160-artist extravaganza that underwent 999 performances during the 365 days in 2000 that the Dome was open. Helping to tell the story of three generations of the same family living through three distinct eras — the past, the present, the future — Peter's soundtrack accordingly drew from deep, long-held tradition and from contemporary grooves. Originally released halfway through 2000, OVO boasts a stellar cast, including Cocteau Twin Elizabeth Fraser, Neneh Cherry, Alison Goldfrapp and Paul Buchanan from The Blue Nile. Some of the tracks from OVO have become fixtures of the Gabriel canon, among them "Downside Up," "Father, Son" and "The Tower That Ate People."
"With titles I always like things which are short – I use two letter titles often on my own records. I like the way you get a graphic element to the text rather than just a text with it's own language. I have always liked symmetrical words and palindromes visually, and OVO seemed to fit. As the story was partly a sort of creation myth, the egg element was in there and so was the idea at the end that the baby OVO was born as a representative of the future." – Peter Gabriel
