Fabulous work!

Carpet Crawlers shaped me.
Heard it in the radio, ran to the record store.
Bought the album. Pure magic till this very present day.

Best wishes to you.

Hey, Ben!

I feel you:  Carpet Crawlers "shaped" me as well....and still does.  
I've been listening to it recently, in the car...with the more mature Gabriel singing it.  Fills me with wonder it does.
Then, about a month ago (before I had to bring my mom to the Mayo Clinic)...I was doing a Lamb Fanatics roadtrip to the TMB concert in Boston, with Tom Lord-Alge (re-nowned audio mix engineer ) and he played the version that Peter and Phil co-led on the re-cut, updated 1990's one - on his Challenger's AMAZING sound-system (what else would you expect a Grammy-winner to be listening on, though, eh?  *grin*)...and I wept.   I simply wept.  

Btw,  funny side note:   Just saw a "Stickleback" fish being featured on NOVA, tonight, on PBS (a part of the Genome Project)...and I wanted to call in and say "I am NOT donating any money, tonight, for the Pledge Drive - until you can produce The Tickler for me!  LOLOL

Anyway,  all my sincerest thanks for writing in...and sharing your Lamb experience with m

*FOR SERIOUS LAMB FANATICS ONLY !!!* 

A
n Analysis of the many allegorical layers, written by Peter Gabriel, within the pivotal song "The Chamber of 32 Doors" on the original Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album.

Jungian Archetype Theory, The Power of Myth's Hero's Journey and the Tibetan Book of the Dead provide the framework with which Gabriel wrote of his pending decision to leave Genesis.
Add onto that the visual work of "El Topo" director Alejandro Jodorowsky, as Peter's inspiration - and you have one, very serious surrealistic work of art.

WARNING/ADVISORY:   This trilogy of videos are DEEP (because these metaphysical/psychoanalytical works were what Peter Gabriel had been reading up until the uber-rushed writing of The Lamb)!
Although, he claims the lyrics are flawed - many still consider it a layered work of genius.
Part Surrealism, Part Metaphysical, Part Self Psychoanalytical. 

These videos are the result of 2 years of intense research and many contributions by many people (several, quite close to Peter Gabriel & Genesis).

As Tony Robinson wrote for the 1970-1975 Genesis Box Set: "It's a mistake to think of the narrative as only having one meaning because every listener must create their own personal story."
This trilogy's analysis is not set in concrete.  It is meant to elucidate upon the metaphysical texts by which Peter was reaching to obtain his own new pathway (out of the band and into his own solo career, away from "Genesis-the-Big")....as well as start new discussions as to what the album meant to YOU, the listener.
From all of us who collaborated on these videos....ENJOY!!
