  • Peter Gabriel is Peter Gabriel's third album. The album contains two of Gabriel's most famous songs, the U.K. Top 10 hit "Games Without Frontiers" and the political song "Biko", about the late anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko. The album was remastered, along with most of Gabriel's catalog, in 2002. This album is often referred to as Melt due to its cover photograph by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis. The photo was taken with a Polaroid SX-70 instant camera, and subsequently modified by Thorgerson or Gabriel. (Thorgerson does not recall whether he or Gabriel manipulated the image. ) The album was Gabriel's first and only release for Mercury Records in the U.S. , after being rejected by Atlantic Records, who handled U.S. distribution for Gabriel's first two solo albums and his last two albums with Genesis. Upon hearing mixes of the album's session tapes in early 1980, Atlantic A&R executive John Kalodner deemed the album not commercial enough for release, and recommended that Atlantic drop Gabriel from their artist roster. By the time the album was released by Mercury several months later, Kalodner, now working for the newly-formed Geffen Records label and having realized his mistake, arranged for Geffen to pursue Gabriel as one of their first artist signings. Geffen re-issued the album in 1983 after Mercury's distribution rights to the album lapsed, and has marketed it in the U.S. since. Gabriel's ex-Genesis bandmate Phil Collins, who succeeded Gabriel as Genesis' lead vocalist, plays drums and provides backing vocals on several of the album's tracks. In particular, Collins played drums on "Intruder", which has been cited as the first use of Collins' "gated drum" sound. This effect, as created by Collins and Hugh Padgham, was featured on Collins' recordings throughout the 1980s. The distinctive sound was identified via experiments by Collins and Padgham, in reponse to Gabriel's request that Collins and Jerry Marotta not use cymbals on the album's sessions. The drum sound on this album has been noted by Public Image Ltd as influencing the sound on their album Flowers of Romance, whose engineer, Nick Launay, was in turn employed by Collins to assist him with his first solo album, Face Value.
  • Peter Gabriel est le troisième album de Peter Gabriel sorti en 1980. Les quatre premiers enregistrements studio de Gabriel étant homonymes, cet album est communément désigné soit par le niméro 3, soit par le nom Melt (« fonte ») en référence à la couverture, une photo de l'artiste retouchée de manière à donner l'impression que son visage est en train de fondre. Après deux albums, Peter Gabriel publie un album plus sombre que les précédents opus avec des sonorités nouvelles, ce qui donnera la world music. Gabriel se fait ici le « chantre » de la chanson engagé avec des célèbres titres comme Games Without Frontiers, critique du nationalisme et surtout le fameux Biko, dernier titre de l'album, hommage à Steve Biko, leader contre l'apartheid en Afrique du Sud, torturé et assassiné en 1977. Phil Collins, successeur de Gabriel dans le groupe Genesis et Kate Bush ont participé à cet album. Collins participe sur le titre Intruder en utilisant le drum (pour Intruder) et le surdo (pour Biko) en autres et Kate Bush prête sa voix en faisant les choeurs sur les titres No Self-Control et Games Without Frontiers (elle chante Jeux sans frontières). Une version allemande est sortie uniquement en Allemagne, sous le nom Ein Deutsches Album.
  • Peter Gabriel è il terzo album di Peter Gabriel. Per distinguerlo dai precedenti due e dal successivo (tutti intitolati Peter Gabriel), l'album viene anche chiamato comunemente Peter Gabriel III o (soprattutto nei paesi di lingua inglese), Melt ("sciogliersi"), con riferimento all'artwork di copertina, opera di Storm Thorgerson, in cui è proposto il volto di Gabriel elaborato in modo da apparire in parte liquefatto.
  • Peter Gabriel jest trzecim albumem Petera Gabriela. Zawiera dwie piosenki które dostały się do pierwszej dziesiątki list przebojów w Wielkiej Brytanii - "Games Without Frontiers" oraz piosenkę polityczną "Biko", opowiadającą o Stevenie Biko, południowoafrykańskim anty-apartheidowskim działaczu, zamordowanym przez policję w 1977 roku. Album został poddany cyfrowemu remasteringowi w roku 2002. Album ten bywa często nazywany Melt (z ang. topnieć, rozpuszczać się) z powodu swojej okładki. Kolega Petera Gabriela z zespołu Genesis, Phil Collins, który przejął po nim funkcję głównego wokalisty, gra tu na perkusji i śpiewa chórki w niektórych utworach. W piosence pt. "Intruder" po raz pierwszy w został użyty dźwięk "gated reverb". Efekt ten stworzył Collins oraz Hugh Padgham. Można usłyszeć go także w utworach Collinsa z lat 80-tych. W roku 1989, album uzyskał miejsce 45 w liście 100 najlepszych albumów lat 80-tych magazynu Rolling Stone W roku 2000, magazyn Q umieścił album na 53 miejscu w liście 100 najlepszych albumów brytyjskich.
