2002 album from Peter Gabriel is the soundtrack to the highly acclaimed independent Australian film 'Rabbit Proof Fence' directed by Phillip Noyce (The Bone Collector, Patriot Games and others). 15 tracks. Realworld Records / 2002 release. No US release is currently scheduled.

'The Rabbit-proof Fence' is an Australian Film by Peter Noyce. When Peter Gabriel Heard About Rabbit-proof Fence He was Intrigued. Not Only was it an Independent Film (Not Your Usual Hollywood Blockbuster), but the Film Had a Great Story with Little Dialogue in which the Music Would Take a Significant Role in Setting the Mood So He was Keen to Be Involved.



Nearly a full decade after the release of Us, Peter Gabriel finally returned with new music in the summer of 2002 — but it wasn't a new studio album, it was the soundtrack to Phillip Noyce's return to independent Australian cinema, Rabbit-Proof Fence. The film tells the true story of three Aboriginal girls who make a return to their home after being abducted by the government to serve as domestic help to a white family in 1931; as they make their journey through the Outback to their home, they follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, which was constructed to separate Aborigines from white settlers. This, understandably, is a moody, emotional piece, and Gabriel was an ideal choice for the soundtrack, since he proved with his score for Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ that he could stay faithful to the indigenous music of the region while synthesizing it with his own synth-based art-rock, providing a haunting, emotionally resonant soundtrack to the film. He does a similar thing here, using Aboriginal music as a foundation for much of his music, yet winding up with a score that's ultimately closer to Birdy than Passion. That's largely due to its long stretches of moody, spare keyboards, which dominate much of the album. The keyboards are the dominant sound here, not the rhythms, but it all blends together for a very evocative, dark yet hopeful set of music. It's not a splashy comeback, then, but a quiet return to something Gabriel does best — creating soundscapes that are at once alien and familiar, eerie yet comforting. That he hasn't done this in a while does not diminish the fact that he's created a strong instrumental piece that stands on its own, outside of the film, holding its own with Birdy and Passion. And it only whets the appetite for a full-scale comeback.

Peter Gabriels Album Long Walk Home ist der Soundtrack des hochgelobten australischen Films The Rabbit-Proof Fence vom Regisseur Phillip Noyce (Das Kartell, Die Stunde der Patrioten). Als Gabriel von dem Film hörte, war er fasziniert. Nicht nur, weil es sich um eine Independent-Produktion handelt, sondern auch weil der Film eine großartige Story mit wenig Dialog erzählt. Die Musik soll eine herausragende Rolle spielen. Nach Passion, dem eindrucksvollen Soundtrack zu Martin Scorseses Die letzte Versuchung, und Birdy verlieh Peter Gabriel mit Philip Noyces Long Walk Home - The Rabbit-Proof-Fence erneut den Bildern eines Films musikalische Gestalt. Gabriels Soundtracks sind stets mehr als nur eine Illustration der Bilder, seine Musik lebt auch unabhängig vom Film, sie haucht den Bildern weiteres Leben ein. Der Film mit dem seltsam anmutenden Titel spielt im Australien der 30er-Jahre. Drei Aboriginie-Mädchen wagen den beschwerlichen Heimweg durch das australische Hinterland -- entlang des Rabbit-Proof Fence. Sie waren ihren Familien weggenommen worden, da die damalige australische Regierung diese Kinder zu Weißen umerziehen lassen wollte. Gabriel ließ viele natürliche Laute wie z. B. Vogelgezwitscher in die Musik einfließen, um die Reise der Mädchen so authentisch wie möglich klingen zu lassen. Neben langjährigen Weggefährten wie David Rhodes und Richard Evans arbeitete Peter Gabriel auch mit australischen Musikern, deren eigentümliche Instrumente der Musik die besondere Note verleihen. So entstanden 13 Stücke, die Weltmusik-Freunden ebenso wie eingefleischten Peter-Gabriel-Fans gefallen werden. Die sphärischen Klänge, die bewegenden Gesänge -- insbesondere das eindrucksvolle Stück "Ngankarrparni" -- lassen den Hörer die lange Reise buchstäblich miterleben und versetzen ihn in eine andere, fremde Welt. Was mehr kann man von Musik verlangen?
