My Remix of Peter Gabriel’s “Games Without Frontiers”

On ‘Scratch My Back,’ Peter Gabriel interprets songs by artists he admires: David Bowie, Paul Simon, Elbow, Bon Iver, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Arcade Fire, The Magnetic Fields, Randy Newman, Regina Spektor, Neil Young and Radiohead. Peter has taken the collaboration to new levels by asking these artists to reinterpret and perform their favourite Peter Gabriel song to be released as double A sides on iTunes. After the cycle is complete, all 12 reciprocal songs will have been unveiled via the Full Moon Club.


Peter is asking artist to join this exciting collaborative event. He wants you to “Scratch His Back” by covering the classic song “Games Without Frontiers.” Taking the stems from the 1980 hit and reimagine them in your own style. Peter Gabriel himself will be choosing one collaborator to be flown out to the UK to master the winning mix at his Real World Studios. The mix will be released as a double A side single, along with the original version of the song, through the Full Moon Club.
Here’s a quick remix I did. I wish I had a more time for this one.
I used the original vocals and one of the guitars, added the rest of the music, some vocals and increased the tempo. Enjoy !
