Yeah, apparently PG decided there would be no cymbals used on PG3, though I'm not sure if that sound was developed on this album, or on Face Value. I know Phil Collins was involved somewhere along the way.

Anyway, a tour de force of drumming on this album, particularly 'No Self Control'.

Listen to it again and I challenge you to find a cymbal or hi-hat...

I have to say......I'm surprised that more of you arn't saying The Talking Heads. Remain In Light is phenominal and I reccommend it to anyone.

Indeed it was. I rock out to those songs any chance I remember I have the record. Good times.

This is a much debated point... but really its six of one and half a dozen of the other... It was Gabriel`s idea to ditch metallic sounds, he wanted the cymbal and hi hat free sound, but it was Collins who played the actual experiments with the sound... particularly during the drum track recordings for songs like Intruder...

I LOVE the sound of PG3 by the way... I love the sound of the drums and how well it works to have no cymbals. A truly original album.

Such a hard Q, i can think of at least 20 off the top of my head that could be labelled as my 'favourite'... at the moment:

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything

This changes weekly though.
