I had these other opportunities that I thought were certainly more interesting. But it grew into a bigger thing than I was ready to take on at the time. Did you ever have any regrets about not doing the Genesis reunion?

We have some wonderful players and extraordinary arranger and I think the result is uncompromising…It's obviously not the first version of songs but for me a song is a living thing, it should be allowed to live, evolve and breathe rather than have just have one moment trapped in time and try to reproduce that moment. I think it ranks right up there in that it's bold. How long did "New Blood" take you to assemble? How do you feel it ranks among your most ambitious works? But she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom for awhile and I completely understand that. Now, with these records that have come out, there are some rumors that she may go back to doing something live, which I think would make a lot of fans very happy. I think I did for awhile but she made a decision to have a life and I have a lot of respect for that too. She's 35 and she's just about to make me a granddad. The other voice was my daughter (Melanie Gabriel) who I'd sung with before, I thought she did a beautiful job on "Downside Up." How old is your daughter?

I remember hearing someone and being very impressed…We eventually found her and rang her up to see if she'd be interested and fortunately she was because she's a great singer. In one of the (Nelson) Mandela benefit concerts, there was one event in Tromso which is right up north of Norway where they can have 24 hours of daylight or 24 hours of darkness. How did you find out about Norwegian singer Ane Brun who sings what was the Kate Bush segment in "Don't Give Up?" That was a song that we were considering dropping and then we worked hard with our particular players and some of the wind section and then they seemed to find the pocket and it began to work. So "Digging in the Dirt" for example was a track that we couldn't get to sit in the groove. Yeah, the rhythmic stuff is harder to get right with orchestra, particularly if you're changing some of the players.
