Peter Gabriel pushing the envelope

I have always liked Peter Gabriel's intelligence and taste. I like some of his music although his songs often sound to me like a riff on something he has already done. No matter, Fred Goodman of the New York Times does a very nice article on Mr. Gabriel's prowess as a music industry visionary and investor.

TheFilter.com is another online service that recommends new, unfamiliar music to users. The technology may vary from site to site but the idea is very similar to the software designed at the University of Minnesota at MovieLens.org. The article by Mr. Goodman is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
