# Album: Us by Peter Gabriel Peter Gabriel's 1992 album "Us" was recorded primarily at Real World Studios in Box, Wiltshire, England, the state-of-the-art facility Gabriel himself owned. The album was produced by Gabriel alongside Daniel Lanois, known for his work with U2 and Brian Eno, with additional production input from Richard James and Nigel Godrich. The recording sessions were notably experimental, incorporating world music influences, diverse instrumentation, and unconventional recording techniques that reflected Gabriel's interest in non-Western music and sounds. The production was characterized by extensive use of digital editing and processing, layered vocal arrangements, and the integration of various ethnic instruments alongside contemporary production methods. Released during a period of significant technological advancement in recording, "Us" marked a departure from Gabriel's previous work and established the sonic template for his subsequent artistic direction.
