Gilbert Gabriel

A recent project by Gilbert is the album called Angels and Fools by the Believers. It includes a refreshing new version of "Life in Northern Town" and "England's Dreaming" produced by Gilbert and Andy Fryer. 'Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want' (Steven Morrisey/Johnny Marr) features David Gilmour, Kate St. John and Nick Laird Clowes really leaning on the associations built in the Dream Academy days. However, one track which stands out is Serotonin Sky  (Gabriel, Kennen, Fryer) sung by Ollie Childs. The crisply produced guitar with Spirit Finger's tight drumming and the emotional vocals give the song an excitement.

Gilbert, a classically trained pianist, attended Dartington college of Arts, Goldsmith's University,studied composition at Trinity College of Music and has completed a Masters at Westminster University. Having achieved success with Dream Academy (in 1998, Gilbert was nominated for an Ivor Novello award for his part in writing Life In a Northern Town as featured by Dario G in the world-wide hit Sunchyme), Gilbert has recorded three albums and ten singles, and written music for film and television.

Lotus album



"out of mud a lotus flower grows"

This saying, derived from the tenets of Nichiren Buddhism and meaning that we can turn adversity to our benefit with the right attitude, has provided the basis for the music contained on this album. This music has been composed both to lift the heart and spirit of the listener by creating a sense of inner harmony and calm and, on another level, to enhance the benefit of such healing therapies as massage, aromatherapy and reflexology.

Lotus was composed, created and recorded entirely by Gilbert Gabriel, and features the ethereal vocals of Valerie Antell on "Heaven".
