Ever since, I’ve always wanted to work more in film, not so much at the acting end of it, but more in the creating side. When I had an invitation from Alan Parker to work on ‘Birdy’ that was very exciting for me. Both he and Scorsese, who I worked with on ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’, are musical directors who really care and feel the music they work with.”\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– Peter Gabriel\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“… the mastering is extraordinary, the sound incredible, truly putting many of the other releases this month, however good the music, into sonic perspective.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e – The Arts Desk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Powerhouse Films Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45671936884910,"sku":"PGCDRBIRR","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/BIRDY-cover-RGB.jpg?v=1724339925","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/birdy-cd","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
