Remixer Notes
The Peter Gabriel's monkey made a trip to Persia (modern Iran), met new people and tried to understand a different culture; then came back home, enriched by new impressions and made this remix.
Sometimes animals are better than human beings .
Technical Information
The most relevant addition to the samplepack is the use of a KANUN - a persian instrument - that I sampled myself and then played with a keyboard.
It was a sort of surprise to me seeing the remix grow by itself day by day, and take a reggae character that was somehow hidden in the original track.
Sequenced with Cubase

Nice one. At times i'm uncomfortable with the timing of the vocals, but it may be 'cause i'm oldfashioned.
I like the sound of that Kanun! Sounds good - weirdly enough I have been working on a more 'eastern' monkey but definatly don't have the advantage of that sound!! 
My only gripe is the timing of the vocals too.thats the 4/4 in me!
I agree with the comments before me. If you want to sing along it is realy hard! (Good for you my singing stinks!) May be you could try in a new mix to get the vocals in 4/4. We/You can hear the difference.
By far my favorite remix I've heard so far.
Personally, i am into the p.Gabriel remixes that works my emotion and speaks to me. This does just that. I am not one for being overly critical about others music. The production is top notch. I like the off time lyrics. It makes Peter seem elusive and gives you the feel he is floting around you singing to you like a ghost. Sometimes here, sometimes there.
5 stars friend.
Wonderful remix! I also like the off time vocals. Gives it a special touch.
The first mix I've felt compelled to listen to in it's entirety. A masterpiece.
"Now I'm on my knees"
This is one of the better. It's very innovative by using the KANUN.I like that kind of remixes. It's more personal than all those over-electronized remixes. The only problem with this is that it's sometimes a little bit confusing. But, one of the better
Mesmerizing. But the changing rhythms are confusing indeed. Like the sequence around 2:40-2:50 mins very much. Still 4 out 5 for this odd surprise.
Cool vibe. Reminds me of an old Doors tune a bit. Totally different flavor with that Kanun in there. Nice!
Nice KANUN sound, It's very confortable for me
The sound of kanun creates a wonderful magic atmosphere.
Great.
5 stars
Your persian monkey makes sense, it's all about the concept.
