Intense! While many cappella groups seem to gravitate toward Peter Gabriel, let me just say that the Hyannis Sound arrangement and subsequent performance of this hit is simply brilliant. I own a copy of their studio release "Shirt! Tie! Khaki!" and while it's not as showstopper a CD as previous discs, Solsbury Hill is a standout as a track and excellent among other acappella Gabriel arrangements. As a well produced 10 part acappella version, it highlights much of the complexity that Gabriel always brings to the table. The soloist, by the name of Micah Christian, appears in an India Arie song "Ready for Love" and spot on nails that solo as well. The YouTube rendition is on point as far as a YouTube video goes, but I'd strongly recommend getting my hands on a copy of the studio CD for immediate addition to my iPod.

Good piece. However, I will show the court that Here comes the flood is actually Mr Gabriel’s finest moment. Lovely 2003 version:

The defense rests. Screw the charts. And yes, I named my blog after it, so there.

I feel like other than rane, the only credible cover suggested is actually Sarah McLachlan’s.
