LONDON (Billboard) - Peter Gabriel (news) is re-mixing tracks for an as-yet-untitled DVD compilation of his videos, due for worldwide release Oct. 21 via Warner Vision.
Gabriel, working at his Wiltshire, U.K.-based Real World Studios with producer Daniel Lanois (news), said the project will allow viewers to experience such clips as "Sledgehammer" and "Red Rain" in 5.1 surround sound.
"The project has been on the cards for some time, and now seems to be the perfect timing," he told Billboard.com. "Daniel is doing mixes that will sometimes sound better than the originals. For a musician, it is fantastic to have access to 5.1 technology. It is a much wider sound -- there's more clarity."
Lanois previously worked with Gabriel on 1986's "So" and 1992's "Us."
Some videos will also be re-edited, and in some cases, new images will be added. "We won't touch the better ones, but on some others we will have new material," Gabriel said.
The DVD will comprise 18-20 tracks, including "Biko," "Digging in the Dirt," "Shock the Monkey," "Games Without Frontiers" and "Don't Give Up." Gabriel said his personal favorites are "Sledgehammer," "Mercy Street" and "Digging in the Dirt," while Lanois chose the lesser known "Zaara" and "Lovetown."
"We haven't completed the sequencing yet," said Gabriel. "I guess we'll go for a recommended order and then people will be free to re-arrange it."
