New Blood is a continuum of Peters previous Scratch My Back album -
the song-swap project where he covered the songs of others, all to
an orchestral backing. Thanks to the precise arrangements by John
Metcalf and Peter, the treatment was so successful that Peter very
quickly knew where he wanted to take it next, and work began to
apply the same principals to his own songs. Great care has been
taken, and much discussion shared, in deciding what songs were
included on New Blood. It wasnt simply a case of giving the big
numbers an orchestral re-rub. Indeed, some of the big hits are
missing in favour of lesser-known material. But the intention wasnt
a deliberate obliqueness; it was more a case of finding the songs
that would be enhanced by the massed strings, brass, woodwind and
percussion. The orchestra provides different dimensions to the
music that werent there initially, confirms Peter. Rock artists
work slowly in studios, building up layer by layer, and one of the
great, powerful advantages of an orchestra is all these musicians
playing at one moment with all sorts of colours and personalities.
And in front of orchestra, taking centre stage when necessary,
retreating into the shadows when not, is Peters rich voice.
Retaining its trademark emotive power, it returns to lyrics written
20 or 30 years ago, reinvesting them with new meaning and
heightened poignancy.
