Gilbert Gabriel
A recent project by Gilbert is the album called Angels and Fools by the
Believers. It includes a refreshing new version of "Life in Northern
Town" and "England's Dreaming" produced by Gilbert and
Andy Fryer. 'Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want' (Steven Morrisey/Johnny
Marr) features David Gilmour, Kate St. John and Nick Laird Clowes really
leaning on the associations built in the Dream Academy days. However,
one track which stands out is Serotonin
Sky  (Gabriel,
Kennen, Fryer) sung by Ollie Childs. The crisply produced guitar with
Spirit Finger's tight drumming and the emotional vocals give the song
an excitement.
Gilbert, a classically trained pianist, attended Dartington college of
Arts, Goldsmith's University,studied composition at Trinity College of
Music and has completed a Masters at Westminster University. Having achieved
success with Dream Academy (in 1998, Gilbert was nominated for an Ivor
Novello award for his part in writing Life In a Northern Town as featured
by Dario G in the world-wide hit Sunchyme), Gilbert has recorded three
albums and ten singles, and written music for film and television.

Lotus album
 
"out of mud a lotus flower grows"
This saying, derived from the tenets of Nichiren Buddhism and meaning
that we can turn adversity to our benefit with the right attitude, has
provided the basis for the music contained on this album. This music has
been composed both to lift the heart and spirit of the listener by creating
a sense of inner harmony and calm and, on another level, to enhance the
benefit of such healing therapies as massage, aromatherapy and reflexology.
Lotus was composed, created and recorded entirely by Gilbert Gabriel,
and features the ethereal vocals of Valerie Antell on "Heaven".
