Big Blue Ball
In the early '90s, Peter Gabriel used to host "recording weeks" at Real World Studios, big music parties pulling together artists across a wide range of genres and cultures to collaborate in an atmosphere of spontaneity and experimentation. Eighteen years later, Gabriel and his cohorts finally got around to releasing the results: a melange of a record called Big Blue Ball. Fans of the Real World sound will recognize many of the collaborators on hand, and some of the tracks sound very much like they'd be right at home on a modern Gabriel record; but there are plenty of interesting surprises as well.
