Big Blue Ball

Real World Records launches Big Blue Ball - an album of collaborations, a truly international, multi-artist project that grew from a series of extraordinary Recording Weeks in Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Wiltshire, England back in the early 1990's.

Produced by Peter Gabriel and Karl Wallinger and Stephen Hague and mixed by Tchad Blake. Featuring artists from a myriad of different cultures and nations - some well known names, others hidden gems of writing and performing talentÂ….The Holmes Brothers, Jah Wobble, Billy Cobham, Joseph Arthur, Iarla O'Lionaird, James McNally, Deep Forest,
Hukwe Zawose, Natacha Atlas, Hossam Ramzy, Marta Sebestyen, Papa Wemba, Sinead O Connor, Joji Hirota, Guo Yue, Peter Gabriel, Karl WallingerÂ…..and more

"After all these years, it's a fine wine ready to be drunk," says Peter Gabriel, "It was the most fun music making I've ever had."

"It's like a wall of sound coming at you, listening to the planet from outer space," says Karl Wallinger of the final mix. "It's a real world-view of music, a snapshot of the music-making continents at that time."
