Does anyone know anything about an album Big Blue Ball. After years of being a fan of his, I somehow missed this one. I came across one song on youtube today. I don't know if it's Gabriel's alone or a collaborative work. Only that it was released by Real World in 2008.

Hello Jw100!
Here's a link to the RealWorld blurb about it.

It was a collaborative event with lots of artists around 1990 including PG.

Plus a clip of Kurt Wallinger and PG discussing it.

. . . almost a musical time capsule of how music was created bacl in the late twentieth century. . . how times have changed! Thank heavens for the technology of the twenty first and the instant Peter Gabriel album generator!

Caste - so you don't even like the silent bits on this one? Does that make it worse than Rabbit Proof Fence?

I like the click that the CD case makes when I put the disc inside and close it - forever.
