Excellent blend of world music with the Peter Gabriel flair!
You'll hear his sounds blended all through the album. This album is an excellent blend of both world music and classic Peter Gabriel sounds. Altus Silva is a beautiful melody with gaelic charm. This will not disappoint those looking for a different flavor. .


Around the World in 11 Songs
Gabriel united musicians from around the world in an electrifying open mike session. "Big Blue Ball" is the fruitful, fascinating fusion of three amazing Recording Weeks at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio in Wiltshire, England. There's something for everyone. It's a natural compilation, right down to the tracks "Forest" and "Rivers. "

"Big Blue Ball" opens with the electrifying "Whole Thing" that deftly blends Pygmy flute with contemporary dance. In the sensual "Habibe", Egyptian diva Natacha Atlas sings a love song with the Hossam Ramzy Egyptian Ensemble. "Shadow" magically blends African music with Spanish flamenco. "Altus Silva" blends Celtic stylings with Papa Wemba's congas. "Everything Comes From You" is a plea for peace. It has an unusually serene Sinead O'Connor singing with a Japanese percussionist and Chinese flautists. "Forest" evokes the African jungle, while "Rivers" has the Hungarian singer Marta Sebestyen with a Turkmen ensemble, flowing like water. The closing title track is a touching plea for universal unity, following in the theme of the opening song. It's musical alchemy blending a Celtic-sounding accordion with African drums.

"Big Blue Ball" is an amazing,psychedelic world fusion album. (I got the alternate cover shown because it looks like the sort of art the Grateful Dead would go for!) It's a delightful rainbow of vocals and instrumentals. Enjoy the Real World!.


The *Other* Album Cover Is Better, Don't Ya Think?
It looks to me like the only difference between this "Big Blue Ball" and the *other* "Big Blue Ball" is the album cover. Okay, so this isn't a review of "Big Blue Ball" (other than to say that it's an outstanding album, hence my 5-star rating). The tracks are exactly the same. The other album cover is better, don't ya think? Go on, look at it. I mean, it's just total "big blue ball". . . . it's much more striking & representative. Looks good in the music stores, too. You see that big blue ball on the cover, and you know exactly what album it is! *This* album cover. . . . it's very pretty, but that's about it. So, Uncle Alan says go buy the other "Big Blue Ball" instead of this one. (P. S. My proper review of the album is over there too!).


Your Guess is as good as mine
Amazon eve offers them as a package deal. Any ideas what the differences are between the 2 versions available: ASIN: B0018RKENW and ASIN: B00195FU9Q - aside from price and cover art?
Both are listed as being CDs with the same track and editorial descriptions. And what a deal that is!!

Don't bother asking Amazon, as they are clueless and that's where they leave it - after repeatedly witnessing the clerk mentality raised to an art form - instead of trying to get answer.

Any reliable help, as opposed to simply more speculation in which we are buried,would be welcomed.

Thanks.
