Review by Chris Stapleton:
A string of big names appeared at Peter Gabriel's West Country studio for his 1991-'92 recording weeks-and this album contains the best moments. Some of them, including a superb version of "She Moved Through The Fair" from Jam Nation, have featured on previous Real World releases. Others have not. Outright winners include Van Morrison and The Holmes Brothers on "That's Where It's At" and an East-North excursion from Mari Boine and Liu Sola. A percussive stomper from Toto La Momposina, Karl Wallinger singing Yeats, reggae from Lucky Dube and a cracking "Find Myself" from producer Rupert Hine add further gloss to an outstanding compilation.
