专辑介绍

We are very pleased to officially announce the release of Real World 25 on 29 September 2014, a celebratory 3CD set boasting big names, hidden gems and tracks chosen by listeners.

To represent a record label that blazed trails, opened doors and introduced a whole new world of music was never going to be easy, or definitive. But we’re giving it a go.

“We’ve always been vibrant, alive and kicking,” says Peter Gabriel of Real World Records, the label he launched in 1989, a few years after establishing the WOMAD (World of Music Arts and Dance) Festival. “We worked hard to create an environment where the artists felt respected and supported, so that they were able to deliver extraordinary performances.”

The magic was there from the off: an old mill building, transformed into state-of-the-art studios, on the edge of a pond fringed with bulrushes, in landscaped gardens bordered by a river, in the village of Box in the southwest of England.

Armed with a philosophy that variously involved openness, interconnectedness and the right to fail, Real World Records was born. There was no agenda: perhaps the closest it came to a template was the maverick aesthetic of BBC DJ John Peel, who would follow a track by The Fall with a song by a Siberian throat singer – along with that of its unconventional elder sibling, the WOMAD Festival.

Condensing 25 years of history onto three CDs was always going to be an impossible task; we knew we would only ever skim the surface of the extensive range of wonderful music we have been so lucky to encounter.

CD1 brings together tracks that have been significant highlights or ‘classic’ points in the label’s history.

CD2 delves deeper into the catalogue, shining a light on some tracks that beg rediscovery; the buried treasures.

CD3 is the listeners’ choice – we asked people to choose their favourite Real World track.
