I bought 1 Giant Leap not really knowing much about the project other than that Robbie Williams and Neneh Cherry each contributed to singles released from it. I was therefore quite surprised when I found the CD to contain a very eclectic mix of world music, bringing in various elements of multiple genres. I have to say that this was outside my usual realm of listening, so, while I didn't dislike it, I didn't take to most of the tracks as well as others might. Still, I plan to revisit this at some point to give it a fair shake. Those who contributed all seem very talented, and I did learn of some new cool artists who're usually ignored in this culture.
