Gavin Bryars I know nothing of, but if I went into collabs I'd have been here a whole lot longer, and you really want to read my Genesis and Marillion discogs, don't you?
Big Time was a film documenting one of Waits' live tours. It's really something else and my favourite album from him, so you might hate it come to think of it . It's on Netflix and it's a must for any Waits fan. The Bryars collaboration is a minimalist piece with Waits singing the same line over and over over strings. It doesn't sound up your alley at all but it's really very beautiful. That and the original are phenomenal and you should definitely hear both (the original is on the album "Sinking of the Titanic") before the moon crashes into the earth and we all die.
