Brian Eno/ David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (1981) (@256)
As Joe Tangari writes in his review for "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today" in pitchforkmedia: "In 1981, Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and producer Brian Eno united for one of the most fruitful partnerships of the post-punk era to release My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, a groundbreaking record that made prominent use of sampled soundbytes and disembodied voices in place of singing. The album, recorded between sessions for the Talking Heads' essential Remain in Light LP, was released with surprisingly little fanfare, yet pioneered and popularized methods that have since become part of our musical lexicon."
This year's collaboration between these two artists does not reach the great heights of their first time, but it is a decent release worth listening to it.

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you for uploading this classic Eno / Byrne compilation to your blogspot for others out here in cyberspace to enjoy. A classic release with heavy use of sampling (ala "Industrial Music" -or- "Experimental / Ambient Music".
Thank you,
