Brian Eno - David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts flac album

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is the first album by Brian Eno and David Byrne, released in February 1981. It integrates sampled vocals and found sounds, African and Middle Eastern rhythms, and electronic music techniques. It was recorded prior to Eno and Byrne's work on Talking Heads' album Remain in Light (1980), but sample clearance delayed its release by several months.

A pioneering work for countless styles connected to electronics, ambience, and Third World music, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts expands on the fourth-world concepts of Hassell/Eno work with a whirlwind 45 minutes of worldbeat/funk-rock (with the combined talents of several percussionists and bassists, including Bill Laswell, Tim Wright, David van Tieghem, and Talking Heads' Chris Frantz). The songs on My Life in the Bush of Ghosts present myriad elements from around the world in the same jumbled stew, without regard for race, creed, or color. As such, it's a tremendously prescient record for the future development of music during the 1980s and '90s.

As David Byrne describes in his liner notes, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts placed its bets on serendipity: "It is assumed that I write lyrics (and the accompanying music) for songs because I have something I need to 'express. I find that more often, on the contrary, it is the music and the lyric that trigger the emotion within me rather than the other way around  . An album that's built on serendipity- on Brian Eno fooling around with a new type of drum machine, on syncing the hook in a tape loop to a chorus, on finding the right horrors on the radio- can't score 100%. But even if you cut it some slack, crucial parts of the album don't sound as intriguing today as they once did- namely, all of the voices.

Recorded by Eno and Byrne in between their work on Talking Heads projects, the album integrates sampled vocals and found sounds, African and Middle Eastern rhythms, and electronic music techniques. The album has since been called a "pioneering work for countless styles connected to electronics, ambience and Third World music". The extensive use of sampling on the album is widely considered ground-breaking and innovative, though its actual influence on the sample-based music genres that later emerged continues to be debated.

Kraftwerk may have been the first to craft the essential electronic album in 1974′s Autobahn. But Brian Eno wasn’t far behind with his stunning Another Green World. From that point on, his work would evolve into new forms and shapes, while his production work with bands like Devo and the Talking Heads promised new, experimental sounds in new wave. While calling this album influential might be overkill, and presumptuous, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was an incredibly novel album at the time of its release, and remains a solid listen. What separates it from most modern electronica is its warmth.
