Brian Eno, David Byrne – My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
Essential listening from one of the great duo’s of modern electronic music, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts pieces together found vocals from unidentified radio hosts, smooth politicians, mountain singers, exorcists, Algerian Muslims and more into a visionary album that anticipated the “creative cross-pollination and technological innovation of contemporary dance music, world music, hip-hop, and alternative rock.” Beyond the creative genius of Eno and Byrne, iconic bass player Bill Laswell contributes his unique new-wave-funk-dub approach, adding a low-end groove that’s not to be understated.
