David Byrne & Brian Eno

Fear Thou Not, Albert, you have found the other Illuminati.

Byrne, Eno, Fripp, Sylvian, Czukay, ... (go on, go on) Such incredible musical richness to discover for those willing to listen!

Talking of which, anyone else here indulged in the frippertronic magic of "No Pussyfooting"? I had stretched the envelope before with the likes of Beefheart et.al., with this record it was beyond doubt to my classmates that I had finally left orbit.

I pretty much like everything Eno. I like "My Life In the Bush of Ghosts' but it's not my favorite. I favor "Another Green World" and his other mellower efforts. "Drawn from Life" by Eno and Peter Schwalm is one of the best recordings ever IMO. If you like Eno's stuff and haven't heard it, check it out. Production and sonics are about the best you'll find too.

Anyone else notice that a few cuts from My Life in the Bush of Ghosts were used on the soundtrack to "Wall Street", apparently, Stone is a fan!

Albertporter,I know what you mean. I love Ghost in the Bush and Another Green World. I've learned to let it go when it comes to music. I mean this is real music not just some notes put together. Good melody,lyrics, and someone that can sing like D. Byrne.
D. Byrne and B. Eno really complement each other like P. McCartney/John Lennon, or even D. Fagen/W. Becker.

My favorite David Byrne album is definitely "The Red & the Black" by Jerry Harrison.
Second is "the Knee Plays".
David has not made a studio album yet that equals any of Talking Heads catalog.
Like so many egocentric rock stars, Lennon, Roger Waters, McCartney, Stummer, Jones, Jagger, Peter Wolf, Richards, their solo outings never seem to have that great chemistry of their respective bands best or even worse output.
Jerry, Tina & Chris obviously are a very important ingredient to David's visions, "Naked" for example is the band at its very best.
I miss Talking Heads and the immaculate sound and vision that only the four of them can truly create.
