David Byrne & Brian Eno


OK, here I go again touting about some new music that I've bought lately. I've always been a Talking Head fan and this disc is great. Nice with flowing melodies. Just enough electro tech. to make it interesting. David Bryne is very underrated. That guy uh, oh yea Springsteen wishes he could be this talented. Very seductive and mesmerizing. Seems that a lot of good music comming out lately. Also like the Madeleine Peyroux "bare bones" plus, the best of Bill Frisell Vol. 1| Folk Songs. It seems in the hardest times that music is the best. Or maybe I'm just more open to it.

Highlight of Byrne's career for me was 'Fear of Music' and 'Remain in Light'
For Eno it was "Before and After Science"
... But I'd like to check out the new one and see what happens...
Gotta listen again but wan't blown down.Not that "Bush Of Ghosts" was anywhere near TH's "Buildings And Food" or "Remain In Light" which is TH's Magnum opus (damn I wish I hadn't missed that tour with Worel,Belew et al. led ot paired down great Live S.Track to one of best concert films even "Stop Making Sense".

Solo I like "David Byrne" and for Eno "Another Green Wold".Xiekitchen you'd like Cluster or solo work of Roedelius (who with Mobieus,who was more metallic machine driven muisc Mobieus,were Cluster)if your fave was "Befoe And After Science".They were on it.Love the typewriter used as pecussion on Eno's "Takin Tiger Mt".Roxy Music into Eno into his production for TH to U2 Really formed my pre-jazz cosciousness and made others like early Costello and Joe Jackson accesible.Great era.

Great discussion. This may be the first time I've seen "My Life In the Bush of Ghosts' mentioned in Audiogon forums. I usually don't stray that deeply into my fav's for fear of losing everyone.

Heck, I get dissed for mentioning Bjork and she's accessible compared to this album and Scape Records Jan Jelinek.

I love "The Jezebel Spirit," perhaps my favorite cut from that album.
