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.

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.
More to discover
