Music reviews of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

Music Review: Groundbreaking!
Rating: 5 Stars

Wgen I first heard this record I was completely blown away. IT was a completely new and unique fusion of ethnic music and modern technology. tracks such as Jezebel Spirit and Help Me Somebody remain incredible even to this day. Even if the sound has aged slightly (it is somewhat trebly by today's standards and the bass and guitar somewhat too newwavy...but i guess it was the time so...) I still consider this one of the ...100 best records i have.

Description of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

Released in 1981, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is a collaboration between ambient pioneer Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. On Ghosts, the two strong-willed musicians manage to come to a meeting of the minds, blending Byrne's herky-jerky funk with Eno's atmospheric sound sculpting. More than anything, this is a large album, intent on pushing itself to the front of the listener's consciousness. Abundant percussion (everything from booming tribal drums to eerie electronics) reverberates in the background while Byrne and Eno toss all manner of found sounds, field recordings, and radio broadcasts into the mix. What results is a groundbreaking album that introduced a generation to the dazzling possibilities offered by electronic recording techniques. Highlights include "The Jezebel Spirit," an electro-funk workout that uses a recording of an exorcism as its focal point, and "Very, Very Hungry," a mysteriously ethereal display of electronic percussion and large-scale sonic architecture. --S. Duda
