 | My Life in the Bush of Ghosts [Read More ...]
Description: Brian Eno and David Byrne's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts appears downright visionary. With its "found" vocals, cut-and-paste arrangements, funked-up rhythms and embrace of influences from all around the globe, the duo's controversial work anticipated the creative cross-pollinati... |
 | Pure Moods, Vol. I [Read More ...]
Description: New Age music, ambient electronica, and spiritualized hip-hop received their first major, K-Tel-like treatment in 1996 when Virgin Records assembled Pure Moods. The "As Seen on TV" compilation quickly became a hot seller, and it would be nice to think that its popularity has as m... |
 | The Catherine Wheel [Read More ...]
Description: Sounding more like a missing Talking Heads session than anything remotely like David Byrne's 1990s-era work, The Catherine Wheel is at root a display of funky, off-time rhythms and vamps with Byrne involved at every level. The music was composed and produced to accompany a Twyla ... |

Review: Note the bonus tracks:This is a great album, and has been reviewed better elsewhere, so this is more of a note. This version of the album has Qu'ran and Very Very Hungry. The original LP had Qu'ran as track 6 (track 1 on the 2nd side), and Very Very Hungry doesn't appear at all... |

Review: Still Sounds Good:As far as a pop album goes, this is a very well produced album. I'll admit I am biased as I was subjected to this at a good time in my life. However, I think you'll find some excellent production quality and musicianship. Such songs as "Monkey Man" display ve... |

Description: Three cheers for anyone who skips down roads not taken, but records as eclectic as this one are what keep David Byrne from approaching the level of success he had with the Talking Heads. Most intriguing here are the tracks co-produced with U.K. trip-hoppers Morcheeba, among them ... |

 | David Byrne [Read More ...]
Description: David Byrne may well be the smartest person in American pop music today, but a lot of good it does him. The man who created the Talking Heads and then demolished them is smart enough to realize that third-world rhythms are one doorway out of rock'n'roll's stuffy room, and he's sm... |

Review: essential:This Dutch import is available domestically for a lot less than $21. I picked it up new at my local record store for $13. Do a little searching off-site, I'm sure you can find it for less.
An absolutely amazing, seminal piece of sample-based composition, full of voic... |

Review: Good intentions- bad orchestration:Great composers aren't always good orchestrators. Prokofiev often needed help. Here, David Byrne hired someone to help with the orchestration, and, to be honest, it's a horrible job. There's a lot of good music here, and some of the musical c... |
