(2-LP set) Now approaching its 30th anniversary, 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-pollination and technological innovation of contemporary electronic dance music, world music, hip hop, and alternative rock. This updated edition includes several tracks that had been considered for but never made it to the original LP and a smart, informative historical/critical essay by author-musicologist-recording artist David Toop. Also featured are various drum, vocal, and ambient multitracks on Side 4.
