Ok, this is freakin cool – and a very cool promotion

The 25th anniversary commercial release of Byrne’s and Eno’s “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts”, with new packaging and extra tracks is out soon. Coming later this month, you will be able to download for free two of the original tracks and the multitrack masters - the goal, to you have you remix / mash them up.

I am sorry, I just can not get over how cool that is. Anyone can just remix, use, mash up Brian Eno and David Byrne. No longer will it be the same as it ever was….

    Arr, Jeff, you beat me to the Bush of Ghosts post!
    Besides the coolness of this promotion, it’s hard to overestimate how important that album is, looking back. Eno and Byrne were sampling before sampling was POSSIBLE, using tape loops and improvising layered sample effects with multiple analog tape recorders playing while they beat the crap out of tin cans and chunks of plywood. They created a whole genre of music with that one album.
    That said, it was one of two albums I heard when I was in my preteens (the other was Afrika Bambataa’s “Planet Rock”) that freaked me out. I heard “Help Me Somebody” when I was around 8, and that was some scary shit.
