David Byrne & Brian Eno - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

The original album was great (I have it on vinyl), but the remastered, re-released version is very different - inferior, IMHO.

[Hamilton Saint]

I can't figure out Brian Eno, is he a genius or is he simply a crackpot? Or is he both? :rolleyes:
Myself, i'm chillaxing with a bit of Roots Manuva - Brand New Second Hand.

Brian Eno has created, and contributed to, many great albums.

His peak was the middle 70s. I loved Another Green World and Before and After Science. And his mid-70s "ambient music" LPs were excellent: e.g., Discreet Music, Music For Airports, Music For Films, On Land. He's also done great stuff with others (as musician and/or producer): Talking Heads, Robert Fripp, Harold Budd, Jon Hassell.

Highly recommended!

Fantastic performance of one of the best songs ever written. Just a shame for me that I never got to see them in their prime...

Hamilton, i'll give Brian Eno's stuff a more in-depth listen as he's got a rather extended discography on Spotify! Anything in particular that you would recommend as 'entry level' Eno?

King Midas Sound, Pantha Du Prince, Kemper Norton and Amon Duul II. Not all at once, but again and again.

Agreed.

'Bush of Ghosts' (1981 FFS and still fresh as f*ck!) is a classic and has been a source of inspiration and samples for many 'modern' electronic artists.

Eno is a legend. As artist, producer and collaborator.
I love the early Roxy Music stuff.
And let's not forget David Bowie's best work; 'Low', 'Heroes' and 'Lodger' were all Eno fuelled.

[St Landrew]

Ha! Just this moment finished listening to For Your Pleasure.

I know it's a bit corny in parts, but In Every Dream Home, A Heartache (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSniBxXjK_8) is just brilliant.

[St Landrew]

What with old Doug Fieger from The Knack dying the other day, I've been meaning to listen to My Sharona (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=021WZBh1R4I) again. I don't suppose I've heard it in 10-15 years. I remember when it first came out, in 1979, how it immediately sounded familiar. Remember, we were awash with Punk back then, and so to hear this tune, come crashing into the charts, loaded with 1960's Pop and RnB stuff was quite a knock out. I thought I hated it. It was American, but it sounded so British. It reminded me of The Dave Clark Five, The Beatles, Dave Dee, Dozy Beaky Mick & Titch, The Troggs, etc... I loved it, and I think I still do, in a way. Not for the lyrics or the story of the song, but for the twang, the brashness and the excitement. A great tune.

I'm insanely jealous. My mate is on the phone to me now from the gig and it sounds brilliant. I saw them last Sunday and they were truly fantastic. Got mistaken for the lead singer as well, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing? They're currently performing Submarine.

There's a CD collection called Desert Island Selection on the EG label. It is an 11-track compilation of stuff taken from five albums released 1973-1978 (Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy, Another Green World, Before and After Science, and Music For Airports). Probably a good place to start.

I have 13 of his albums (some are solo discs, some are duets: e.g., with Robert Fripp, with Harold Budd, with Jon Hassell).

If you like quirky, upbeat rock stylings like Roxy Music, then the first two solo albums will be of interest (Here Come The Warm Jets and Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy).

If you like laid-back singer-songwriter stylings, you might like Before and After Science.

If you like synthesizer noodlings (what he calls "ambient" music - a kind of intellectualised muzak!), you might prefer Discreet Music (which features a whole side of variations on Pachelbel's Canon).

If you like ethereal, spacey stuff, you might like Music for Airports, or the work he does with trumpeter Jon Hassell - Possible Musics, or the keyboard work with Harold Budd - Plateaux of Mirror.

Lots to choose from. Maybe start with the compilation and take it from there?!

Don't suppose you made it to Treworgey Tree Fayre in '89?

The last of the great festivals. Anarchy.

The Levellers (clearly a bunch of lightweights): "We played at Treworgey. That was a mad one ... I was scared there, genuinely scared. That was too much, it was crazy - I like crazy - but people died there ... I'm glad I was there, but it doesn't go down as one of my greatest festivals."

Manji wouldn't like that.

[Hamilton Saint]

Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

She does it much too slowly - almost like a dirge. I prefer the Bert Jansch version.

[Pancake]

Whiskeytown - Faithless Street

[Block 5]

Manji wouldn't like that.

I'm not a fan of 'best of' albums, but this is a great introduction to Zapp and pretty easy to get hold of.

Various live recordings by Blur

Prefer them in the big Blur/Oasis debate which nobody cares about any more and ended about 10 years ago.

The Monkees - For Pete's Sake

Brilliant..!

For Pete's Sake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ya4_0GtRis)

They may have been the first made-for-media band, but they provided us with some excellent tunes. The above oozes 1960's feel. It's the end credits from their show, not the full song.

[St Landrew]

Been listening to a BBC radio drama series The Diary of Samuel Pepys. 6 hourly episodes filled with excellent detail from the 1660's. Ol' Pepys sure liked his women, but he was a real professional, and was involved in some fascinating events in history.
