 It's Nearly Africa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Whether intentionally or not, My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts divides fairly neatly into an 'American side' and an 'African side': the gibbering voices and jerky, propulsive rhythms on the one, and a placid nocturnal drift on the other.
Generally though Bush Of Ghosts feels like the completion of a trilogy: the paranoia and crises of the Talking Heads' albums rewritten as a deep, strange dream of Africa.
Fear Of Music, Remain In Light and My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts haven't suffered as much as Simon's or Gabriel's records at the hands of reputation, but if their semi-classic status is well-established, they're still not much talked about.

y Life in the Bush of Ghosts is the last word in the avant garde/world music exploration first unveiled on Talking Heads’ “I Zimbra” and refined on the subsequent Remain in Light.
Perhaps the point is moot, since world musicians willingly embraced technical sophistication in the waning years of the 20th century.
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is a landmark album - twenty years on it’s still fresh - and fanned the dim flame of hope that, if extinguished, might have caused many a musical fan to throw themselves before the wheels of an unstoppable REO Speedwagon.

Bush does have some intelligence, but it is not the kind that is effective in political rhetoric.
By the time he unlayers the various levels of meaning in the heat of the moment, it's too late; and besides, the verbal contribution he'd like to make would be too complicated or multileveled to make sense in most casual situations.

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.
Darker and far more "left-field" than "Remain in Light", "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" is no easy listen, but with repeat playing it becomes equally addictive...

In my opinion, the three strongest tracks are the ones that draw from Middle Eastern sources for their vocals.
My two favorites were those with vocals sampled from Lebanese mountain singer Dunya Yusin: "The Carrier" and "Regiment".
I also noticed what seemed to be almost a sort of commentary by David Byrne upon politicians and televangelists (the latter are not slams on religion, in my opinion--rather, the *popularization* of it); the way sound clips are used seem to make both groups look a bit ridiculous at times.

 CD Times - Brian Eno/David Byrne
Taking its title from a novel by Amos Tutuola, this record was to be titled My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts and, from its release in 1982, would predate popular trends in electronic music by several years.
Each of these three tracks are littler more than formless bleeps that would have been better suited to a sound-effects album and, despite the reduced length, My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts would have been better had it ended with The Carrier, much as Remain In Light ended with the similar The Overload.
My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts will appeal not only to those fans of Eno, Byrne or Talking Heads, specifically those who favour I Zimbra and Remain In Light over any of their other releases, but also those who prefer clipped funk and sampling to what they might consider to be dull, white rock.

Marshall McLuhan would have loved the concept: sample the global media blitz, edit, add polyethnic rhythm tracks, name the results after a novel by Nigerian author Amos Tutuola and recycle them into the blitz.
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is an undeniably awesome feat of tape editing and rhythmic ingenuity.
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts does make me wonder, though, how Byrne or Eno would react if Dunya Yusin spliced together a little of "Animals" and a bit of "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch," then added her idea of a suitable backup.

You can see a pointer to the rhythmic outlook on 'Bush Of Ghosts' in the last Heads album he worked on- 'Remain In Light', although things probably started to germinate with the 'Fear of Music' album opener- "I Zimbra".
The way they merge the found recordings with the studio playing is fantastic and you would swear some of the vocals (the tracks which contain actual singing that is), were recorded live in the studio as the production is super crisp.
Egyptian singer Samira Tawfik contributes the fading in and out (treated)vocal on "A Secret Life", which is a very dreamy and drifting sound which sets the clock for the end of the session.
