My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (album)
''My Life in the Bush of Ghosts'' is a studio album by Brian Eno and David Byrne, released in February 1981. It was Byrne's first album without his band Talking Heads. The album integrates sampled vocals and found sounds, African and Middle Eastern rhythms, and electronic music techniques. It was recorded before Eno and Byrne's work on Talking Heads' 1980 album ''Remain in Light'', but problems clearing samples delayed its release by several months. The extensive sampling on ''My Life'' is considered innovative, though its influence on later sample-based music genres is debated. ''Pitchfork'' named it the 21st best album of the 1980s, while ''Slant Magazine'' named it the 83rd. Recording Eno and Byrne first worked together on '' More Songs About Buildings and Food'', the 1978 album by Byrne's band Talking Heads. ''My Life in the Bush of Ghosts'' was primarily recorded during a break between the Talking Heads albums ''Fear of Music'' (1979) and ''Remain in Light'' (1980), both p ...
