My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

какие-то интересные звуки космические, но удовольствие чисто одноразовое. на постоянке я бы сошел с ума нахуй

Lyssnade bara på originalalbum. Till needle-låten. Mycket bättre än tidigare Eno-album. De tre sista låtarna är dock inte alls bra. Men i övrigt sköna kompositioner. Minst tre. Men nog inte tillräckligt för mer.

Extremely weird, most of it too much for me, but I liked a couple songs

The album is worth the cost of entry simply for the track Regiment—possibly one of my favorite tracks of all time. A whole album in that vein would be phenomenal! Alas, the rest of the album is, I don't know, jaring? There's other good stuff mixed around, and none of it is really bad. It's very experimental, so it kind of takes going in to it with a particular mindset. The feeling changes back and forth enough that it can't quite disappear into the background for focus work, so I guess that's something. I still keep this in my collection, but it doesn't get as much play as other Eno albums.

two legends of the game doing some experimental shit but man i just dont connect with it

There's some absolute bangers on here but a lot is a little too experimental

I've seen this called "important" and "vital" and who knows how many other words of inflated value. It's a decent enough album but the experimental sound combinations aren't really my thing. It's always hard to rate things that are THIS far outside one's wheelhouse. This record, to me, would make good background noise, but I'd never reach for it off my shelf to actually listen to for entertainment.

Pretty interesting! I didn't really know what to expect

Very few people know just how much Len Houmous and Brian Eno don’t get on! Even after Len released his hate record ‘What Does ‘e Know’ people still didn’t cotton on! 3.2 3/11 Regiment

Intricately produced but not super fun to listen to.

Decent listen.

Have no clue what I just listened to but it had some really good parts in there. Fave song: Regiment

Not exactly sure what I just listened to. The first half songs all had a unexplainable ick, and the second half was just weird. Despite that, I honestly actually quite enjoyed this one. I think if I listen to this album like 10 more times it will become a 6. I also find the fact that Regiment and The Carrier wasn't available to me hilarious as it is imo the 2 best songs in the album. Favourite Song: Regiment Honourable Mention: The Carrier, Help Me Somebody, The Jezebel Spirit

I've learned I don't appreciate music that much when there isn't much lyrics with some songs. That's why only a few stood out with this album. Enjoyable music, but not something I would listen to in my everyday.

Pretty abstract; quite interesting at times, but a bit of work to get through

Rock

Definitely experimental and pretty interesting. It probably isn't something that I'll listen to again but I can see what they were trying to do. My understanding is the heavy use of sampling like in this album was pretty revolutionary and influential.

De esos discos experimentales extrañísimos que aunque no me la paso mal y tienen tracks bastante curiosos, no pienso volver a escuchar jamás. Y no porque sea malo, vaya, están ahí Brian Eno y David Byrne, pero el experimento se sale mucho de mis gustos. Interesante, sin embargo,

Well, it wasn't boring. But a little more melody would have gone a long way. Still, one of the more listenable Eno projects for me.

First listen

This was about what I expected based on who made it, and the cover. Weird stuff, but it's amazing to hear how sampling existed even before it got mainstream.

Overall: 5/10 I hate to give an album made by two one of my favourite producers and one of my favourite musicians such a low rating, but this didn't wow me the way I was really hoping it would. There's lots of cool sounds being explored here, and moments that remind me of the best parts of both artists. I just can't get behind all the chanting. Maybe one day I'll enjoy it more, and I admittedly need to listen to more of Brian Eno's solo stuff, but for now it's a pass from me. Fav Song: Moonlight in Glory

Rock experimental atmosférico. Hipnótico

There is a lot of interesting stuff here, and a lot of good snippets. It definitely has the prominent base and jammin percussion of the Talking Heads, but I found myself mostly wishing that I were listening to the funkier and more danceable Talking Heads. Additionally, I’m not so sure about three songs sampling Black preachers. Doesn’t work super great coming from two white guys post 2020 etc.

Not my thing.

Brian Eno ran so Moby could trip on his dick

Just not really my thing

Interesting.

Some cool tracks but overall a bit meandering.

This is strong for the first 8 or so tracks but it outstays its welcome at over 1 hour long, else it might have made 4 stars.

Interesting but a tough listen compared to other collaborative works with eno.

A bit psycadelic and weird but mostly nice to listen to.

The nice thing about this is I can just give David Byrne the credit for all the good things and Brian Eno the credit for the bad ones. 5/10

2 GOATs combine to make a not GOAT album

It was alright. Not typically the type of stuff I like, but pretty cool.

Not for me, this one. Two legends of the game combining to produce something significantly less than the sum of its parts. My overall view is that it doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it Eno, is it Talking Heads, is it a perfect combo? Not sure.

interesting album....Will probably revist this to see if I like it more, but there were definitely a few songs I enjoyed straight away, Regiment, The Jezebel Spirit, Moonlight in Glory.

Regiment is such an awesome track

My review from 2019: I don't know how to rate this one. I understand it is 'good' and an innovation at the time, but it also doesn't really do anything for me. Tracks 3, 4, 5, and 8 are the strongest, to me. But it's a 3 star album, maybe 3.5 2025: I wanted to like this more than I did. Could be just the day I'm listening, but I didn't get much out of this. I did like the back half (the Eno half?) more, which might put me in the minority, not sure. But my favorite track was The Jezebel Spirit. Love TH, love Eno, so I will revisit this and see if it was just a bad day. A 3 for now.

Good background music, but nothing more in my books 1 - would not listen to again 2 - if some one played it, I'd probably just zone it out 3 - didn't hate it, didn't love it 4 - saved some songs from the album 5 - would buy the album or already own it

Started off super strong, I thought. Sorta overstayed its welcome towards the end.

Enjoyed this more going into that I thought I would. Lots of weird sounds, but overall really fun.

Wasn't super familiar with Brian Eno's work but could immediately hear David Byrne's influence and I'm a big Byrne fan. I liked a lot of this. It was weird, silly, but a lot of it was catchy. On the back half of the album I felt like it slowed down a lot and I lost interest but the first half I probably would have given a 4/5

Best Song: Regiment

This would be a 1 if the production wasn’t so ahead of its time.

Gearing up for ANOTHER ENO album in this list. But glad to see David Byrne is part of it. Getting a bit bored and repeatedly non-plussed by this guy. Nothing groundbreaking. String some samples together, great. A little more ambient, sample heavy, funky than others, that grabbed me slightly but still nothing to write home about. Suppose it was particularly unique for its time and introducing sampling in a new way.

This was an interesting listen. It sounds fresh and unique even if it was released in 1981 and I can see why it was a pioneer album at that time because of all the sampling and experimentalism. The songs themselves aren't that memorable or enjoyable, though. They are ambient, while some of them sound very much like Talking Heads songs. 3.5 stars at my first listen.

Crazy to think this was 1981. Not something I can imagine listening to frequently, though.

Not the worst bleeps and blorps I've ever heard but not really worth listening to again unless I do a dissertation on the history of electronic music and the alientation of the self in our technological age.

I was really REALLY hesitant to listen to this album. I have no interest in hearing what I thought was folky ramblings of two old fucks. Yes, I know what David Byrne represents. Brian Eno, not so much. I haven’t felt much of a wow factor after the first few songs. The album to me has settled into its sound. That sound is heard on the first track. It’s consistent, sample driven and slightly odd. Almost a spoken word album but it’s a little too funky for spoken word. Choice cut: Mea Culpa

Trippy, leans too much on the whole "Arabic exotic world" as a trope, but I think this is a fine album.

Really good chill music. I love the multicultural depth and use of so many different instruments. Feels like an album I could show my Dad and make him think that my music taste doesn't suck.

i'm admittedly not very familiar with Brian Eno or his work, so I had no idea what to expect other than the possibility that it may be more experimental in nature. i'll be listening to the original tracklist only America Is Waiting - 5/5 Mea Culpa - 4/5 Regiment - 5/5 Help Me Somebody - 5/5 The Jezebel Spirit - 4/5 Qu'ran - 3/5 Moonlight in Glory - 3/5 The Carrier - 3/5 A Secret Life - 3/5 Come with Us - 2/5 Mountain of Needles - 3/5 Average score - 3.6/5 (rounding down) this was pretty interesting to listen to. i'm almost certain that the fact David Byrne also worked on this album made it so. it kinda felt like i was just listening to some instrumental tracks off of a Talking Heads album, especially between track 3-6 (not that i'm complaining) i found the Arabic-inspired tracks by Eno & Byrne in the last half to be kinda cool, though i enjoyed them a little less. perhaps it's just not clicking for me in the same way. regardless, i think this was a nice introduction to his music

Brian Eno and David Byrne take a lot of drugs and samples...lets see what happens. It was interesting to listen. A couple of tracks I really liked. Some with some definite David Byrne Influence. For the most part i would have preferred more traditional tracks, but It was ok to listen. 3.5 stars

+1 for influence and concept. General appreciation, but probably something I wouldn't be able to pick out of a hat. Argument to be made about cultural appropriation vs appreciation.

i understand what they were going for

Needs another listen.

pretty good sometimes, borderline insufferable at others. but still very creative and for that it's not a complete waste of time

I've never listened to David Byrne outside of The Talking Heads. Brian Eno is a very famous name, but I couldn't tell you why. I'm assuming this is a Dangermouse / MF Doom type collaboration. "Mea Culpa" is unusual. It seems like this is going to be an experimental ambient type album, which I'm not a big fan of. Decent background music for reviewing code changes to though. "Help Me Somebody" is funky. The album puts my mind into 'ambient' mode and I'm not really paying attention to the words in the samples. This wasn't a bad album, but also it was just weird and didn't have many positives. It was occasionally interesting, but generally just ambient music. I listen to this in the same way as with my brown noise machine. 5/10

Album is cool. It’s odd and ahead of its time. Will return.

I wish I would have heard this the decade it was released instead of 44 years later. At times, hypnotic and at times just repetitive. I somewhat enjoyed listening to it, but doubt I’ll listen to it again in the near future. Maybe 44 years from now.

Weird stuff...but very interesting...unique...

I had it on in the background whilst working and it just disappeared into the back ground - noodling along with a few interesting noises / samples and unfortunately a bit too much slap bass. The songs never really seemed to go anywhere - and whilst it did make it an easy listen and good to work to I would like the odd moment of crescendo or beauty.

I get this. But I could have used a little more standard sign writing to pull me in.

This album is almost good. I can very nearly get into the songs but there is a lack of payoff. They lay out how the track is going to sound and that's that for the next three or four minutes. No change. Pick a track and randomly pick somewhere to go to in said track, and then pick somewhere else and there's literally no change. It piqued my interest from the get go, but that enthusiasm dwindled with every passing track. There's a lot of cool sounds, but little musical cohesion of a traditional song structure. Throughout this album I was almost liking it but it just gets lost in a bit of a mess of sounds. It gets a bit tiresome and one-note. To be fair, I do reckon it would grow on me in all honesty, but for now I can only go by my reactions after two listens and I also reckon it could easily jump from a three to a five if and when it clicks with me.

3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12,

This is... experimental funk rock? Is avant-funk a thing? Also very samply. Also very afro-beat. This is a very strange album, and I like it more than most of the weirdos on this list. It still has the same basic problems, though, of having flashes of great ideas that could be whole songs, buried in a mess of other sounds that don't ultimately come together into something cohesive. It's interesting, and I think these two upstarts Brian Eno and David Byrne have a future in front of them, but it's ultimately a bit too messy for me.

Það verður að segjast að Eno hefur oft verið áheyrilegri og Byrne líka. Þetta er mögulega einhvers konar sampl-tímamótaverk, en það eldist ekkert sérstaklega vel. Töff element og áhugavert á köflum, en ekki eitthvað sem ég verð að hlusta á aftur. Þristur simpatico.

2.8 I feel like that could have done some lyrics. As it is it felt like a selection of outtakes from a Talking Heads album that they couldn't be bothered to put some words to. Not entirely sure why it's here.

This feels like I'm waiting for a table at Rainforest Café. 3/5

Not too bad, it was kind of fun and different.

Now this is what I'm doing this list for! There's no way I would have listened to this album if I wasn't going through this project. Did I love it? No. Did I appreciate that it exists? Absolutely! It must have blown so many minds when it came out in 1981. Well, a few minds anyway, of the people that actually listened to it. I doubt this one was burning up the charts.

Knowing a little about this album already, i kinda know I'd get more out of it if I read some more about it, thought more about it and engaged with it more. However, in the spirit of the list I just have to takeit on the time I spent with it on the day and honestly it didn't wow or bore me much either way.

I’ve lost track of how many albums featuring Brian Eno we’ve had by now. I just know that one he comes up, you are in for a ride. This one wasn’t as weird as I was expecting. Really it comes down to a great mix of tunes, kind of like listening to “Ronald Jenkees” in early youtube days or Marc Rebillet. In that light, this sounds very modern. Favourite track probably Jezebel Spirit, great music to have on while programming.

Pretty interesting but zany experience.

Unexpectedly great workout music. Thanks David Bowie and Brian Eno! Love y’all forever xoxo

what the fuck even is this man. i feel like i took 9gs of shrooms again.

6/10…art rock-pop / experimental

Second half saved this from the dreaded “two” or “one.” The shift to more recognizable musical styles with world influences helped me make some mental sense of the work. I think the first half sounded different to Eno and Byrne’s ears. They’re geniuses, but that means living on another planet sometimes.

Like a movie

That was interesting, sometimes groovy.

Interesting instrumental album with African & Middle Eastern rhythms at times. Brian Eno collaborated with David Byrne for this album, who I learned was the frontman for Talking Heads. This compels me to say: this was better than any Talking Heads album I've heard.

A good album. I think this depends on being in a certain mood that I wasn't quite in when listening. I felt I would have enjoyed this more if it was something I was intentionally reaching for, but hearing it out of that mood, I could tell it was quality but not what I wanted to hear at the time.

I respect its importance, but it's not a great listen in and of itself.

Honestly this is just noise

When I first bought this cd I was really confused. I love talking heads, I love Brian Eno & David Byrne how could I not love this collab. I was like nope. Now when I say I love Eno apparently I love 1974-1978 Eno. But now I’m old and like some ambient, occasionally. When I say I love world music this is sorta what I mean. I am glad I gave it another listen because it is pretty neat but I don’t know if it’s going in to my regular rotation.

Thoughts before listening: I love David Byrne, but Brian Eno can be a bit hit or miss with me. Eno released a lot of ambient music which isn't my favorite sound, so if this album is in that vein, I doubt I'll be into it. The cover art leads me to believe that this will be the case, but David Byrne's presence on the album at least indicates there will be vocals. Brian Eno definitely produced a lot of albums I enjoy (including some by Talking Heads), so perhaps this will be okay. Review: Oh ok...yeah this is more akin to the ambient soundscapes I think of with Eno, but with a bit a world music beat that is perhaps David Byrne's contribution. Apparently this album was recorded prior to Eno producing Remain in Light so it makes sense that they were playing around with rhythms and styles that would eventually end up on that album. This sounds like movie score music and while its certainly not bad, it doesn't do a ton for me either, ultimately just ending up as somewhat interesting background music. 3-stars

This album is 40% groove, 60% exorcism. I feel spiritually disrupted.

2.5, didn't really do it for me. Kinda disappointed.

Decent bump of a soundtrack. Could have it regularly in the background

an interesting listen i guess but not something id revisit. both eno and byrne obviously have much much better material, but this was cool ig

Brian Eno and David Byrne have a storied history together but My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts never caught fire for me.

i can see how this would be foundational/earth-shattering but it wasn't all that enjoyable for me personally to listen to :{

the thing about a brian eno/david byrne collaboration is i find myself drawn to the interesting things byrne is doing and losing interest when eno takes the wheel. this album starts off like a talking heads b-sides collection but a third of the way in, gets completely mired in the ambient swamp. the sounds and instruments at the start of songs like a secret life really drive home that stuck-in-the-jungle-forever feeling. with the album being four seconds shy of a full hour, they're gonna have to do more than playing around on a synthesizer to keep me invested. favorites: america is waiting, mea culpa, help me somebody, very very hungry favorites:

This record walks a fine line between being refreshingly fun and redundant.

I too have a hard time coming to terms with my life in the bush of ghosts

meh

Strange but influential i guess?

sort of all over the place as far as experimental sound design goes - the continuity comes in the unpredictability.

Strange. David Byrne + Brian Eno create an odd audio landscape that was a bit difficult to listen to. I didn’t hate it, but it’s highly unlikely that I’ll seek this out again.

There was some odd stuff on this album, but overall not bad.

The percussion on here is super interesting and the sampling is pretty cool. Not 100% sure when you would listen to something like this. Like it’s little too weird to be danced to. The soundscape on Mountain Of Needles had me floating. Favorites were Regiment, Help Me Somebody, and Mountain Of Needles.

Like Remain in Light but less accessible

Kinda fun for a while, definitely very early for this type of music Got a little repetitive

3.5

Great album art. Quite experiential music. Pretty good but wouldn’t listen again.

Minus one star for failure to feature the contributions of other singers in the title track.

two autistic guys met up to make noises together

I went into this hoping to like it because I figured all the cool kids would. I didn't really like the first track and it felt a bit too 'arty' for me. But by Regiment I got into it lots more and quite enjoyed it by the end.

Went on a tad too long, but enjoyable enough!

Some nice arrangements on here, at times timeless, Regiment a very funky rift. But as an album it kind of lost me a bit, sounded like it could've been written as a soundtrack to a movie. I'm getting 80's deadbeat good cop, being tracked by Internal Affairs, heavy smoker, drink problem, on his 3rd marriage which is on the rocks, lost his cop partner in a knife fight, chasing Russian terrorists who want to blow up New York....you know the sort!

No David Byrne vocals, sounds like a movie soundtrack

This was quite a listen. Not my favorite, but a really cool experience, and sounds like it was recorded last year. Very good background music for the most part, and the talent and inspiration on display was really amazing. However, because it's not something I would really ever listen to again, I'm giving it three stars.

Almost stressful in arrangements, without enough relief

You can hear a lot of the Talking Heads experimental stuff in this as a full blown exploration. Interesting and very cool at times. My love for songs like I Zimbra and Crosseyed and Painless sort of work on my dislike of electronica.

I probably won’t revisit My Life in the Bushes, but I appreciate what Eno and Byrne were trying to do. https://open.substack.com/pub/richcain/p/project-1001-my-life-in-the-bush?r=4ztyq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

I was expecting something like “Heroes” but just got a more primitive “Since I Left You”.

Favorite Track: The Jezebel Spirit

I was excited for this album when I saw who it was, but then surprised by what it actually was. A cacophony of samples melded together by the ears of Eno and Byrne. The shock of the decision to forgo "traditional" vocals makes this album a little less enjoyable for me as a listener, but academically, it is super cool and interesting. I don't think I would just listen to this, but I want to know more about it and how it was made.

Album 655 of 1001 Brian Eno/David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (1981) Rating : 3 / 5 Meh. Supposedly groundbreaking album "celebrated for its innovative use of sampling and world music elements, blending ambient, avant-funk, and experimental rock styles". Interesting...but that is about it.

had some good highlights, maybe not solid all the way through

This is fine. I could see its influence on bands like Tortoise and such.

3.5/5

Reminds me of Remain in Light without the lyrics. Pretty interesting mix of exotic rhythms and electronica, loops and found? conversation and song. Many of the words are barely discernible some are in a language I don't know. 3.5 stars. It deserves another listen. Apparently made before R ln Light with random tape and sound samples. The first half was more interesting.

Interesting and at times fun. Really liked the suggested songs from Spotify after the last song on this album played.

I imagine this one won't be very popular but I actually mostly enjoyed it. Very rhythmic and I particularly liked the sort of Arab or middle eastern aesthetic present on a lot of the songs. No particular favorites because the songs tended to blend together.

Interesting music, I enjoyed this as background music. I’m not familiar enough with this genre to have much of an opinion on the album when compared to other works.

Almost skipped this, but I’m glad I didn’t. Deserves a closer 2nd listen - not a Brian Eno fan per se, but enough stood out to make me want to relisten.

I don’t know what’s happening but it sounds good.

Là c’est du concept : album fait à partir de collages de discours, émissions, journal, reportages entendus à la radio, avec pour accompagnement un gros travail sur les percussions, des nappes de synthés, de la basse, de la guitare et des montages sonores très divers. C’est franchement aride et parfois dissonant, c’est évidemment en avance sur beaucoup de choses (sorti en 1981 !) et autrement plus écoutable que “Revolution 9” qui peut venir à l’idée. “Mea Culpa” par exemple a une belle tension, “Regiment” et ses chants arabes, la tête finit par bouger sur “Help me somebody”. Ca se dilue un peu au fur à mesure de l’album, voire ça s’étend doucement dans la plus grande indifférence suis fière de world ambient. Disons que pour la première moitié on va les remercier d’avoir défriché le terrain et laisser ce LP à d’autres groupes pour qu’ils le digèrent et nous le ressortent à petite dose, de manière plus aimable et compréhensible, lors des trentes années suivantes de rock indé.

2.5 stars. One of those influential but not a great listen records. The African sampling was cool but a lot of the inventive drum loops and soundscapes which were probably more groundbreaking at the time are nothing special now.

Haunted world music befitting of its title. I adore both of the gentlemen behind the record, but I ultimately have a hard time truly connecting with it despite its intriguing ideas.

So experimental and weird Favorites: Regiment, Help Me Somebody

I understand how this could be influential, but this is not some easy listening. I’m going to lean higher than I feel most would, but it’s not for everyone.

I appreciate Brian Eno but sometimes stuff like this is a chore to listen to.

01) America Is Waiting - 6,0 02) Mea Culpa - 7,0 03) Regiment - 7,5 04) Help Me Somebody - 6,5 05) The Jezebel Spirit - 7,0 06) Very, Very Hungry - 6,5 07) Moonlight in Glory - 6,0 08) The Carrier - 6,5 09) A Secret Life - 6,5 10) Come with Us - 6,0 11) Mountain of Needles - 6,0 TOTAL: 6,50 (65/100) Current ranking: 282/381

Strange and creepy but ok

This was clearly the stuff that was too weird for the Talking Heads albums. Eno and Byrne put some weird stuff out on this one. This didn't particularly grab me while listening passively. I am intrigued though and feel like a more concentrated listen is in order. This also felt like indie pioneer work that I could hear reflected in lots of the stuff I listen to today. Anyway, need some more listens to form a true opinion on this one.

Historically significant, with layers and layers of samples, radio noise, tv sound clips, and the classic herky-jerky set of beats. It opened the door for many more sample-based records - found sounds, "this is what the city sounds like", etc.

Seemed like an album from 15 years later. No memorable songs, but solid throughout.

Innovative, enjoyed the sampling and percussion.

I don't really have the energy to process this right now. It was kind of interesting, but I'm not really into this style of ambient/electronic music

It was an interesting album and I could definitely hear the Talking Heads styling -- there were a few songs that I thought were going to break into "This is not my beautiful house" a couple times. Overall I enjoyed it, but the experimental meandering of instrumentals isn't something I think I'll seek out again.

I'm a huge fan of both Eno and David Byrne. But somehow the whole is less than the sum of the parts. They just don't work together.

Interesting and fun listen with diverse and original sounds. The problem is that it feels too experimental at times leaving most of it not sounding like fully fleshed-out tracks. A very influental project nonetheless, and I can see why. Best song: Regiment Worst song: Come with Us

This was sneaky good!

6/10 Different and not unpleasant to listen to, but very little emotional connection or meaning. Highlights: America is Waiting The Jezebel Spirit

Easy to see how this was influential. The latter tracks are more experimental and ambient.

A lot better than I'd expect. It actually shows me how the two artists have quite a lot in common in terms of their mix of the analog and synthetic. Definitely thought this would be a lot less appealing based on the artists being known for their avant garde approaches and potential clash but the instrumentals are overall nice. Some feel more David byrne inspired like help me somebody and america is waiting, and defiant. Others feel like brian took the reins like mea culpa and very very hungry and a secret life. Others feel completely new and perfect blends like mountain of needles, two against three, new feet. My only issue is that any song that I didn't mention didn't really grab me and there are 18 tracks.

Prefer my ambient stuff to be a bit more chill, some of this was a little jarring. But also some of it was really good. I also listened to the full hour, when the OG is actually on 39mins. So I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Simpsons: Yes (David Byrne)

First listen. Ok.

Brian Eno and David Byrne have separately made some of my favorite music. Together, they're not as "chocolate and peanut butter" as I expected. Perhaps my rating is a result of my high expectations, but as I listened with an open mind, I didn't groove to this record all that much. Some tracks stood out, but overall, it was really okay.

This album was a lot, not sure I really enjoyed it, but it’s ambitious for sure

This album is better than I remember. Some really sick grooves in here, but it suffers from being super bloated. This is what happens when two autistic young men with musical superiority complexes are allowed to work together with no outside influence.

Brian Eno & David Byrne experimenting with found sounds, samples and Afro beats sounds exactly like I expected to. It’s good for what it is but what it is is not really my jam.

Huh?? What’s this. First song. Kind of sick honestly. Fun track. Not much to say. Love the frantic sampling to start track 2. It kind of stayed that way didn’t it. Kind of faded into the background. Fun sample here. Hell yeah. Medieval era wailing over the funk riff. This one rules. Less good. This one sounds a little too happy and the guitar sample is kind of bugging me. Funky redux. Cool sampling with the scary religious man. Another decent one. Less great. The repetition is getting to be a lot. The very hungry jezebel. New book for pious youngsters. Uhhh this one is another weird soundscape. Just fine. Dragging by a little now. The sounds are cool, but there’s not enough for me to latch onto here. I know when I start discussing the album, the songs are just sort of there. Here we go. YES. Creepy, crawling, haunting. Beautiful. This is a fantastic song. Another banger to end the album. They really went the creepy route near the end Apparently I have to go to YouTube to hear qa’ran due to protests from the Islamic council. First off, fuck you. Your attachment to a man-manufactured deity should in no way impact the real world. If you want to like that shit, go nuts, but keep it out of real life. It’s caused nothing but human anguish for centuries. That goes for Jesus nuts and everybody else who believes in a magic man in the sky. Wait out this life patiently and silently while you wait for your reward or whatever. Emphasis on silent. Irregardless, this song is absolutely fantastic. Brooding groove with chilling sampling. This album is an odd one. It got a little hyper repetitive in the middle but it’s bookended by brilliance. So many cool ideas and while not perfect, a truly unique experience. 3-3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Regiment, Come with Us, Qa’Ran

Easily the best snippety-samply record that’s popped up so far. Guess 90s club music sets a low bar (pun intended). Go figure it would be Eno and Byrne who clear it. First half better than second, but all in all a decent listen.

Might be a 4, must listen again

I have this on vinyl and hot this great reminder to spin it (it’s been a long while). It was better than I remembered it being and I will make it a bigger part of my vinyl rotation!

Great sampling material

I’ve liked everything from Brian Eno up to now. Not sure what this is. It’s not terrible, but I can say it’s good, either.

This album is Talking Heads in all but name. Not really bad, but also, not entirely my cup of tea either. 2.5/5

I was worried that I was not going to like this at all. But I was pleasantly surprised.

ADHD music. Fine for blasting through work with a huge caffeine buzz. I don't think I would sit down and actively listen to this album.

Ended up liking this more in the end than when I first put it on. Fun sampling, obviously experimental for the time, and foundational for stuff to come. Found myself grooving a bit to a few of these, especially the ones that sound a little more like Talking Heads - Regiment, Help Me Somebody. Good background music. Torn somewhere between a 3 and 4 on this but will pull back because I realistically won’t come back to this - but enjoyed the ride and happy I heard it. Now more familiar with Eno beyond the crossword puzzle.

🎧Thriller followed by My Life In The Bush of Ghosts. Hard to think of two more different albums. And they were released a year apart from each other. This is sone bizarre shit, innovative for its time, and still a fascinating listen in 2024. Favorite tracks: The Jezebel Spirit and Very, Very Hungry

Liked a couple of songs better than the previous Brian Eno album, but most others were too experimental for my taste.

Brian Eno is clearly very talented and there were a few songs in here which were class but a lot of this felt like it was unfinished to me. There were a few bits with a decent core of a song which didn't seem to develop. I think the Eno solo album we had before was far better and the more angular guitar songs on this album seemed to be getting towards that album. It wasn't bad, there were lots of parts I liked but as an album I don't think ill come back. 2.5.

I liked this album overall, but my main gripe is that the samples are too "loud". The Jezebel Spirit - the knocking drumming (toms?) completely overshadows the exorcism, and makes it slightly too difficult to make out any changes or progression through the rest of the track, leading to boredom. Samples were cool, arrangement of the samples I didn't like, and I preferred the Before and After Science.

I liked movies more

Very, very interesting. And very international. Interesting in that the songs are very similar and yet so different. International as in Deep Forest visits the Middle East and goes electronica with spirits and ghosts. I give it a (2.8*s)

What do you get when team up two musical genius weirdos? A collaboration of kings that produces a genius weirdo album. Started off worried with the 1st two tracks but it picked up and by the end I felt like I had been on a wild adventure through an electro-jungle. I expected more singing from Byrne, maybe he was doing all the ghosty triballing? Some classic old school electronica that paved the way. I'll take some more Drian Beno from the list please...3.4.

Interesting stuff, idk if it'll go into the rotation but i liked it and it scratched the "new music" itch for today.

This album is quite interesting but I'm not sure it's suited to listen to for a day and move on to the next one. It's experimental, incredibly well produced and contains some great moments

Boy, what a bunch of quirky yet funky grooves, if only two extremely talented vocalists were attached to this, it would be better with actual lyrics. Shame no one was available.

honestly i didn’t like it and then i loved it and then i hated it and then i was okay with it soooo 2.5 rounding to 3

Interesting experiments which when they hit the mark are pretty good and provides Eno with bank of ideas to take forward and reuse and adapt in subsequent production work….

I liked Very Very Hungry, rest of the album was okay.

Pretty interesting and cool at times. Unlikely to relisten to it but didn't hate it. Standout songs Mea culpa The jezebel spirit Moonlight in glory

New Wave's very own Dark Side of the Moon. Blokes would nod sagely and tell you to listen to this on a set of really good headphones.

3.2 - I think overall I'm not going to go back and listen to any of this, but as a collaboration it's pretty interesting. You really can hear each of them in the tracks. I feel like David Byrne was a lot more serious and eery which was a bit strange.

first listen this is an acid trip

Super early ambient rock(?) very enjoyable. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Cool beeboops

Two of the most interesting people in music combine for an album like nothing else before it. African rhythms are fantastic here and the whole album feels like a great jam session. There isn't a 'hit song' to my ears but that doesn't really matter, it's sometihng to put on and just smile.

Interesting.

Weird musical background noise. Not unpleasant. Stand-out: Very Very Hungry.

De jaren 80 zag Brian Eno transformeren van een artiest van vlees en bloed naar een machine. Dit album, waarin ook de tot dan vaak zo organische David Byrne mee wordt genomen in deze metamorfose, is daar een goed voorbeeld van. Van start tot eind is het één lange weirdo jam, een soort futuristische gospel groove. Je kunt niet eens zeggen dat het voor z'n tijd was, want ik kan me weinig werk na deze plaat herinneren dat deep southern church mixt met Middle Eastern funk, verpakt in een post-apocalyptisch jasje. Het levert een bizarre groove op, waar ik bijzonder genoeg toch wel goed op ga zo op de zaterdagochtend. Of het nou de mystieke Perzische funk in 'Regiment' is, of het meer bekende "Remain in Light" geluid in 'Help Me Somebody', de mannen weten een ogenschijnlijk eendimensionale plaat, zonder vocalen en hooks, toch fascinerend te maken. Natuurlijk hebben deze artiesten - misschien wel m'n favoriete van die tijd - beter werk afgeleverd dan dit, maar deze detour beviel me aardig. Het einde verdwaalt een beetje in een bos aan ambient geluiden, die de evolutie van Brian Eno van mens naar machine voltooide, maar een sterke eerste helft seals the deal. 7,5/10 Highlights: Regiment Help Me Somebody The Jezebel Spirit

Wat een vreemd album is dit. Midden in het tijdperk Talking Heads en jaartje na het verschijnen van Remain in Light brengen Eno en Byrne samen een plaat uit. De Tom Tom Club deed haar eigen ding en het is duidelijk wat de 2 stromingen in de band waren geworden. Op My Life in the Bush of Ghosts hoor ik veel Remain in Light. Met name de structuren zoals in The Great Curve komen veel terug. Met name in Help Me Somebody. Het album experimenteert nog meer met geluiden en invloeden van wereldmuziek. Zoals de didgeridoo in Very Very Hungry. Zang zit er minder in. Al met al best interessant maar niet het beste van het beste. 7,5/10 Highlights Help me somebody

I feel like this is one of those albums that was highly influential, creating soundscapes with both live instruments but also cutting up audio, I guess done with tape and razor splicing. The thing is that decades later, with no many others taking inspiration, it probably doesn't have the same avant grade impact that it did back in the day. Appreciation is theoretical, like having to read the information card to fully understand a painting.

dont remember it but it was decent enough 3/5

This one goes in the category of albums I appreciate, but don’t enjoy. These kinds of albums are always hard to rate, because it’s hard to separate the two. I love Talking Heads, and there are elements of the same things I like about them on here, but as a whole it’s a little too out there for me to fully enjoy it. With my enjoyment at probably a 2, and appreciation at a 4, this ends up coming in at a 3.

rhythm!

3, echt nicht mein Fall aber gut

I do see how it blew people's socks off 43 years ago, but my listening experience here and now gives me a fairly big Whatever. Not helped by the nervously dry, brittle, anorexic musical contribution of the Talking Heads fellow.

This is exactly the type of album that belongs on this list. It's influential and experimental, and a good listen for contextual reasons. There are a few songs that I would return to, but overall this album is more of an "interesting experiment" than repeated listen.

Good interesting album, deserves to be on the list, but not one I’ll be rushing back to, I’d rather just listen to talking heads.

Interesting enough for a single listen.

The second collaboration of these two Giants…“Everything That Happens Will Happen Today” is one of my favorite albums. And without this one it could not have been. Interestingly listening to it in the background does make sense. And one of the better titled albums.

Interesting stuff. A bit repetitive but cool rhythms overall

3 stars

not as good as his other work

This was interesting. Different, experimental and challenging. Not exactly easy to listen to. Not a background or mix kinda record. But there’s definitely some good work here.

Reminds me a lot of “Remain in Light” by Talking Heads. Very groovy, like experimental funk stuff. It kinda gives me a weird vibe when listening to it, though.

I'm not a great connoisseur of Talking Heads' work, much less David Byrne. I had never even heard of Brian eno. So all I expected was Psycho Killer type, but it wasn't. It was actually a very interesting musical experience. An experimental album that definitely has its value and must be enjoyed calmly. But it's not something I'll hear every day.

Not unpleasant

This was my 730th album - and the 352nd one that Brian Eno was somehow involved in. Like the others - it's fine. David Byrne saved it.

Apparently Brian Eno and David Byrne teamed up in the early 80's to make an experimental album consisting mainly of samples? It sounds like something DJ Shadow would have made 15 years later. A really unique, fun album with a couple great songs.

Klonk als een soundtrack voor een film, sommige nummers waren Bangers, sommige vond ik niks

A combination of Byrnes musical style and Zeno’s ambient sound. Ok

Very interesting sounds. Some in a very good way some in way that is not for me.

Pretty crazy. Ambient, experimental. Not quite my jam but this was pretty ahead of its time.

Interesting, but Remain in Light was better. Great album cover though

God love the 1980s... an innovation of sampling and synthesizing experimentation, or an incoherent mess? You decide. Still "art" though init!

1001 attributes this to Brian Eno, but it was a collaboration between Eno and David Byrne. Because no one person could have come up with this alone. I don’t even know how two guys find all this stuff and figure out how to put it all together. What is the process like for creating songs like these? It appears to make use of a plethora of samples of “found” sounds, with some sparse instrumentation mixed in. The result is bewildering and unique and demands your attention.

A lot of people mentioned that this wasn't really what they were expecting from a Brian Eno and David Byrne collaboration. I'd say this is exactly the outcome of mixing both of their styles together. Poly-rhythmic funkiness of Byrne/Talking Heads and the ambient and avant-garde sounds of Eno. Some of the backing instrumentals remind me a bit of Head Hunters-era Herbie Hancock (especially the track "Regiment"). I will say that some of the vocal samples can get distracting at times. I can see how this album would go on to influence future sample-heavy electronic artists or even hip-hop producers such as DJ Shadow.

It seems kind of ahead of its time for 1980 because it’s not synthesized all to hell but the random weird samplings from old recordings I guess or movies whatever they are. It’s just not working for me. Like, if you took out the samples and told me this was a Trent Reznor produced I’d believe you.

I can see how this was influential, but it mostly ended up being background music for me.

Enjoyable but felt like most tracks never got started

1001 albums really likes experimental electro. This has to be my 10th or 11th experimental electro album, which feels like more than enough. Anyway, onto the album itself. I was utterly unfamiliar with Brian Eno and David Byrne coming into this, so I was flying completely blind. And what I found was some quite melodic experimental electro not completely unlike some of the soundscapes from Tangerine Dream. This is more melodic and dynamic than that, but the groundwork is there. This album is quite interesting, fusing some very early hip-hop, industrial, and some early techno vibes together to form a somewhat cohesive album. If you're not into experimental electro, this won't be an album for you, and honestly it's probably not one I'll return to. That said, it was an interesting listen.

It's a modern art thing, huh?

Loved! Great background noise for working, powered through my werk Standouts: help me somebody, the carrier

En farlig kombination, men fungerer ikke så godt som hele talking heads

I’m gonna be really honest. I’m writing this review while I’m drunk. I listened to this while I was driving to work and it was pretty banging, but not super banging. It was pretty decent, but at the same time I don’t remember a lot of it. It might be because of alcohol. I don’t know. 6 out of 10 please mademoiselle.

Some of this is pretty out there, some it kinda bops though. Not sure how often I'll come back to it, but I liked it well enough.

It’s… ok. There was one beachy song I liked but otherwise I wouldn’t listen to this again.

Cool

For those who like their music interspersed with hella vocal samples and soundbites - this is your jam.

Ik dacht, ik ga even een dutje doen, en ik zet slaapliedjesgrossier Brian Eno op. Vergeet het maar! Deze plaat kun je beter instellen als het muziekje van je wekker. Bij vlagen hakketakt het in een zenuwentempo. Dan gaat het weer de kant van etnisch getrommel op. Sampletje hier, geluidje daar, ijverige percussie erbij, wat gebrabbel en wat gezellig gitaarspel ertussendoor. Ook vaag, maar een stuk interessanter dan de liftmuzak die ome Brian tot nu toe voor ons in petto had.

3,5

I already know that Brian Eno can be artsy, but this is arguably his artiest work I have ever encountered. Naturally, this experimental album will be a wacky mess. I didn't appreciate the African and/or oriental music appropriation, but the track "Regiment" redeemed it by being such an uplifting banger. The only worth-listening song in the entire album, tbh. The rest is interesting at their best.

# Playlist track - Regiment # Notes - Interesting but a bit too challenging for the casual listen. - I can kind of relate to how much of an impact this must have brought back in the 80s, but in my experience this album is more of a curiosity than anything.

What an odd yet engaging album. Such different sounds from multiple nationalities but a heavy African influence. Interesting to listen to but not something I would listen to again which is a shame as this app has got me into talking heads. I am not normally a fan of heavily instrumental music. This album had some good moments though and I understand the importance of this album. Favourite song: Regiment for sure Least favourite song: very very hungry Album artwork: Great cover I love it.

Two pretentious freaks make flip glorp blip boop sounds

weirdos

Never really listened to anything by Brian Eno. I know of him. This is mostly instrumental music, sounds more like samples and other songs for background. pretty cool so far.

Interesting songs that I wouldn't necessarily listen to again

I find Eno hit or miss but generally really like Byrne. Overall I found this album better to "appreciate" than to actually sit down and listen to. 3 stars I guess.

an interesting exploration of soundscapes

Hit and miss.

i listened to this yesterday and have already forgotten everything about it. i liked a couple songs on spotify tho apparently, so it can't have been all bad. 2.5?

Talking Heads on mushrooms. It's interesting but not something I am going to listen to a lot, or even occasionally. Good background music for something.

Some wild abstract stuff. Feels like an experiment to take audio snippets from speeches and turn them into music, or even just a sonic environment. This shit be whack! It's an interesting soundscape but not something I would come back to.

This is original and innovative and everything but i just didn’t really enjoy listening to it. I like Brian eno and I do like some of their later collaborations but this one just isn’t it for me. Although there are some kind of cool guitar moments and textures. It’s good for what it is but it’s not for me. 2.5?

Chill, some nice grooves, atmospheric

Chill

On the plus side, it's way ahead of its time – 1981 does seem very early for sounds like these. On the downside, it's dry, experimental and mostly uncharming, with some of it sounds like Max Headroom. The found sounds are mostly fine, and intermittently interesting, but then dull and grating after a time. Plus they remind one of bits that Moby, Fatboy Slim and others of that annoying ilk would use decades later. The best vibe is on “The Jezebel Spirit.” Too much else just feels like mood-setting and exploratory noodling, or as they say in comedy “all premise and no punch line.” There’s a lack of lyricism and loveliness, or formal resolution at the end of the explorations that his best ambient work has (see “Music for Airports,” “Discreet Music,” “French Catalogues”). Even allowing for its influence and foresight re sampling and world music, it reads a bit stale and tired today. Ultimatey, it's just-okay Eno (maybe blame Byrne).

Objective I wish i was there when this album was made, and i wish i was there when people were hearing it for the first time. Minds must have been seriously blown. For 1981, incredibly ahead of its time. It’s easy to see the incredible influence this must have had on late 90s / early 2000s samplers. Groovy, creative, avant garde. Pushing limits in a very cool way. World drums had such a chokehold on musicians in the 80s. Personal You know when you walk into a music store and they have all the keyboards, drum machines, and hand percussion out for people to try? This sounds like a school bus full of toddlers got off at the magic flute and all tried all the instruments at the same time. I respect the art and the influence but don’t enjoy listening (save a few grooves). It’s been done much better since. These guys walked so dj shadow could run.

I was a bit underwhelmed with this but given the context that it was 1981 it's really impressive. Don't know how directly influential it was but can hear a lot of it in Primal Scream, Avalanches, DJ Shadow.

1/30/24. Very interesting! Didn't expect this to be a diverse, worldly instrumental album. I do think the length was a bit long, but this include some good sound landscapes.

why not? 3 stars.

Not bad but wow top one thousand?

This is pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a collab between David Byrne and Brian eno. It has all the funky autistic sounds of the talking heads and all the weird samples and ambience of Brian enos stuff. It was definitely an interesting experience even if I’d rather listen to stop making sense or music for airports more. Regiment was the standout for me.

I do love me some Talking Heads, I know the avant-garde weirdness can turn off some people, but to me it is just weird enough to work. And I love the sentiment behind trying to send a bigger message, and just saying "eff it we're gonna do it how we want", very punk rock. I love the African beats in the first song, especially paired with that guitar. Song two is good for the background, but a little forgettable. Regiment moves into a funky, psychedelic feel. Help Me Somebody goes back to the speech sampling, the intense beat, aggressive bass, and pointed guitar all work very nicely. It feels urgent and danceable. The Jezebel Spirit is weird, but great. There are redeeming parts to Very Very Hungry, but overall forgettable. Moonlight in Glory sounds like an 80s cop/mystery movie. The Carrier moves to a dream state with an incessant beat, it sounds like you're discovering something. A Secret Life is just kinda there, too quiet and slow. Come With Us definitely sounds like some 90s video game music on a level where you got sucked into a computer. Overall, I enjoyed it and could see having it on in the background, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this. I would probably do 5/10, round up to 3/5. Favorite Songs: America is Waiting, Help Me Somebody, The Carrier Least Favorites: Very Very Hungry

Spacey sound

liked it but not gonna relisten

Ну в целом можно было бы и альбомами Толкин Хедс обойтись... вспомнился таинственный Moujique с какой-то из их пластинок, где мы тоже много говорили про африканскую этнику. Прикольно, что сделан фокус на семплах, может это даже более прямолинейно толкает слушателя к принципиальной идее альбома. Энивей, непонятно как оценить. Потому что мне кажется, альбом слегка лишний для списка. Прогрессивный, но по большей части дублирует успехи Talking Heads на том же Remain in Light.

Enjoyed Regiment & Defiant. Overall, nothing else really grabbed me.

Some great stuff here. Very modern sounding: the way some tracks are layered up with samples sounds like the good ambient house music from 10 or 15 years later. Saying that, it starts to get boring and ultimately seems to peter out. Needs another spin

It was a bit much, I liked it, I get it, but it didn't really float my boat.

Ziemlich 80s. Manchmal anstrengend, aber insgesamt ganz interessant und abwechslungsreich.

I have no idea how I feel about this. It's like a 1/5 and a 5/5 simultaneously. So hard to categorize and rate. Reckon they went a bit too silly on this one, Brian Eno you crazy bastard. I bet his bald head makes a gong sound when slapped.

An interesting listen. Like a soundtrack for a chase through Middle Eastern streets in a movie, washing going flying on lines, bins being overturned. (With the exception of Come With Us, which is a surreal horror accompaniment, surely.)

It's an interesting album, in a world music kind of way. I wouldn't have included it in this list, though. It may have been influential as far as sampling goes, but it has the feel of a pet project more than a serious contribution to music. As far as musical influences go, you'll get more milage out of listening to Talking Heads.

weird and nice!

Ehhhh

Wait, what if Barian Eno and david Bryne made a prot-plunderphonics album with folk songs from a number of different cultures, oh wait...

Nice to hear a mad experimental style of talking heads signature sound

A couple great sorta funky songs, but also a couple stinkers. I appreciate the ingenuity of using loops and samples, but I hate when a loop is only a couple seconds long. It gets tired QUICK

Cool sounds and all, it’s just that I don’t want to listen to it too much. 2.8

"The Jezebel Spirit" was the standout. This was a pretty forward-thinking project for 1981. Lots of techno and sampling. It was Moby before Moby was Moby. It wasn't a bad listen, but nothing that I'd really listen to just to listen to. An extra star for being so ahead of its time.

Not sure what to expect from this, Brian Eno rings a bell for some reason. Collab album from 1981. Electronic. It’s not bad, it nothing special either. A low 3.

Didnt really notice it.

Only listened to a preview as it's not available via Apple in the UK, but it seemed OK, although I wasn't motivated to spend actual money on it

I listened to it, but I couldn't tell you a thing about it.

Still quite revolutionary-sounding, but the repetitiveness isn't balanced that well (yet).

Love the bassline for My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts is quite exotic and interesting Quite an experimental album, I've mixed feelings about it but it's alright.

you know who spends loads of time rummaging around in the bushes of ghosts? SHICK. Any holes a goal though ey SHICK?

Sound

wow! david byrne and brian eno created such a different album for 1981. it's rather experimental and electronic, but the usage of various world musics make this album so unique. the beats are pretty sick, which is a weird statement to make for a brian eno album, but it is what it is. and the inclusion of funk made this album made it stand out even more. the samples could be repetitive, as they usually are, but since the samples were so unusual, i found myself more intrigued than annoyed. the feel of the album is very brian eno, who seems to ooze some chill and psychedelia vibes in his music. the talking heads' new wave sound isn't here, but their typical art/avant music is! i suppose that's david byrne's influence on the talking heads, too. i do wish that perhaps two white men hadn't created this album, but from what i read, what byrne and eno did was create music respectfully and borrow inspiration from other cultures. when they received some complaints or requests for a song removal, they complied and adjusted the album--even in the last few years. i'm impressed.

Quel titre! Une curiosité aux influences variées, que je devrai réécouter en m'y immergeant.

62/100

This is the kind of music to play during an acid trip. Rhythmic, repetitive in a good way, off the beaten path. There are a lot of Middle Eastern vocals with undulating British club mixes. It's fun for background music.

2.5

Weird

Eh, heard better.

clearly well done but not my style

Noise/found sounds collage that flits between interesting, robotic funk, and something slightly above ambient. I appreciate the music it inspired, at the very least. Also, the bass playing on some of this is absolutely choice. Favorite tracks: "Regiment", "Very, Very Hungry"

cool experimental album, but nothing i was too interested in. 2.6/5. listened 2x (Columbia SC)

Sinceramente al autor del libro le gustaba Brian Eno y por su cara decide que todo lo que haga el nota debes escucharlo antes de morir. Como ya he dicho antes, su música me gusta pero esto es complejo que sea imprescindible o para todos los públicos. Según la wikipedia este album fue pionero a la hora de usar samples. Me he guardado The Jezebel spirit. Es más interesante de de lo que esperaba.

se não soubesse que a proposta é som ambiente ia dar menos, cumpre seu papel

Rock experimental. Ni fu ni fa.

Raar, bij vlagen rommelig, en af en toe best wel cool. Heel origineel.

3.5

I understand why this album is important as it paved the way for sampled sounds in composition, but I don’t find that type of music enjoyable. Solid 3.

Goodish

w. David Byrne, good job

This is definitely Eno & Bryne, but it's muddled with no direction. I love their own stuff, but this felt like wasted air. What a shame.
