April 4, 2006, brings the expanded re-issue of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, the groundbreaking collaboration between David Byrne and Brian Eno.

"a beautiful record standing the test of time with no wear whatsoever" -Moby

"I grew up as a David Byrne fan. I admired his work with Talking Heads, and those records then led me to My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts, where discovered Brian Eno’s work. The collaboration between Byrne and Eno inspired me to think outside the box and opened my head up to new musical and, most importantly, non-musical experiences." -Hank Shocklee, Producer (Public Enemy)

Now approaching its 25th anniversary, Brian Eno and David Byrne’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts appears downright visionary. With its "found" vocals, cut-and-paste arrangements, funked-up rhythms and embrace of influences from all around the globe, the duo’s controversial work anticipated the creative cross-pollination and technological innovation of contemporary electronic dance music, world music, hip hop and alternative rock. You can hear echoes of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in the anthems Moby built around vintage vocal samples, in the outrageously exotic beats of Missy Elliot and Timbaland, in the Middle Eastern–accented chill-out tracks of Thievery Corporation or Bjork’s otherworldly soundscapes.

This updated edition includes several tracks that had been considered for but never made it to the original LP. Also featured on this enhanced CD is the Bruce Connor film for the track, "Mea Culpa." The second coming of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is happening at just the right time. David Byrne has been performing perhaps the best shows of his solo career on his current world tour, revitalizing some of his classic material with a great new band and the Tosca Strings. Brian Eno’s work is also being discovered by a new generation through reissues of his groundbreaking solo albums and his landmark ambient recordings.
