Listen to where it all started. This album changed the musical world, and yes, very few non-musicians know about it, much like VU's first, but similarly, once you've heard it, you'll never think about music the same way again. Calling it groundbreaking or influential would both be understatements. But beware: you'll likely find the music of your favorite electronica/ambient/house/3rd world artist paling in comparison. I'm talking about the original album, with "Qu'ran" - which is not in this collection thanks to political correctness. Everything after "Mountains of Needles" is outtakes, I would assume. Find the original pressing, vinyl preferably.

My Life In the Bush of Ghosts. I love this album! I was hooked the first time. I am an abstract artist, and always listen to music as I paint and create. This Eno/Byrne masterpiece is in my "Maximum Rotation"!

Essential album, not worth buying again. It amazes me how many otherwise well-informed people, particularly those keen on fusionist world music and electronica, remain unaware of this groundbreaking 1981 album. Byrne and Eno integrated odd vocal samples (politicians, evangelists, folktale tellers) with polyrhythmic funk and Middle Eastern-derived musical backing to create an eerie, compelling soundscape that was unlike most anything else out there at the time of its release (although musically, it owed a lot to the same influences apparent on Remain in Light and The Catherine Wheel). This stunning album clearly paved the way for studio technophiles like Moby et al years later. Most of the tracks remain awesome to this day, but even in the original release, a handful of weaker ones seemed to indicate that Byrne and Eno had run out of steam during production (The Carrier, A Secret Life, Mountain of Needles). Disappointingly, not included on this re-release is "Qu'ran" from the original, a very intense track that they withdrew after protests from Muslim fundamentalists. The "new" tracks here (from 12 forward) are nothing to write home about: most seem very unfinished, and only "Defiant" and "Number 8 Mix" cohere as whole songs that could've been on the original (though the former has exactly the same rhythmic structure as "The Jezebel Spirit"). If you don't already own this, it's well worth the money, but for those who do, best to just fill in with the extra singles as need be.

Landmark. This is one of the key works for both Eno and Byrne and a landmark collection of extremely influential music. Seriously, this is music you can revisit for the rest of your life. Personally, I’m quite happy to have this extended version with the extra tracks—in this case, I think more is better, even if the original track lineup was unimpeachable. The sound quality of this remaster seems preferable to me, too.

If only it was Byrne and Eno instead of Bush and Blair. When I first heard this album back in '81, It changed my life. Music had never possessed such a prophetic urgency. America is still waiting and one of the original tracks is no longer available because of religious fundamentalism. Buy this album, It's so high you can't get over it, It's so low you can't get under it, and it's so wide you can't get around it.
