mica. Ok or just art? Moving forward to his past. This is ok but the music just sits there. Not their best effort.

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.

A great, and great sounding album still today. What a collaboration, this is a fantastic album songs and sound recordings.

Wrap your Brains around this one. Every time I hear this album, I'm blown away by how contemporary it sounds. These guys were/are geniuses. You may hear bits and pieces that others have sampled from this album since. Very complex sampling and beat mixing throughout, and keep in mind that this was done before the Macintosh computer was even invented! Brian and David were literally splicing magnetic tape into "loops" ("looping") and playing them back and forth over mag heads to get their samples and effects. Pioneers. If you consider yourself at all a fan of "interesting music," Electronica, world music or dance music, this is a MUST for your collection.
