Brian Eno & David Byrne

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (1981)

Electronic, Progressive

I first came across Eno through David Bowie, after I'd worked out that three of my favourite Bowie albums (the Berlin trilogy, Low, Heroes and Lodger) were all written with the man in question. A huge amount in music is owed to this man, who is generally quietly respected by everyone who knows him. The greatest of his legends is arguably "My Life", which still needs a genre title that hasn't yet been invented. Him and David Byrne put their heads together and produced something so unusual and influential that it's still a challenge today. To be perfectly honest, it took me about five or six listens to get a glimpse of why it was so good, which is more than usual. Now it's one of my most prized albums, and gives me a similar feeling to that of returning home. This is essential music.

The Great Synchronisation

A few minutes ago I was sitting on a sofa with nothing to do, thinking, "maybe it's time for my annual blog entry". You may be wondering whether you should bother reading something that's been created simply because I had nothing better to do, but I submit to you that all good things are created that way. Think about it.
