Remixing 'Bush of Ghosts'

Coinciding with the re-(re-re-)release of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, Byrne and Eno have put up this website with, well, stuff on it. Not the least of which is the chance to download portions of the original work for you own remixing.

- people who consider that album a breakthrough of sorts in the use of "discovered" vocals in popular music

- people who are interested in process in art

- Byrne/Eno fan-boys
