1979-Talking Heads had just completed what for us was a long world wide tour after our Fear Of Music record came out. I then took some time to collapse and recuperate in NY. During this time Brian and Jon Hassel and I began to spend some time together enthusiastically exchanging cassettes and vinyl that we had each found. I seem to remember Jon playing some Milton Nasciamento, which I didn’t get at the time. I myself had a new fascination with African pop music, although aside from Fela there was little information available about any of the artists. There was no World Music guides at this point and no internet. We passed around various records, many on the excellent Ocora label- these were often recordings of material previously found on field recordings, but this French label was treating them as if they were “classical” music- the quality of the performances and of the recordings were amazing. I had grown up on the Nonesuch and Folkways field recordings but the production values on these were on a whole other level........................................

awesome find! thx for posting

one of the bestest albums of the everests

Cool insight on a pretty interesting album, I've had it in my library for years now, but never gave it a full listen through in one sitting... I may have to do that soon

i always thought that "Regiment" was really underrated...my fave track on the album

Had this album many years now, I bought it after reading a review of Ministry's classic album Psalm 69, when the scribe mentioned My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was the blueprint for almost everything Al Jourgenson ever released. I guess the only difference being Al just screamed loads of wonderful Satanic nonsense over the top.

Def a top album and one you can keep going back to. I am going to dig it out now.

interesting about david byrne love for the african pop music. brian eno recently produced seun kuti's 'africa with fury' which was released last week
