Album Review:
A pioneering work for countless styles connected to electronics, ambience, and
Third World music, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts expands on the fourth-world
concepts of Hassell/Eno work with a whirlwind 45 minutes of worldbeat/funk-rock
(with the combined talents of several percussionists and bassists, including
Bill Laswell, Tim Wright, David van Tieghem, and Talking Heads' Chris Frantz)
that's also heavy on the samples -- from radio talk-show hosts, Lebanese
mountain singers, preachers, exorcism ceremonies, Muslim chanting, and Egyptian
pop, among others. It's also light years away from the respectful,
preservationist angles of previous generations' field recorders and folk song
gatherers. The songs on My Life in the Bush of Ghosts present myriad elements
from around the world in the same jumbled stew, without regard for race, creed,
or color. As such, it's a tremendously prescient record for the future
development of music during the 1980s and '90s.
