 | My Life in the Bush of Ghosts [Read More ...]
Description: Brian Eno and David Byrne's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts appears downright visionary. With its "found" vocals, cut-and-paste arrangements, funked-up rhythms and embrace of influences from all around the globe, the duo's controversial work anticipated the creative cross-pollinati... |
 | Live from Austin, Texas [Read More ...]
Description: From the vaults of the award-winning PBS Austin City Limits TV show, this is the latest release in the acclaimed Live From Austin, TX series. David Byrne is a modern renaissance man and that s not just a cliché. From the heady days as co-founder of the celebrated art new-wave gr... |

 | Rei Momo [Read More ...]
Description: Three years after Paul Simon's Graceland, the most identifiable member (by far) of the Talking Heads ventured way beyond his band's terrain with his solo debut. With Rei Momo, David Byrne inaugurated his plunge into Latin American music, doing so with a variety of styles, from so... |
 | The Catherine Wheel [Read More ...]
Description: Sounding more like a missing Talking Heads session than anything remotely like David Byrne's 1990s-era work, The Catherine Wheel is at root a display of funky, off-time rhythms and vamps with Byrne involved at every level. The music was composed and produced to accompany a Twyla ... |
 | Grown Backwards [Read More ...]
Description: With 2003's Once In A Lifetime box set stirring old feelings for the Talking Heads' intelligent and angular pop music, this album could not arrive at a more appropriate time. After years of experimenting with salsa and strings, David Byrne returns with a cohesive record that catc... |
 | Feelings [Read More ...]
Description: Three cheers for anyone who skips down roads not taken, but records as eclectic as this one are what keep David Byrne from approaching the level of success he had with the Talking Heads. Most intriguing here are the tracks co-produced with U.K. trip-hoppers Morcheeba, among them ... |
 | Uh-Oh [Read More ...]
Review: Still Sounds Good:As far as a pop album goes, this is a very well produced album. I'll admit I am biased as I was subjected to this at a good time in my life. However, I think you'll find some excellent production quality and musicianship. Such songs as "Monkey Man" display ve... |

 | David Byrne [Read More ...]
Description: David Byrne may well be the smartest person in American pop music today, but a lot of good it does him. The man who created the Talking Heads and then demolished them is smart enough to realize that third-world rhythms are one doorway out of rock'n'roll's stuffy room, and he's sm... |
 | Lead Us Not Into Temptation: Music from the film "Young Adam" [Read More ...]
Review: Deeply emotional:This soundtrack is deeply emotional and gripping. I have never seen the film it goes to, but I am still able enjoy the soundtrack very much. Some soundtracks just seem to fall flat if you have not seen the film, but this isn't one of them. Full of stunning and be... |
 | My Life in the Bush of Ghosts [Read More ...]
Review: Note the bonus tracks:This is a great album, and has been reviewed better elsewhere, so this is more of a note. This version of the album has Qu'ran and Very Very Hungry. The original LP had Qu'ran as track 6 (track 1 on the 2nd side), and Very Very Hungry doesn't appear at all... |

 | The Forest [Read More ...]
Review: Good intentions- bad orchestration:Great composers aren't always good orchestrators. Prokofiev often needed help. Here, David Byrne hired someone to help with the orchestration, and, to be honest, it's a horrible job. There's a lot of good music here, and some of the musical c... |

Description: BRIAN AND DAVID: HOW & WHY- This record was born as a dinner conversation. While dining in New York with David and some other friends, I mentioned that I had accumulated a lot of music, which, despite my intentions, I had never formed into songs. David volunteered to give them a ... |
