Reblogged: Brian Eno and David Byrne My Life in the Bush of Ghosts released with CC license. Brian Eno and David Byrne released My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in 1981. It's a great album--and now it's available with a Creative Commons License. "This is the first time complete and total access to original tracks with remix and sampling possibilities have been officially offered on line." Quite right; this is a wonderful album. I bought it in vinyl, and later on CD. It's great grooves (not modern grooves, but great in the early 80s sense) with sublime samples from short wave radio, church broadcasts and found stuff. The idea of working with this material gives me an embarassing trouser moment. [MetaFilter] [The Mediaburn Radio Weblog] 11:05:18 PM
