David Byrne and Brian Eno’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts Remix Site  
Launches Today

May 9, 2006

For the first time ever, fans are able to legally remix and share  
their own personal versions of two songs from David Byrne and Brian  
Eno’s groundbreaking album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. The  
interactive forum bush-of-ghosts.com has been developed to celebrate  
the reissue of the album 25 years after its original release.

By agreeing to the terms of download, users will be able to download  
the component audio for two tracks from Bush of Ghosts – "A Secret  
Life" and "Help Me Somebody.” This component audio is licensed to the  
public under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution- 
NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. Consistent with that license, users  
can legally create remixes and upload them to the site. Visitors can  
listen to, rate, and discuss the remixes, and are also encouraged to  
create their own videos, which will be streamed on the site.

When My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was first released in 1981,  
Rolling Stone called it “an undeniably awesome feat of tape editing  
and rhythmic ingenuity.” It was widely considered a watershed record.  
The influence of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is evident in music  
ranging from the Bomb Squad’s productions for Public Enemy to Moby.  
The re-mixed and remastered version of the album was released with 7  
bonus tracks on April 11.
