A
book by Amos Tutuola. Also, and more
relevant, at least to many people, an
album by
Brian Eno and
David ByrneOriginally released as an
LP in 1981, the CD release has a
bonus track (the last listed below). Eno and Byrne made this album in between work on the
Talking Heads'
Fear of Music and
Remain in Light. This process
galvanized Byrne's
rhythmic
exploration. They made extensive use of
found sound samples from
radio and
recordings of
ethnic or what we would
now call
World Music, Eno and Byrne combined with dance rhythms on
drums,
congas and
found objects. You might not like it. I do.

Am I listening to it right now? No. But I was when I wrote this.
