David Byrne and Brian Eno’s landmark sampling album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was remastered and reissued in 2006 with extensive liner notes, photos, and previously unreleased bonus tracks.
To celebrate the release, Byrne and Eno launched bush-of-ghosts.com where the audio source files from two of the classic tracks from Bush of Ghosts — “A Secret Life” and “Help Me Somebody” — were offered under the Creative Commons license, so we could use them to make remixes. The site allowed uploads and user ratings.
This is my 2006 remix, that went to the number 1 on the user’s ratings poll on that site, whatever that means, it was nice. I’ve lost track of this one and recently I’ve founfd it on an old backup. Here it is, rough, experimental and messy as it was.
I used most the basic stems and added charango, percussion samples, arpeggiator, acoustic guitar, upright basses and vocal samples (mostly in quechua)
This is the original track:
