Tracks

The remix site for My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts is up. (Unfortunately, while the Flash interface is very pretty, it took a lot of poking before it accepted my registration. I don’t even know what I did to make it work.)
I notice as well that under “Listen”, when you select “Filter”, you can view all the remixes positioned on various axes - due no doubt to Eno’s fascination with “axis” thinking (there’s a mini-essay about it in his book A Year With Swollen Appendices). Neat to be able to view them arranged by those various criteria… and maybe even more interesting, to see where there aren’t any remixes yet. That ability prompts questions like “Why hasn’t anyone done a mix that’s busy but slow?” or “Can you have a piece of music that’s menacing but sweet?”
So now I’ve got the complete tracks from “A Secret Life” and “Help Me Somebody”, on a quest to find out the answers. It’s neat to hear them all like this… like getting to peek into the studio during the making of the album.
Here we go!
