Modern Lovers

A delightful track from my fave Eno album, the poppy and whimsical Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) from 1974. "Use a certain ratio..." In the early eighties, a group of funk-minded Manchester post-punks would take his word for it.

Brian Eno - The True Wheel
A Certain Ratio - Flight

On Her Own

Remember that Lebanese mountain singer Brian Eno & David Byrne sampled twice on their rightly famed My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts collaboration? Ever wondered what she would sound like on her own? Here´s your chance. Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Beirut, please give a warm welcome to... Dunya Yunis.

Dunya Yunis - Abu Zeluf MP3

And in case your memory needs refreshing, this is the groove monster featuring Yunis (and not Yusin, as she´s often called erroneously) that gave her amazing voice some well-deserved exposure in the West.
