 Not able to use on my iPod October 13, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this to REPLACE my vinyl and old scratched up CD versions. Yes, I own the original vinyl AND the original CD release. I love the music. I wanted to finally add it to my MP3 collection of which I actually BUY all the music in. Oh, and I don't give copies away like the music companies say we all do......... anyhow, I bought this only to find that it's full of copy protection crap. So much in fact that this thing it totally useless to me. Instead of a happy moment I ended up with frustration. I wanted to put the thing on my iPod but no, I'm not "allowed" to do that. As i said, I now own 3 copies of this which I purchased. Nice to be punished. Anyhow, I'm sending it back and I'll rip from the other that I have or better yet, download it all for free since that's kinda what we're all being pushed to do. They make it harder and harder to do the right thing, in time it'll all just fall apart on them. Enjoy the cash, big brother, but it will no longer be mine.
 Two Geniuses Create a First?, a Classic!! September 23, 2008
When Ran & Cheddar grabbed me right after one of them grabbed this album in 1981 [on cassette & LP in those days] and we went for a long drive, I had trouble getting the name of the album but the music was hypnotic and amazingly brilliant. I didn't stop listening for months cos it touched my soul. Whether the urban legend is true that this is the first real 'sampling' album or not, it IS amazing and timeless. A 'DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR [& YOUR MATES]' album. Individually, Brian and David are modern musics equivalents of Mozart and Beethoven. Together, .... heavenly! This album is wondrous in its 'sampling' choices and original musical accompaniment to those themes. Each composition is a classic because of those two and we have the honour to share/hear their genius time and time again. Thank GOD!
90% of an Important Album September 11, 2008
The original album was a masterpiece. Though not widely heard of in its day, it was an outstanding work of art and indirectly influenced more popular music. The "sampling" and overall production were an influence on Hank Shocklee by his own account, who produced Public Enemy.
I love the record and am awed by the way Eno and Byrne made these intricate, flavorful creations out of simple ingrediants. Eno's most startling acheivements were generally done in collaboration with others and this is one of them.
All that said, taking a track - and a good one at that - out of the original running order ("Qu'ran") - is a flaming shame. History is available here only in a revised form.
WONDERFUL but ... THIS reissue falls because... August 15, 2008

wonderful but it FAILS because of the reticence to include the orginally LATER deleted Qu'ran track....
this is a HOLY song and you can't let fundamentalists HIJACK the sacred. well, they can't but it was a corporation that ultimately cowered here.
a shame.
otherwise, 99.9% great album.
see the work eno did with jon hassel!
