Re: Lurker surfacing with OT Question

I remember grabbing "Bush of Ghosts" the moment I read about it in the NY 
Times way back when.  It took a little getting used to, but you knew it 
was 
worth it while trying to grok it... and foreshadowed works to come by 
others, using the sample-and-hold-to-repeat-or-stutter motif.  I think the 
only part of the film "Wall Street" I liked was the use of "Mea Culpa", 
the 
second track, with the "slimy politician on radio" voice... but of course 
at 
this point we had not as yet heard the works later included on the 
Ultimate 
Fripp and Eno collection, "Healthy Colours", done sometime round 1974: 
"Happy people wear heal-heal-healthy colours"...

I was able to get the copy with "Q'uran" on CD before a bunch of whiners 
foreshadowed the protest about those Mohammed cartoons, by complaining 
that 
a recording of someone singing part of the Koran somehow violated 
religious 
law - even though it was taken from an LP itself...

Lately I've been mulling over Roxy Music's "Virginia Plain", which sounds 
like several of Eno's songs in the Warm Jets/Tiger Mountain sets.  Dunno. 
Whatcha think?
