These are the four bonus tracks added in 2006 to the Remain in Light reissue. I'm posting this mostly because of the last two jams. Brian Eno, Chris Frantz, David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, and Tina Weymouth jamming while recording Remain in Light.

Love is Love

This record is incredible, I hope if you read this you download it and enjoy it. Mississippi Records out of Portland OR. Tropicalia feel from all over Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, etc.).

Various Artists - Love is Love





Lungfish - Love is Love



These two albums have very little in common, and I'm not in anyway comparing their musical qualities in this juxtaposition, or maybe I am. Because surely there is something, but not really to be said or really contemplated, much.

Ghédalia Tazartès - Diasporas 1979 Italy

"Ghedalia Tazartes is a nomad. He wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. He paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Parisian anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies."

Bobby Beausoleil - Lucifer Rising Soundtrack

Kenneth Anger (satanist/filmmaker) had an actor in mind to play Lucifer, but then attended a happening in San Francisco being performed by the 19 year old Bobby Beausoleil's psychedelic chamber music group, The Orkustra. He was enthralled and after the show, he approached Beausoleil to take the lead role in Rising, who agreed on one condition - that he write and have The Orkustra perform the soundtrack. Long story short, Anger and Beausoleil commenced filming but then had a falling out. Beausoleil joined Charles Manson's cult killed a drug dealer for selling him shitty mescaline and was convicted to death, then luck have it California changed their laws and he is now serving life in prison (inconsequentially he's up for parole again in 2013). Meanwhile with Beausoleil tied up in prison Anger decided to have Jimmy Page write the soundtrack. Page wrote a 23 minute long soundtrack and the film toured on it for a few years. But after three years of showing the film Anger decided he was not happy with the music, Anger and Page had a falling out, and in the late 70's he contacted Beausoleil to see if he would be willing to write the soundtrack. With permission, Bobby Beausoleil wrote and performed this soundtrack in prison, accompanied by his fellow prisoners. This is the soundtrack that is on the final version of the film.

4 extra tracks recorded by Beausoleil's other bands, The Orkustra and The Magick Powerhouse of Oz can be found Here.
