Wow, excellent! Thanks for the link. Gee has it really been 30 years since "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"?

Having had a full listen, I think I prefer "...Bush of Ghosts". This outing has more Byrne Talking Heads flavoring and outside of "Poor Boy", Eno seems almost restrained to background textures and more pop/folk rhythm arrangement. David's lyrics run the stream of contemporary folk consciousness and hit affectionate cultural notes that are strongly appealing. Still a good pairing of these two after all these years and some of the songs are material worth being covered passionately by others.
