Brian Eno & David Byrne - Qu'Ran
"Qu'ran," meaning Quran, which appeared on the original 1981 vinyl album, was replaced in the 1987 reissue with "Very, Very Hungry," and the reason for the replacement was due to protests from the English Islamic community.
"Very, Very Hungry" is a crooked, obsessively percussive score with a limping rhythm, featuring a voice that seems to come from a ghost in the woods, and its drumming is irregular and primitive, with a guitar that occasionally peeks through.
In the original 1981 version, there was instead "Qu'Ran," featuring drumming in odd time signatures where a hypnotic Middle Eastern melody unfolds, inviting a sort of Islamic Sufi practice in chanting a verse from the Quran.
Unfortunately (as stated above), the English Islamic community deemed this piece (included in "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts") irreverent and had it replaced, and that's it... but I killed them!
