Uh, hate to nitpick, but it actually came out in 1981. It's one of the earliest--and best--examples of sampladelic music; I highly recommended it. Btw, for the CD version, Byrne/Eno dropped "Qu'ran" due to pressure from fundamentalist Islamic groups, who claimed it was blasphemous to use words from the Koran with this type of music. They replaced that track with "Very, Very Hungry." And everybody lived happily ever after. Amen.
