After 30 years, Brian Eno and David Byrne have got together again to collaborate on a new album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.

In case you want to go mobile, you can also buy it from their web site to play back on your MP3 player – there’s an MP3 you can download for free, too. Enjoy that, too.
