Advantages: the funky pop of Talking Heads combined with some killer tunes
Disadvantages: why isn't this album better known?

...If you love mid period Talking Heads then you'll love this 1981 solo album from Heads keyboard player Jerry Harrison. Keeping the multilayered polyrhythms of Remain In Light and adding an outright funky sheen Jerry created the best Talking Heads album that the band never made.

"Heaven Came Down To Earth" is a swanky swing number with great orchestration, that Vale sings like only Vale can. Listening to "The Flame", you can picture 2 people sharing an ice creme soda at a 50's style Malt-Shop with it... Read review
