Remain Inspired

Advantages: Fantastically inventive 80s art-pop
Disadvantages: A couple of weak tracks

...one. I would keep Remain in Light. Now why is this? Why does it stand out so far from the rest, surely all their albums are the same: homogeneity of art-pop. I say not and I can also say why. Remain in Light is an unusual Talking Heads album because unlike most, which are almost entirely written by front man David Byrne, the words and music are (almost) entirely credited not only the core band itself but to two other special people which to me ...
...somehow this song is very Remain in Light and yet at the same time it is also very different. It feels progressive and at the same time a little retrospective. But what need have I to speak further of this, surely you know it well enough. The latter half of the album is for me an entirely different prospect to the first half; this is to me more Eno inspired, varied and curiously beguiling. Houses in Motion is incredibly simple; Byrne often talks ...

Peak hour

Advantages: Amazing, excellent tracks
Disadvantages: Nothing

...on Talking Heads 1980 album Remain In Light. Using the latest digital recording equipment, the band built up rhythm patters from tape loops made from studio jam sessions. Gradually, layer after layer of intricate cross rhythms were added to these basic, one chord jams. Other musicians were brought in to fill out the sound: Adrian Belew, David Bowie’s tour guitarist; former LaBelle vocalist Nona Hendryx; a horn section, arranged by Jon Hassell. To ...
...appearance by singer Robert palmer on percussion. The rich, orchestral funk that resulted was far removed from the frail, brittle textures of Talking Heads: 77. Byrne then added lyrics, many of them adapted from the radio evangelists he and Eno had recorded for My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts: !And you may ask yourself, am I right? Am I wrong? And you may say to yourself, MY GOD! ... WHAT HAVE I DONE?” That particular track, Once In A Lifetime brought ...

The Talking heads zenith…

Advantages: truly ground breaking
Disadvantages: nothing comes to mind

This 1980 release from one of my favourite bands of the time was the last in a trilogy of albums released with Brian Eno producing the previous 2 being “More songs about buildings and food” and “Fear of Music”, this album took further the “African” influences first used on the previous album “Fear of Music” For this incarnation of the band they added to the normal line-up of personal Byrne, Harrison, ...
...Adrian Belew who had played for Frank Zappa and David Bowie in the past. Another change was the use of several vocal tracks, where before the songs were monologues with only David Byrne voice, now they used several vocal tracks that featured other people’s voices apart from Mr Byrne. In the mix was Eno’s voice along with Nona Hendrix from the trio “Labelle”. Along with extra vocal tracks the band were using a large amount ...
