Talking heads are lowkey one of the most overrated bands of all time YEAH I SAID IT!!!

I wish there was more information about the recording. one of the most creative albums oat

ridiculous

Perfect album

“Byrne, drummer Chris Frantz, bassist Tina Weymouth and keyboardist Jerry Harrison converged on the Bahamas in early 1980 with no set material to record. The resulting instrumental jams, based on looping Afrobeat rhythms (pioneered by Fela Kuti), were intended as a blending of music genres from around the world rather than just an imitation. The results of these jams were played to Brian Eno, producer of their two previous albums, who felt the band was onto something different and special.

Several other musicians were included in the subsequent recording sessions including trumpet player Jon Hassell, guitarist Adrian Belew, singer Nona Hendryx and Robert Palmer on guitar as well as percussion. The recording process for the base instrumental tracks utilized long, overlapping loops of repetitive rhythms long before studio tools could support the process of what we refer to today as sampling.

Once the core instrumental tracks were laid down, the band returned to the states. Eno and Harrison spent time in the studio fleshing out the rhythms with solos and other overdubs while Byrne worked on the song’s lyrics. Again drawing influence from African music, David scatted improvised lyrics over and over into a tape recorder until he found what he wanted. Most of the lyrics drew upon the vocal stylings of religious sermons including some challenge and response.”

Says the guy with the Springsteen avi

nah they deserve all the praise

Tbh both deserve they've been getting imo

The culmination of this album is so cool and it shows in such a cool album . Adrian Belew ? Bernie Worrell ? Brian Eno ? With David Byrne and the heads at the helm !!! Pure magic

goat album

post means after

genres develop and then evolve further, incorporating new influences other than the initial genre they developed from

so post punk for example can have elements of punk and strong elements of industrial music as well as other genres

Real music
