FEAR THIS MUSIC
I Zimbra starts this train ride of calculated exaggeration into obscure succinctity. David Byrne leads his merry minstrel show of New Yrok City flunkies down the rabbithole of dystopian Havana as they rollercoast to oblivion on a wave of minimal excess.
All of the functions of deluded sensory deception are accounted and accosted. Animals is a track about 'paranoia' of animals on a far too intellectual standing. (They say they don't need money.)
We conclude with Drugs (as we must start) and I've heard this was originally entitled Electricity (which is still namechecked).
The whole album from 1979 is a kind of counterpoint to the conceptually laden Pink Floyd of the same era The Wall - except not as po-faced. It's a musically fun album with lyrics to make you think or even laugh.
This is recorded when Talking Heads were definitely on a roll, as they say. Produced by Brian Eno of solo, David Bowie and Roxy Music credit who would reach maximum heights with a little group from Ireland a few years later.Read full review...
