Remain In Light
Talking Heads

Layers on layers of sound. Born Under Punches almost sounds like two songs playing at once, it's that dense. Next up: Crosseyed and Painless and the quirky percussion takes center stage. There's a ton going on but the simple funky baseline underneath has me nodding my head. The Great Curve still has an African sound but introduces some great distorted guitar to the mix. It's a nice buildup to Once in a Lifetime with its sing along chorus. The low rumbling bass still drives everything, but it's the little details in the Eno production that reward careful listening. Same as it ever was... The second half is subtler, focusing on atmosphere and groove. I'm lulled into a trave a bit by the time we get to the relaxing sounds and vocals of Listening Wind, before the Overload goes deeper and darker. It's a slow droning finish. Brilliant.
