Remain in Light album Product Description
Remain in Light album by Talking Heads was released Jan 10, 2006 on the Rhino label. Though the previous album FEAR OF MUSIC provided a bit of foreshadowing, Talking Heads fans could never have guessed what was in store for them with the release of REMAIN IN LIGHT. A visionary work of innovation and inspiration, it's arguably one of the finest albums of the 1980s Remain in Light music CDs. The band leaves behind the two-guitars-over-a-quirky-rock-beat ethic of their previous work, adopting a funky, modal approach Remain in Light songs. Abandoning traditional song form and chord progressions, the tunes here are built around layers of overdubbed keyboard, guitar and percussion parts that weave around each other in an almost fugue-like manner, relying on the adding and subtracting of elements in the mix for dynamics, instead of on chord changes and structural development. It was a radical approach for a rock band, and it's reflected in the lyrics as well. Byrne abandons his urban paranoia of old in favor of a more spiritual, third world-influenced style of writing. Adrian Belew injects some grit with his postpunk-psychedelia guitar work (suggestive of his upcoming work with King Crimson, as is the overall sound of REMAIN IN LIGHT). ...See Full Description

| Avoid Dual Disc!!!! This Dual Disc freezes my DVD-Audio player anytime I try to play the hi-rez tracks. I know that others have had the same problem. The Dual Disc is a flawed medium and should be discontinued. I guess I'll have to wait for Rhino to release a standalone DVD to be able to hear the 5.1 mix. By Dave (Portland, OR)  |
| profound masterpiece This is the Heads finest album, and one of the greatest albums in the history of rock. You may find yourself ... listening to this ... and you may ask yourself ... what does it all mean? maybe nothing. and maybe the meaning of life is embedded in its shifting rhythms and seemingly effortless fusion of a plethora of musical styles from world music, rock, funk, gospel and pop ... years after first listening to it, you will find yourself returning to it. and that is what makes all truly great albums great.
