Naked Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Perfect Ending
Hello All, This disc makes a perfect ending to this stellar series of spectacular surround mixes. This disc didn't get great reviews when first released, and I wonder why. The Steve Lillywhite production is fantastic (and VERY bright!), and the music gets really BIG with the adddition of several guest musicians. The added personel makes the 5.1 mix a very entertaining listen. In my opinion, NAKED sits just below REMAIN IN LIGHT, as far as rating the surround mixes. Another "must buy!" Thank you.

Talking Heads Fear Of Music CD (1979) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Digipak; DualDisc

Naked

$14.89

Principally recorded at Chris and Tina's loft, Long Island City, Queens, New York. This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. FEAR OF MUSIC is the point of transition between the angular art-school new wave of the Heads' early work and the P-Funk-inspired modalism of their early-'80s output. While there's nothing as funky or visionary as REMAIN IN LIGHT here, the album represents a step in a new direction. At the same time, the Heads' white-knuckled neuroticism is pushed to the extreme here. Almost unrelentingly dark and paranoid-sounding, the tunes find Byrne at his most Anthony Perkins-like, and the interplay of the guitars, even more syncopated ...

Talking Heads Remain In Light CD (1980) DualDisc

Naked

$16.79

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. 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. The band leaves behind the two-guitars-over-a-quirky-rock-beat ethic of their previous work, adopting a funky, modal approach. 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 ...

Talking Heads Speaking In Tongues CD (1983) Bonus Tracks; Digipak; DualDisc

Naked

$12.49

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. On REMAIN IN LIGHT, the Heads fused their twitchy, intellectual geek-rock sensibilities with an organic, spiritual funkiness that catapulted them into a new artistic realm, virtually unfettered by the shackles of their "new wave" past. SPEAKING IN TONGUES picks up where that album left off, expanding on the band's newfound funk aesthetic and even upping the danceability quotient a notch or two. The Heads let their hair down a bit more here than on REMAIN IN LIGHT, but while the tone is a bit less serious (as on the party-starting ...

Talking Heads True Stories CD (1986) Bonus Tracks; Digipak; DualDisc

This is not the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. It contains the same songs, but performed by the Talking Heads. (In the movie, the various actors sing the songs.) This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. Original Soundtrack/Talking Heads: David Byrne (vocals, guitar); Jerry Harrison (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Tina Weymouth (bass guitar, background vocals); Chris Frantz (drums). Heads leader David Byrne directed the film True Stories, which layed out the surreal vision of modern American life often expressed in Talking Heads songs. In the film, the songs Byrne wrote for it are sung ...

Talking Heads Little Creatures CD (1985) Bonus Tracks; Digipak; DualDisc

Naked

$16.79

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. After the abstract funk experimentation of REMAIN IN LIGHT and SPEAKING IN TONGUES, the Heads decided to return to their roots with LITTLE CREATURES. They abandoned the modal, polyrhythmic approach in favor of the two-guitars/4/4 pop structures of yore. While LITTLE CREATURES is the band's most accessible, radio-friendly album, it's not a step backwards by any means, because as they return to the quirky "new wave" style that made them famous, they bring a well-earned sophistication (both harmonic and lyrical) to the table. These advances ...

Silvio Rodriguez Rodriguez CD (1995) Remastered

Naked

$16.29

Here's 11 tracks from Argentine musician Silvio Rodriguez, dedicated to his father; 1994. When Ry Cooder went to Cuba in 1996 in search of the "deeply funky" rhythms the island had been famous for at mid-century -- danzón, bolero, rhumba, son -- the resulting album, The Buena Vista Social Club, made Grammy-winning, arena-packing superstars of its octogenarian musicians, and cleared the way to international airplay and success for dozens of others. And so it came to pass that northern Europeans flocked to salsa classes, that bartenders in the Midwest began serving up mojitos, that Celia Cruz received a queen's burial; yet the international reputation of the unassuming man who is arguably the island's most influential living recording artist failed to profit much at all from these high years of Cubanismo. Silvio Rodriguez plays the guitar and sings with the voice of one of its own high strings, pulled perhaps a little tight. Melancholy, sardonic, tender or bemused, his is an organic music, starting with a spare, oddly syncopated bassline, gaining chords and momentum with each go-round. It's a ballad that arrives half-remembered ...
