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 allow the band to knock out a crop of winners, like the anti-anthem "Road To Nowhere," the semi-mystical (but still damn catchy) "And She Was" and the we've-got-a-baby-now, let's-party-with-him rocker "Stay Up Late." Nothing here is as groundbreaking as BUILDINGS AND FOOD, but it's still the Talking Heads, full of idiosyncratic charm and smart-but-infectious tunes.
This Dualdisc features the full album on the CD side along with bonus CD tracks "And She Was" and "Road to Nowhere," along with an extended mix of "Television Man>" The DVD side presents the music videos for "And She Was" and "Road to Nowhere."
Recorded at Sigma Sound, New York, New York.

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 ...

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 ...

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
The Heads' second album found them building on the twitchy "new wave" sound they established with their debut while using that approach as a springboard for new lyrical and musical innovations. The band's sonic pallette is a bit wider here; the interplay between the guitars of David Byrne and Jerry Harrison is more fully developed here, ...

When they burst out of the New York underground/CBGB's movement, the Heads stood apart from the pack because not only were they unlike anything that gone before, they were even anomalous to their contemporaries. A million miles from the detached irony of Blondie or the willful ...

True to the tradition of Indie singer-songwriter-performers,Heidi Swan, has been stunning audiences from Montana to Salt Lake, and from Elko through the Pacific Northwest. Heidi Swan alternates between the intimacy of solo shows when it's Heidi and her keyboard, the musical introspection of her duo performances, and the soulful, high energy rock of her eight-piece band called Soul Decision. Original material, and 'covers' the way they should have been done in the first place, are all part of the Heidi Swan experience. There's Rock, R&B, Blues, a smattering of jazz and, at times, a hole torn through your heart. Heidi's a story teller, and the stories are real.Growing up in Whitehall, Montana (look under towns too small to show up in your atlas), Heidi has been an avid music enthusiast since her youth. From a small town background, Heidi grew up with big dreams,and a big voice and talent to make those dreams come true. Heidi has an innate songwriting ability and an overwhelming drive to make music that matters. But Heidi didn't grow up in a thriving music scene like Seattle or Minneapolis or Austin - maybe that's why her debut CD,simply called "Plain Words", sounds so different. "Plain Words" isn't canned or packaged or slick. In fact, some of the songs are scary because the emotion is so bare-naked. Like Joni Mitchell, Heidi Swan plays by ear. Like Jackson Browne, her whole heart's in every single song. And like pneumonia, her first release has an infectious groove that will kick your ass!Because Heidi's base of operations is in Montana, she's left her mark in the best of Montana's classic rock clubs, coffee houses, jazz clubs and festivals. She's rocked out at ...
