'Popular favourites' is the sub-title to this double compilation album of one of New York's finest. 33 foot tapping songs later and you want to replay it. It contains all the usual favourites, almost a studio version of the immacualte Live - The Name of this band is Talking Heads. The early tracks see Byrne's uncomfortable often wavy vocals sit above a neat and tidy simplistic rythym in the classical mould. The middle 'ages' contain their best driving songs with a heavy jungle beat and these are probably best heard on live performances - 'Cross-eyed and painless' and 'I Zimbra' being classic examples. The latter day songs show a great deal of maturity and comfort in the way they are put across with Byrne sounding more comfortable with his uncomfortableness. The band playing well within their capabilities. If you are not aware of anything by them other than 'Psycho Killer' then this is a great album to get hold of and get into.Read full review
EASILY THE BEST TALKING HEADS SAMPLER OUT THERE, HAS SOME OF THE BEST DEMO AND EARLY TRACKS (SUGAR ON MY TONGUE, LOVE---BUILDING ON FIRE, I WANT TO LIVE) THROUGH TO THEIR LATER HIGHER BUDGET RECORDINGS (ROAD TO NOWHERE, WILD WILD LIFE ETC)... DAVID BYRNE IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST INVENTIVE AND UNIQUE SONGWRITERS OUT THERE, ON PAR WITH CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, MARK E SMITH ETC.. THIS TWIN CD IS FULL OF CATCHY, POSITIVE TUNES ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH. ONCE YOU HAVE BOUGHT THIS YOU WILL BE HOOKED... CHECK OUT TALKING HEADS 77, FEAR OF MUSIC, SPEAKING IN TONGUES, REMAIN IN LIGHT... ALL MASTERPIECES IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE TO HEADS WAS PERHAPS IN THEIR LATTER YEARS... THEY WROTE A FEW DUFFERS (HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF THEM). BUT OVERALL, DAVID BYRNE HAS BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH HIS CREATIVE SONGWRITING AND SOLO PROJECTS..Read full review
I like the fact, that the first cd, is a lot of songs you dont know even if your a talking heads fan, then the second seems to be filled with all the favourites. Excellent double album.
