The polyrhythmic layering here drew directly from Byrne's deep study of Fela Kuti and Afrobeat, pulling the band into genuinely new territory and influencing a generation of post-punk and funk-adjacent artists who followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWay back in 1980, the original wave of Talking Heads fans were pleasantly stunned to hear Remain in Light, produced and co-written by Brian Eno, on which Byrne and company are joined by guitar god Adrian Belew, and funk legends Bernie Worrell (keyboards) and Steven Scales (percussion), among others, for a fuller, funkier sound nobody imagined they had in them. The first three songs are long, layered, full-body dance parties, with incessantly repeated phrases (musical and lyrical), and increasingly catchy melodic hooks that won't let go for days. \"Once in a Lifetime\" was the big hit, but the rockingest track is the third, \"The Great Curve,\" after which the songs get more linear and subdued. It's still great stuff, right through to the especially Eno-like droner, \"The Overload,\" but the second half is maybe better to sleep to than dance to. Which is fine: after the exuberance of the first three songs, you'll need a little nap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) (5:46)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Crosseyed And Painless (4:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. The Great Curve (6:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Once In A Lifetime (4:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Houses In Motion (4:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Seen And Not Seen (3:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Listening Wind (4:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. The Overload (6:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 075992609524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warner Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.25.90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455498530971,"sku":"111988","price":10.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-talking-heads-remain-in-light-cd-relix.jpg?v=1777515168","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/talking-heads-remain-in-light-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
