Talking Heads – Remain In Light (Ltd Edn White Vinyl LP)

Released on white vinyl for Rhino Records' "Rocktober" Reissue.

From their 1977 debut through their Brian Eno and self-produced classics and on to their swan song (1988’s Steve Lillywhite-produced Naked), Talking Heads constantly broke creative boundaries while also scoring smart radio hits including “Burning Down The House,” “Wild Wild Life,” and, from 1980’s Remain In Light, the brilliant “Once In A Lifetime.” Considered by many fans and critics alike to be the band’s best album, Remain In Light was the third release in the Heads/Eno trilogy and fourth overall. More melodic and funkier sounding than that of its predecessors, the recording finds the band further exploring the African rhythms hinted at on 1979’s Fear of Music with the help of a growing personnel that now included Adrian Belew (guitar), Bernie Worrell (keyboards), Steven Scales (percussion) and backing vocalists.

“On this New Wave watershed, the avant-punk avatars became polyrhythmic pop magicians. David Byrne and Co. combined the thrust of P-Funk, the kinky grooves of Afropop and the studied adventurousness of producer Brian Eno – and they still had a pop hit with ‘Once in a Lifetime’.” – Rolling Stone/#129 of the ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time’
