Talking Heads – Speaking In Tongues (180G Vinyl LP)
$48.00
“Burning Down The House,” was the Talking Head’s first and only Top 10 hit in the U.S. featured on their 1983 Sire release Speaking In Tongues, the band’s fifth studio effort and commercial breakthrough. Speaking In Tongues also includes the track “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody),” regarded as the Talking Heads’ first love song and the tour for the album yielded the famous Jonathan Demme film Stop Making Sense.
“Speaking in Tongues, Talking Heads’ first studio release in three years, is the album that finally obliterates the thin line separating arty white pop music and deep black funk. Picking up where their 1980 Afro-punk fusion Remain in Light left off, this LP consummates the Heads’ marriage of art-school intellect and dance-floor soul. Imbued with an adventurous spirit that’s as close to Television’s Marquee Moon as it is to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Grand Master Flash’s “The Message” and Nigerian high-life music, Speaking in Tongues gives new meaning to the word crossover.” – David Fricke, Rolling Stone
