Edited one year agoFinally got my hands on this record and got lucky with this version. Sounds great, dead quiet and is a record I will enjoy listening to forever. So good
-
Inspired collaboration of Byrne’s Talking Heads-ish polyrhythms & Eno's ambient soundscapes result in funky rhythmic moody compositions mixed with esoteric murmuring vocals sampled bits from radio talk shows & ethnic music. Maybe influenced by Holger Czukay’s ’79 LP Movies?
Spooky emotional forward-thinking music.
