Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues LP Vinyl Record
Talking Heads’ 1982 "Speaking In Tongues" represents the tightrope act between sophisticated underground and danceable, catchy songs. The lyrics convey fear, paranoia and alienation in an abstract and associative way, are supported musically by hectic beats and garish synth sounds and the songs still hang. This sound fits just as perfectly in the New York 'No Wave' scene as it does in the clubs in London.
Non-western sounds and funky rhythms had infected talking heads music prior to 1983 pop breakthrough, however, "Speaking In Tongues" is where the beat truly gels. The band's quirky, nerdy persona somehow blends easily with music borrowed from the African diaspora. The album also marks one of the last true band collaborations, before Byrne reduced his partners to mere sidemen.
