Fear of Music is Talking Heads at their most nervy and brilliant, and this limited Super Deluxe Edition box expands the 1979 album across three CDs and a Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos audio.
Their third album, made again with Brian Eno, pushed the band toward something darker and more rhythmic. David Byrne's lyrics fixated on everyday objects and anxieties, from cities to air itself, while the band of Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison locked into grooves that pointed straight toward the African-influenced experiments to come.
I Zimbra opens with a polyrhythmic chant built on Dada poetry, a bold statement that this was no ordinary new wave record. Life During Wartime is the anthem, a tense, funky dispatch from an imagined underground where there is no time for dancing. Cities bustles with restless energy, and Heaven, a fragile, slow-motion ballad, remains one of the most beautiful songs Byrne ever wrote.
Alongside a fresh remaster of the album, the extra discs dig into outtakes and alternate versions and add live recordings from the 1979 tour, while the Blu-ray offers immersive and high-resolution mixes.
Set for release as a limited box, it is a serious upgrade for anyone who has worn out their old copy.
