{"product_id":"talking-heads-remain-in-light-1","title":"Talking Heads - Remain In Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eRemain in Light is where Talking Heads stopped sounding like a New York art-rock band and started sounding like nothing else on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1980, the band's fourth album was their third and final collaboration with producer Brian Eno, recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas and Sigma Sound in New York. Inspired by the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti, they built songs from layered, looping grooves rather than traditional verse-chorus structures. Guitarist Adrian Belew, singer Nona Hendryx and trumpeter Jon Hassell joined in, while David Byrne adopted a scattered, stream-of-consciousness lyrical style inspired partly by early rap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe results are thrilling and strange. \"Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)\" opens with tangled, polyrhythmic funk and chattering guitars, while \"Crosseyed and Painless\" races along on nervous energy. \"Once in a Lifetime\" became the album's signature, Byrne's preacher-like delivery questioning the trappings of a normal life over a hypnotic, rolling bassline. \"The Great Curve\" piles on percussion, chanted vocals and wild guitar until the whole thing feels ready to lift off the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than four decades later, Remain in Light still sounds like the future. It is an essential document of a band rewriting its own rules, and a cornerstone of any serious record collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57351054623025,"sku":"081227080211","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Talking_Heads-Remain_In_Light.jpg?v=1793980004","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/talking-heads-remain-in-light-1","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
