Description
On this episode, we look at what is regarded by most critics as the Talking Head's masterpiece: Remain in Light. Brian Eno, who had produced their previous two LPs, took a more active role in the songwriting and playing and pushed the band to explore the African rhythms he had been exploring with the band's singer and main songwriter, David Byrne. It is an album of experimentation with songs culled from jam sessions where the members frequently changed instruments. Perhaps the album's most interesting elements come from the guest guitarist, Adrian Belew (formerly a member of Frank Zappa and David Bowie’s touring band and later a member of King Crimson).
