Talking Heads

We could see groups grow, their music changed ... more or less. The cold fire of the first Television did not survive the second. Acne Ramones was carefully maintained with rifle BigMac. Blondie was shining in his formula one round bumper cars. And the Talking Heads? They seemed to type in the vein "rock naive" but let Jonathan Richman run itself after Buddy Holly. Home blood flowing a little more black and thickens in the second album. The songwriting of David Byrne growing in amplitude, his voice in insurance. The arrival at the helm of the good doctor Eno does not mean regime change. The synths are parsimonious and Jerry Harrison, as in '77, is mostly second guitar. The influence of Roxy Music? It was already there, you can feel a little more (Found A Job, Artists Only). Byrne Ferry more than Bowie? Issue made of none, he drops his horses, stuff is (the end out of The Good Thing).Business becomes really serious on the front two. I'm Not In Love has a killer riff, the first matrix can Feelies. The band cuts off the momentum in the middle, to leave. It is ripe for Stay Hungry, with the bass line the most haunting (and extremely simple) never played by Tina Weymouth. Co-written by Byrne with Frantz, a piece almost without words. The lout was the stump that itch and it can no longer hide for long. Not a thinker, a dancer. Maybe a little weird and jerky, but ... Make a motion, make a motion make a motion ... pull it tight, pull it tight, pull it tight ... Then at the end, it flat on a sheet "enossifiée" here That rhythm again ... here's the sound I made ... The following is a very moist version of Take Me To The River Al Green, who will remain at their soul and thrill the charts. For input, the pedal-steel sign of The Big Country one of the most sarcastic anthem to the American way of life, squeaked by an angel keatonien.
