David Byrne & Brian Eno

OK, here I go again touting about some new music that I've bought lately. I've always been a Talking Head fan and this disc is great. Nice with flowing melodies. Just enough electro tech. to make it interesting. David Bryne is very underrated. That guy uh, oh yea Springsteen wishes he could be this talented. Very seductive and mesmerizing. Seems that a lot of good music comming out lately. Also like the Madeleine Peyroux "bare bones" plus, the best of Bill Frisell Vol. 1| Folk Songs. It seems in the hardest times that music is the best. Or maybe I'm just more open to it.

So far, the new one doesn't do it for me - might need some more time with it, though. Talking Heads did some great stuff in their day(The live recordings of Crosseyed and Painless, et al would be the peak for me) but Eno's music always seemed to be just plain amazing. I'm not sure how many records sound as vital as "Taking Tiger Mountain" 30+ years on.

Favorite Lyric:
"Sweet Regina's gone to China, Newsweek on her knee,
While far below, the curlews call from strangely stunted trees"

IMHO, might have worked better with "curlews crow", but - either way - the guy has a knack for the sound of language.
