This is the 1981 album released by David Byrne, the central figure of The Talking Heads, who recently showcased his construction skills in Spike Lee's film "American Utopia." Originally created for choreographer Twyla Tharp's dance project, the music actually totaled 73 minutes, but this release features 11 edited tracks specifically for the album. It includes A3, where the Prophet Scream is skillfully used to create an Oriental image with high-speed beats, A4 which links to his collaboration with Brian Eno on "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts," and A5, a classic dance track. This album inherits the style of Talking Heads while further emphasizing experimental tendencies. It comes with the original inner sleeve and card, likely pressed in Jacksonville.
