Album Notes Talking Heads: David Byrne (vocals, guitar); Jerry Harrison (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Tina Weymouth (bass, background vocals); Chris Frantz (drums, background vocals).Additional personnel: Alex Weir (guitar, background vocals); Bernie Worrell (keyboards); Steve Scales (percussion); Lynn Mabry, Ednah Holt (background vocals).Recorded live at The Pantages Theatre, Hollywood, California in December 1983. All tracks have been digitally remastered.The Talking Heads concert film STOP MAKING SENSE, recorded at a 1983 Hollywood performance, brought audiences everywhere face to face with the very visual aesthetic of conceptual artiste David Byrne and his cohorts. Playing the part of performance artist, Byrne used elaborate visual gimmicks to enhance the themes of his songs for maximum visceral impact. Serendipitously, STOP MAKING SENSE captured the band at an artistic peak, as it consists mostly of material from the glorious funk-inspired albums REMAIN IN LIGHT and SPEAKING IN TONGUES. Live, complemented by a phalanx of great auxiliary musicians, the Heads emphasize the funkier aspects of their jumpy art-dance concepts, and tunes like "Burning Down the House" and "Girlfriend is Better," already impressive in their studio versions, seem to jump off the album.

Reviews  Talking Heads-Stop Making Sense(CD 1999) A top collection of songs from a great band. The sound quality is very good and if you are after 1 CD of Talking Heads material, I would recommend this one. Review ID: 10000000006111648 Was this review helpful? Report this review Now That's What I Call 'Stop Making Sense' on CD...Review created: 10/02/08(updated 10/02/08) by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Back in 1984 I took a young lady I went out with once or twice to see David Byrne's film 'Stop Making Sense' and it was an interesting experience. I loved it. She hated it. I was Right. She was wrong. Where is she now? Who cares! As far as I'm concerned the film in general, and Byrne's 'Big Suit' in particular, prove just how talented that man is. It was a truly innovative performance. Like the earlier CD release this is not Quite the soundtrack of the film but it does include many of the songs from the brilliant film [and six more than the 1993 CD] and most of them have been digitally remastered to give a crisper, cleaner sound. There is an interesting version of 'Physco Killer' [from 'Talking Heads: 77'], not the best version but very interesting nonetheless. This particular version of 'Burning Down The house' [from 'Speaking In Tongues'] is certainly worth hearing. I quite liked this version of 'Girlfriend Is Better', not bad, not bad at all. I have always been fond of 'Life During Wartime' [from 'Fear Of Music'] and this version is pretty much as good as it gets. I have to say it is really nice to see they have included the 'Tom Tom Club' track 'Genius of Love' this time around. Martina Weymouth, Mmmm... If you want to own 'Stop Making Sense' buy the DVD. However, if you don't want the DVD or simply have to have it on CD make sure you get THIS version NOT the 1993 version which only includes nine tracks because some of them are decidedly dodgy! Listen and Enjoy... Regards tbod Review ID: 10000000005564416 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
