The fourth studio album by the American punk band. Following the release of their previous album 'Fear of Music' in 1979, the quartet and Eno sought to dispel notions of the band as a mere vehicle for frontman and lyricist David Byrne. Drawing on the influence of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, the band experimented with African polyrhythms, funk, and electronics, recording instrumental tracks as a series of looping grooves. Features the singles 'Once in a Lifetime' and 'Houses in Motion'.

1. Born Under Punches - Talking Heads (5.48)
2. Crosseyed and Painless - Talking Heads (4.5)

Talking Heads rose out of the CBGB punk crucible and proved themselves one of the most artistically adventurous and influential bands ever. Their visionary, polyrhythmic sound fused elements including rock, funk, and punk with diverse world beats, avant-garde minimalism, and pure pop genius. This is the 1980 Brian Eno-produced classic.

At that time, in 1980, long-serving talking heads fans were somewhat -and pleasant! - surprised by this album. Co-produced and co-written by Brian Eno, Byrne and his people were accompanied by guitar god Adrian Belew, funk legend Bernie Worrell on keyboards and Steven Scales as percussionist.
Together with other players this made for a much fuller and funkier sound than on the previous albums. The first three songs are the only extensive dance parties in which musical and lyrical lines are repeated endlessly. In addition, there are absolute catchy tunes, which still buzz around in your head after days. "Once in a Lifetime" was the big hit, but the rockiest title is number three, "The Great Curve". Funk dominates the New Wave sounds of the Heads even more than on the previous album 'Fe
