This is the pinnacle of Talking Heads' polyrhythmic musical world.
The tension created by David Byrne's conceptual lyrics and Brian Eno's production, while skillfully incorporating the influence of African music, opens up a unique realm. Tracks such as "Once in a Lifetime" have an exquisite balance of repetition and change, and have the power to shake the listener's consciousness. This is a monumental work that has achieved a universal musicality that goes beyond the boundaries of new wave.
