1981-SIRE
Produced By BRIAN ENO & DAVID BYRNE
1. America Is Waiting
2. Mea Culpa
3. Regiment
4. Help Me Somebody
5. The Jezebel Spirit
6. Very, Very Hungry
7. Moonlight In Glory
8. The Carrier
9. A Secret Life
10. Come With Us
11. Mountain Of Needles
You would think that the pairing of two of rock's biggest eccentrics would result in something unlistenable. But former Roxy Music keyboardist Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne combine their musical obsessions into something much more accessible than you would think, and something that was, in 1981, an unknown journey into world music.
Not that this is in any way a pop album. But Eno and Byrne create accessible songs here, with Byrne's love of African rhythms complimented by Eno's eccentric noise. It doesn't work on every track, but when it does, you'll find the mixture more than satisfying. [First added to this chart: 05/29/2012]
