Amazon offers Fear of Music (Audio CD),25 October, 1990 List price $11.98 The Talking Heads' dark masterpiece. / 5 Conceivably the best album the Talking Heads ever recorded, "Fear of Music" is the band's second album in collaboration with producer Brian Eno, and it strikes a perfect balance between the strengths of the band and that of the producer. The album ended up being significantly darker than anything the band had done previously, the manic and somewhat paranoid content of the music on the previous albums takes on a claustrophobic feel, and yet amidst all of this, the structures are at times brighter and looser than anything the band had previously done. In a way, it's opener "I Zimbra" that probably best illustrates this-- featuring a polyrhythmic stew, a circular (pre-80s Crimson) and incredibly complex interweaving guitar lick from guest Robert Fripp and a chanted in harmony vocal-- it's quite unlike anything the Talking Heads have ever done. It's also a work of complete musical genius. What the piece does is add a sense of density to the music-- a sense that turns claustrophobic pretty much throughout, whether its the bizarre "Another Green World"-esque "Mind", the bubbling, chaotic and psychotic "Cities" or "Animals" (both of which feature rant-like vocals that end up providing extraordinary character to the pieces), or the murky and paranoid "Memories Can't Wait" (one of the real standouts on the album and maybe the darkest cut in the band's catalog) and fractured, black closer "Drugs", its the same band but its all different. Along the way, there's a couple interludes to this-- "Life During Wartime" has a dance rhythm but lyrically matches the rest of the record, "Heaven" offers a pool of serenity and calm admist the insanity-- the chorus tells us "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens", and somehow this proves true for the piece-- it comes and goes and feels like it barely happened but leaves an impression. This album was recently reissued as a dualdisc-- I'd highly recommend that release, it has a sonic upgrade and a handful of bonus tracks that make it worth the extra cost over this release. "Fear of Music", in the end, is one of those endlessly powerful albums that bears rewards upon repeated listens. While it may not be representative of the Talking Heads as a whole, it is probably their best effort. Essential. Song "Uh-Oh, Love Comes To Town" Wait, wait for the moment to come Stand up, stand up and take my hand Believe, believe in mystery Love love love love is simple as 1-2-3 I'm a know-it-all, I'm smartest man around That's right, you learn real fast through the smartest girl in town Here come a riddle, here come a clue If you were really smart, you'd know what to do When... Jump back, sit back, get back, relax It's ok I've called in sick I won't go to Work today I'd rather be with the One I love I neglect my duties, I be in trouble but I've been to college, I've been to school I've met the people that you read about in books Here come a riddle, here come a clue If you were really smart you'd know what to do when I say Jet pilot gone out of control, ship captain on the ground Stock broker make a bad investment when love has come to town Where, where is my common sense? How...did I get in a jam like this? Believe, I believe in mystery Love, love love love is simple as 1-2-3 Here come a riddle, here come a clue If you were really smart, you'd know what to do when I say Why am I going out of my head, whenever you're around? The answer is obvious, love has come to town
