Remain in Light

Remain in Light is the fourth album of the Talking Heads and the last album that Brian Eno produced for the band. Partly because of the solo project My life in the bush of ghosts of David Byrne and Eno was the relationship between them and Tina Weymouth / Chris Frantz cooled.

To 'Remain in Light' are the characteristics of 'Fear of Music' and My life in the bush of ghosts, namely funk , African polyrhythms and sampling elaborated. The results are mostly long tracks with their funky groove, with a strong role for keyboards and electronics and African polyphonic rhythms produce a potent hypnotic sound. To get the full sound, the quartet supplemented with guest musicians, including a complete copper horn section and guitarist Adrian Belew, known for his work with Frank Zappaand later with King Crimson . Other guest musicians Robert Palmer , Nona Hendryx and Jon Hassel . The song 'Once in a lifetime' is a fixture in the Top 2000 .

In 1980 and 1981 rpm the Talking Heads in support of the album. To this end the band with seven members is extended: Adrian Belew , Bernie Worrell , Jose Rossy ,Steven Stanley , Busta Cherry Jones and, in the background choir, Hendryx and Dollette McDonald .

In 1996 covert Phish the entire album.
