{"product_id":"talking-heads-stop-making-sense-2024-remastered","title":"Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (2024 Remastered)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the most acclaimed bands of the post-punk era, a vision of innovative art-pop featuring David Byrne's manic yelp over tight R\u0026amp;B grooves. At the start of their career, Talking Heads were all nervous energy, detached emotion, and subdued minimalism. When they released their last album about 12 years later, the band had recorded everything from art-funk to polyrhythmic worldbeat explorations and simple, melodic guitar pop. Between their first album in 1977 and their last in 1988, Talking Heads became one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s, while managing to earn several pop hits. While some of their music can seem too self-consciously experimental, clever, and intellectual for its own good, at their best Talking Heads represent everything good about art-school punks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTalking Heads’ complete \u003cem\u003eStop Making Sense\u003c\/em\u003e concert film soundtrack finally sees the expanded release it richly deserves, via a stunning new 40th anniversary 2LP edition. T\u003cspan\u003ehe official press release for this 2LP reissue, Sire reports the following: “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eStop Making Sense\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was an artistic and commercial triumph when it arrived in September 1984. The film had people dancing in theatre aisles, while the soundtrack sold over two million copies. Just last year, the Library of Congress added \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eStop Making Sense\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to the National Film Registry in recognition of its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eByrne is in fine voice here: Never before had he sounded warmer or more approachable, as evidenced by his soaring rendition of \"Once in a Lifetime.\" Though almost half the album focuses on\u003cem\u003e Speaking in Tongues\u003c\/em\u003e material, the band makes room for one of Byrne's Catherine Wheel tunes (the hard-driving, elliptical \"What a Day That Was\") as well as up-tempo versions of \"Pyscho Killer\" and \"Take Me to the River.\" If anything, S\u003cem\u003etop Making Sense\u003c\/em\u003e's emphasis on keyboards and rhythm is its greatest asset as well as its biggest failing: Knob-tweakers Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison play up their parts at the expense of the treblier aspects of the performance, and fans would have to wait almost 15 years for reparations. Still, for a generation that may have missed the band's seminal '70s work, \u003cem\u003eStop Making Sense\u003c\/em\u003e proves to be an excellent primer. — (via AllMusic)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0ydE6hjtxC05pkX164DnuK?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Sire \/ Rhino\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Worldwide\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2024 \/ Original Release: 1984\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Rock, Funk \/ Soul, Stage \u0026amp; Screen\u003cbr\u003eStyle: New Wave, Post-Punk, Art Rock, Soundtrack, Funk, Pop Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative Rock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: School of Rock\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44282758234270,"sku":"603497824007","price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/ab67616d0000b273a1e4875ae577615f007b87fc.jpg?v=1725948901","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/talking-heads-stop-making-sense-2024-remastered","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
