This must be Talking Heads — A song by song, album by album look at their music

By 1994 it was more important that ever that David Byrne could prove there was an audience for his unique style of art rock. After a number of high-concept albums, he returned with a more accessible yet eclectic series of tunes that not only build on the grooves on earlier projects but reach a new depth of introspection and emotional reflection.

Tracks:

• A long time ago
• Angels
• Crash
• A self-made man
• Back in the box
• Sad song
• Nothing at all
• My love is you
• Lilies of the valley
• You & Eye
• Strange ritual
• Buck naked
• Live cover: Gypsy woman

David Byrne's follow up to Rei Momo, the 1992 LP "Uh-oh" co-incided with the official end of Talking Heads. A new producer helped bring a clean, commercial sound to David's oddball instrumentation and left of center lyrics. While the songs were still like children to him, the overall album needed to walk the line of appealing to his previous Talking Heads audience while also showing that he wasn't taking himself too seriously and didn't mind whether you liked it or not.

Tracks:

• Now I'm your mom
• Girls on my mind
• Something ain't right
• She's mad
• Hanging upside down
• A walk in the dark
• Twistin' in the wind
• The Cowboy Mambo (Hey lookit me now)
• Monkey Man
• A million miles away
• Tiny Town
• Somebody
• Live cover: Who were you thinking of (w. Richard Thompson)

We've finally reached the first pure David Byrne solo album, no theatre soundtrack or main collaborators, David was free to do whatever he wanted and this was it. I hope this gives everyone an insight into not just the album, but a glimpse at David's genuine passion for this music, which critics at the time labelled as passion-less and uninspired. My goal, as always, is to prove that it's anything but!

• Independence Day

• The call of the wild
