Space age art-funk from the Talking Head; basking in the aftershock of Remain In Light and Bush Of Ghosts. Byrne was always the high-priest of funk and guru of dance so this commission makes sense. And Eno does some appropriate knob twiddling (those two were surfing the crest of the zeitgeist wave around this time.)
Good workout music - a manageable 40 minutes on hot and sweaty vinyl. The album starts as ambient funk but Byrne does get those strident vocals more involved (with all his trademark tics and quirks shifting into overdrive). This hampers the flow of the piece for me but three quarters of his work on the score of The Catherine Wheel Production is great!
