The Talking Heads - Remain In Light [Rocktober Limited Edition Solid White LP]
Way back in 1980, the original wave of Talking Heads fans were pleasantly stunned to hear Remain in Light, produced and co-written by Brian Eno, on which Byrne and company are joined by guitar god Adrian Belew, and funk legends Bernie Worrell (keyboards) and Steven Scales (percussion), among others, for a fuller, funkier sound nobody imagined they had in them. The first three songs are long, layered, full-body dance parties, with incessantly repeated phrases (musical and lyrical), and increasingly catchy melodic hooks that won't let go for days. "Once in a Lifetime" was the big hit, but the rockingest track is the third, "The Great Curve," after which the songs get more linear and subdued. It's still great stuff, right through to the especially Eno-like droner, "The Overload," but the second half is maybe better to sleep to than dance to. Which is fine: after the exuberance of the first three songs, you'll need a little nap.

The Sex Pistols' only studio album, 1977's Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols was called "just about the most exciting rock & roll records of the Seventies" in Rolling Stone's original review. A quarter-century later, with none of the album's scathing fury and massive influence diminished, the magazine ranked this title #41 on it's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and rightly deemed it, "the Sermon on the Mount of English punk. This album is now available on 180-gram virgin vinyl.
