This soundtrack album from Talking Heads came hard on the heels of the Little Creatures release. A David Byrne film which hinted at even more autonomy he would have in terms of
furure sound. Most soundtrack albums can throw listeners a curve ball or two so on initial

True Stories. " Puzzlin Evidence" and " Love For Sale" pretty good also. The rest very mediocre
and not much to shout about. Recommended for diehard fans only or more specifically, David
Byrne fans. Two stars.
