It is strange and unusual that is seen as progressive music containing certain repetitive tendencies, but I recognize that it is.

The rhythm of Talking Heads is innovative, and David Byrne is a precursor in style. Sometimes repetition is mesmerizing, with guitars and keyboards working in parallel, as in Houses in Motion. This does not mean that the music is easy to digest, it is necessary to devote time and attention. Once in a Lifetime and Listening Wind are timeless classics, and Born Under Punches is lively and fresh.

Art music complex and bold, but without excess. The experiments of Byrne and company, together with the intelligent participation of Eno and Belew had a refined and lasting fruit.

4 + stars.
