The musical transition that seemed to have just begun with Fear of Music came to fruition on Talking Heads' fourth album, Remain in Light.
"I Zimbra" and "Life During Wartime" from the earlier album served as the blueprints for a disc on which the group explored African polyrhythms on a series of driving groove tracks, over which David Byrne chanted and sang his typically disconnected lyrics.
Remain in Light had more words than any previous Heads record, but they counted for less than ever in the sweep of the music and the complex soundscapes conjured by Brian Eno
