the album Speaking in tongues (1983) charted 15 in the US billboard charts and 21 in the UK charts which is a great success for an art punk band at this time.
the limited edition LP version of speaking in tongues (pictured above) won the artist Robert Rauschenberg a Grammy,this album looks and sounds perfect.
Written by Talking Heads front man David Byrne the album features tracks such as "Burning down the house" and "Naive melody" with the instrumental sounding just as good as the lyrics and vocal on all tracks,this isn't an amateur album,it isn't a bubblegum album and it is something that i can listen to again and again.I got the album from a hmv when i was 13 after hearing a talking heads track on the simpsons and the more i listen to their music the more i appreciate how much of the band goes into their music,which is as rare now as it was then.
