Girls at our Best! – Pleasure (1981)

Koselig post-punk/funk. Liker kansje best Warm Girls, og Heaven og Go for Gold kansje.

Television – Marquee Moon (1977)

Et band litt i stil med Talking Heads, og fra nogenlunde samme sted og musikkæra. Litt vanskelig å plukke favorittlåter da jeg liker hele plata i sammenheng, men kansje Venus, Marquee Moon, og Elevation. De andre par platene dems er og bra.

Et vakkert, melodiøst mesterverk!

Magazine – Secondhand Daylight (1979)

Dette fantastiske, frekke og geniale post-punk- bandet med Howard Devoto i spissen har vært en storfavoritt over lengre tid.

De har mange bra album, men nå er det ikke lenge siden jeg fikk hamstret denne på vinyl, og derfor er jeg gira på denne grønne lekkerbisken akkurat nå.

Anbefaler å sette på sang nr. en. Den deilige lyden dette albumet har, synthen og de fantastiske vendingene. Lyden på trommene! Bassriffet! Hør! Og Howard synger frekt og freidig og passer lydbildet perfekt.

Så kan du godt sette på «The Thin Air». Den skal bare nytes. Lyden….introen….og en deilig oppbygning. Her får man faktisk litt Pink Floyd – assosiasjoner. Hør på saksofonen! Det er vakkert!

Det er to sanger med ganske forskjellige stemninger. Så er det også sangen «Rythm of Cruelty», som er et fint eksempel på at man også kan bli tatt med til et ganske så flott «happysted». 

«Permafrost». Hva skal man si.. Første sang jeg hørte med de. Mørk og kald. Permafrostkald.

Magazine er rett og slett adrenalin for meg.

Prøv ut! 😀

Gang of Four – Entertainment! (1979)

Post-punksk og New-Wavesk om du vil. Kjenner ikke alt for mye til dem utenom diverse hits.

Talking Heads – Remain in Light (1980)

Remain in Light is the fourth studio album by American New Wave band Talking Heads, released on October 8, 1980 on Sire Records. It was recorded at locations in the Bahamas and the United States between July and August 1980 and was produced by the quartet’s long-time collaborator Brian Eno. The album peaked at number 19 on the Billboard 200 in the US and at number 21 on the UK Albums Chart. Two singles were released from Remain in Light: «Once in a Lifetime» and «Houses in Motion» as well as promotional single «Crosseyed and Painless». The record was certified Gold in the US and in Canada during the 1980s.

The members of Talking Heads wanted to make an album that dispelled notions of frontman and chief lyricist David Byrne leading a back-up band. They decided to experiment with African polyrhythms and, with Eno, recorded the instrumental tracks as a series of samples and loops, a novel idea at the time. Additional musicians were frequently used throughout the studio sessions. The lyric writing process slowed Remain in Light’s progress, but was concluded after Byrne drew inspiration from academic literature on Africa. The artwork was crafted with the help of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s computers and designing company M&Co.. Following the album’s completion, Talking Heads expanded to nine members for promotional concerts.

Remain in Light was widely acclaimed by critics. Praise centred on its cohesive merging of disparate genres and sonic experimentation. The record has featured in several publications’ lists of the best albums of the 1980s and the best albums of all time. It is often considered Talking Heads’ magnum opus. In 2006, it was remastered and reissued with the addition of four unfinished outtakes.
