| Talking Heads > Albums & Lyrics |
The Talking Heads was one the most intelligent and highly praised volume and of the eighties seventies. Altogether 10 albums were published since 1976. With its unorthodox sound the Talkings Heads was promoted fast to cult volume of the last two decades. Talking Heads music was too alike to art and Pop. 1991 separated the volume officially.
Now the three musicians of the original LINE UP, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth (without the Songwriter and singers David Byrne) firmieren as The Heads and take the bases of its sound, in order to ring in a new era of their musician careers. The result of these part Reunion is present with the here available album "NO Talking - Just Head".
Since "escape From new York" route, together with which Ramones 1990, had the three musicians no longer together on the stage confessed. In the meantime Harrison made itself Live, which Crash test Dummies and Violent Femmes earns as a producer of the groups. Weymouth and Frantz produced successful Acts such as Ziggy Marley, the Happy Mondays, its own project Tom Tom club, apart from a quantity of other artists and groups.
Harrison says "no matter how much fun a producing also makes, one misses playing in that volume." For this reason recruited Frantz, Harrison and Weymouth 1995 the Girarristen blow, which Tina and Chris could do from their time on the Bahamas. They went together into the Heimstudio from Tina and Chris into Connecticut and began new photographs to prepare. "finally we have our own sound. Nobody sounds as we ", says Tina. Probably was. The Talking Heads was one few volume, whose musical handwriting one could read like a signature, like the Kolorierung the singular voice.
For "NO Talking - Just Head" could be occurred to The Heads something special. Within fewer weeks Frantz, Harrison, Weymouth produced and blow approximately a Duzend Songs. This Songs had everything, except a text. Thus they wrote a list with the singers and Songschreibern most interesting for it and sent to them cartridges with the Playbacks. Among them were old friends such as Debbie Harry, Richard bright and Andy Partridge (its volume XTC many years ago vorgruppe of the Talking Heads was). They sent the volumes away also to new friends such as Johnette Napolitano (Concrete blond one), Michael Hutchence (INXS), Maria Mc Kee, Shaun Ryder (Black Grape), Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes), OD Kowalczyk (Live) and Gavin Friday. For the TRACK "Punk Lolita" contributes Tina Weymouth with a Tom Tom club Style singing insert as well as Debbie and Johnette. Particularly successfully and a jewel is the contribution of Malin Anneteg, for which Song "NO More Lonely Nights", which the New Yorker Word performance artist speaks
.
All singers and Performer on "NO Talking - Just Head" wrote their Songtexte to themselves. Maria McKee came for example to Connecticut, remained for one week and wrote the text to "NO Big fears for OF A one" during the breakfast, sang him then on the same morning and finished was the Song. "NO Talking - Just Head" of Debbie Harris does not only give its name to the album, but also during the olympic plays into Atlanta of the American TV transmitter NBC as Trailermusik was inserted. With their text sheets in the hand all artists by-forming on the album came to west haven. "the result is an album of amazing consistency and at the same time large variety", says Harrison. Like a red thread the sound of The Heads pulls itself by the album. The musical handwriting specified before is always readable and present. "NO Talking - Just Head" is evenly no sound TRACK or a Compilation, but the album of The Heads, also and straight because directly eleven different singers and Songschreiber arise. This proceeding of The He
ads makes sense. Because also the volume Talking Heads was a very flexible volume project. The first TRACKS developed its time as Trio, after Weymouth, Frantz and Byrne at New York arrived. (you had terminated the straight Rhode Island School for Design.) Harrison pushed only two years later to volume. When the group became more well-known, they co-operated with many different artists. Among them a quantity of hochkaraetiger Perkussionisten or also Brian Eno, which worked starting from the second album for the volume as a producer. "we see our art as a small model for kollaboration. And we loved, say the elements of the surprise always "Weymouth.
The volume members and musical heads of the Heads wrote as Talking Heads music history. They continue the tradition of their sound with its new volume project The Heads. Their music was always a combination of intelligence and the sense for fun. The musical work and history of the Heads are reflected on the here available album outstanding by such different Songschreibern and singers such as Hutchence, Partrige, Kowalczyk, McKee or Anneteg.
"NO Talking Just Head" takes up not only the thread of the past. It shows us also clearly the way into the future of the Heads. In October those will go to volume again on route. As Leadsaenger Johnette Napolitano one obligated. Some the artist represented on the album for select DATES on the stage will likewise appear. This is an uncommon and unorthodox beginning... however, when has the Heads us ever something else ordered?
