Info zu More Songs About Buildings And Food (Super Deluxe Edition - Remastered)

Talking Heads feiern ihr 50-jähriges Jubiläum mit der Veröffentlichung einer neuen Super-Deluxe-Edition ihres zweiten Albums „More Songs About Buildings and Food“.

Mit Brian Eno, dem ehemaligen Roxy Music-Mitglied und David Bowie-Kollegen, als Produzenten haben die Talking Heads ihren Sound für ihr zweites Album (1978) deutlich erweitert. „More Songs About Buildings and Food“ zählt zu den besten Werken der Talking Heads. Der Einfluss von Produzent Brian Eno ist deutlich spürbar, da er die Band in immer innovativere Gefilde führte. Das gesamte Album, selbst der kleine Hit, eine von Eno bearbeitete Coverversion von Al Greens „Take Me To The River“, klingt auch 36 Jahre später noch erstaunlich frisch.

Die drei Alben enthalten das remasterte Album sowie elf Raritäten, darunter vier unveröffentlichte Versionen von Albumtiteln. Es gibt auch ein Live-Album mit einem Mitschnitt des Auftritts der Band im August 1978 im New Yorker Entermedia Theatre.

Die Wurzeln von „More Songs About Buildings and Food“ liegen 1977 in London, als die Band auf der Tournee zu ihrem Debütalbum den Produzenten Brian Eno kennenlernte. „Als wir ihn in seiner Wohnung besuchten, erkannten wir in seiner Bibliothek sofort Bücher [und Schallplatten] aus unseren eigenen Sammlungen wieder“, erinnert sich Harrison. „Es herrschte gegenseitiger Respekt und ein Gefühl gemeinsamer Empfindsamkeit – alles Vorboten einer angenehmen und erfolgreichen Zusammenarbeit.“ Bald darauf wurden Pläne für gemeinsame Aufnahmen geschmiedet.

Die Aufnahmen begannen im März 1978, als die Band ihre zugigen Lofts in Long Island City gegen die sonnigen Strände der Bahamas tauschte. Sie richteten sich für mehrere Wochen in Chris Blackwells neu errichteten Compass Point Studios ein und waren die erste Band, die dort aufnahm.

„More Songs About Buildings and Food“ erschien im Juli 1978 und war ein Top-40-Hit der Talking Heads, der in den USA Platz 29 erreichte. Es enthielt die erste Hitsingle der Band, ein Cover von Al Greens „Take Me To The River“, das ebenfalls Platz 29 erreichte.

At the start of their career, Talking Heads were all nervous energy, detached emotion, and subdued minimalism. When they released their last album about 12 years later, the band had recorded everything from art-funk to polyrhythmic worldbeat explorations and simple, melodic guitar pop. Between their first album in 1977 and their last in 1988, Talking Heads became one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s, while managing to earn several pop hits. While some of their music can seem too self-consciously experimental, clever, and intellectual for its own good, at their best Talking Heads represent everything good about art-school punks.

And they were literally art-school punks. Guitarist/vocalist David Byrne, drummer Chris Frantz, and bassist Tina Weymouth met at the Rhode Island School of Design in the early '70s; they decided to move to New York in 1974 to concentrate on making music. The next year, the band won a spot opening for the Ramones at the seminal New York punk club CBGB. In 1976, keyboardist Jerry Harrison, a former member of Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers, was added to the lineup. By 1977, the band had signed to Sire Records and released its first album, Talking Heads: 77. It received a considerable amount of acclaim for its stripped-down rock & roll, particularly Byrne's geeky, overly intellectual lyrics and uncomfortable, jerky vocals.

For their next album, 1978's More Songs About Buildings and Food, the band worked with producer Brian Eno, recording a set of carefully constructed, arty pop songs, distinguished by extensive experimenting with combined acoustic and electronic instruments, as well as touches of surprisingly credible funk. On their next album, the Eno-produced Fear of Music, Talking Heads began to rely heavily on their rhythm section, adding flourishes of African-styled polyrhythms. This approach came to a full fruition with 1980's Remain in Light, which was again produced by Eno. Talking Heads added several sidemen, including a horn section, leaving them free to explore their dense amalgam of African percussion, funk bass and keyboards, pop songs, and electronics.

After a long tour, the band concentrated on solo projects for a couple of years. By the time of 1983's Speaking in Tongues, the band had severed its ties with Eno; the result was an album that still relied on the rhythmic innovations of Remain in Light, except within a more rigid pop-song structure. After its release, Talking Heads embarked on another extensive tour, which was captured on the Jonathan Demme-directed concert film Stop Making Sense. After releasing the straightforward pop album Little Creatures in 1985, Byrne directed his first movie, True Stories, the following year; the band's next album featured songs from the film. Two years later, Talking Heads released Naked, which marked a return to their worldbeat explorations, although it sometimes suffered from Byrne's lyrical pretensions.

After its release, Talking Heads were put on 'hiatus'; Byrne pursued some solo projects, as did Harrison, and Frantz and Weymouth continued with their side project, Tom Tom Club. In 1991, the band issued an announcement that they had broken up. Shortly thereafter, Harrison's production took off with successful albums by Live and Crash Test Dummies. In 1996, the original lineup minus Byrne reunited for the album No Talking Just Head; Byrne sued Frantz, Weymouth, and Harrison for attempting to record and perform as Talking Heads, so the trio went by the Heads. In 1999, all four worked together to promote a 15th-anniversary edition of Stop Making Sense, and they also performed at the 2002 induction ceremony for their entrance into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Through the 2010s, Byrne released a number of solo and collaborative projects. Tom Tom Club continued to tour, while Harrison produced albums for the likes of No Doubt, the Von Bondies, and Hockey.
