Remain in the Light: The Talking Heads (1980)
The Talking Heads wanted people to realize they were a group and not David Byrne with a backing band. Remain in the Light included African rhythms and studio innovations such as samples and loops. Byrne used Africa as lyrical inspiration. Despite this, the album’s most endearing work, “Once in a Lifetime” deals with a midlife crisis.
Aenima: Tool (1996)
The album’s title combines enema with anima. Much of the work connects song to song through short segues. The band itself is camera shy, so their videos tend to exclude them. For example, the video for “Stinkfist” is all Claymation.
