Talking Heads, "The Great Curve"

Live in Rome, 1980. One of the great touring units in rock history. You could power a small city with the energy coming off that stage. Two bass players? Two drummers? Adrian Belew extracting unearthly songs from his guitar? Dolette MacDonald, one of the great backup singers in the business? It's like the Jaco/Erskine Weather Report, all muscle and momentum.

Sting: Bring On The Night (1985)

Sting is really something. O.K., I'm harsh on him, I agree. After all, …Nothing Like The Sun proved there is a way for him to be himself and be listenable at the same time. The review at Allmusic did hit a point – he's even more pretentious here, but the group that surrounds him makes up for that. Additionally, he's also more relaxed on the record, showing us why he became the superstar we know. One of his most famous singles from the record presents that fact, since he deals with quite a serious subject matter for a pop song in the 80's, though the piece has one of the most buoyant choruses Sting did. Yes, the LP shows another paradox of Sting, i.e. he wishes to be taken seriously, yet he's an incredible pop craftsman at his heart.

TALKING HEADS - TAKE ME TO RIVER (1978)

46 years ago today,

One particular and climactic highlight of 'Stop making Sense' came when the band took Al Green’s TAKE ME TO THE RIVER farther and deeper than ever imaginable – first an enormous boom-boom from Chris Frantz, then the doubled bass (Busta Jones and Tina) making the earth move, next the Baptist choir chanting of the title by Nona Hendryx and Dolette McDonald (the crowd was roaring), and finally "I don't know why I love you like I do."TALKING HEADS - TAKE ME TO RIVER (1978)

Talking Heads - The Great Curve [live in Dortmund 20/12/1980]

[adrian--belew]

When the players want to strike on their own outside their collectives, they do have a wish to be understood much more than they were within the confines of their original bands. Sting, to give you an example, felt a need to prove himself. Therefore, The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, his debut, reflects the troubled production that occured thanks to such a mindset at the time. The LP seems to present a struggle of someone avoiding what he did before without disregarding the latter completely. He appears to be tense, since he demands to be taken as a real deal despite him achieving that with The Police. I mean, listen to his singles from the album, even they sound like him chasing the persona of a serious musician, worthy of a serious consideration.

A-T-2 347 Imitation/Sandii And The Sunsetz

Imitation - Oriental Oriental

Imitation were a Japanese leftfield new wave group that shared much of Sandii And The Sunsetz line up for their underrated 1982 album Immigrants, which Epic Records unsuccessfully tried to break into the UK market

Where The Fire Still Burns is written by David Sylvian (A-T-2 127) and features his vocal

Sandii And The Sunsetz - Where The Fire Still Burns

American session singer Dolette McDonald (A-T-2 303) also contributes backing vocals, Haruomi Hosono of YMO plays bass (A-T-2 254, A-T-2 106, A-T-2 058), and Talking Heads/The Winners percussionist Steve Scales provides, well... percussion

Sandii, Makoto Kubota, Dolette McDonald, Steve Scales are all also in Imitation, along with Shigeru Inoue, Masanobu Hoshino, Osamu Sakasai, and band leader (?) Yu Imai who had been in Sadistic Mika Band spinoff The Sadistics

For fans of Talking Heads, King Crimson's Discipline album, Was (Not Was), Kate Bush... oddball pop in general

Imitation - Muscle & Heat

Sandii And The Sunsetz - Jinjirogeh - The Chunk O' Funk
