The end result turned up in 1988, and as a listen easily demonstrated that the same sheer sweep and energy that applied to the band over a full-length album similarly worked, even more so, with the focus of a 7\" or 12\" release. Though the earliest tracks like \"Warsaw\" and \"Leaders of Men\" were a strange sort of art punk, there was already something distinct about the group, and by the time of \"Digital\" and \"Autosuggestion,\" it was perfectly apparent. The former centered around Curtis' circular declarations of repetition and angst, while \"Autosuggestion\" builds up slowly, carefully, before an invigorating final rush. After that, \"Transmission,\" a cold blue laser light of power, sneaking on an echo of synth and Hook's commanding bass before Morris, recorded brilliantly by Hannett, simply takes control. And from there, up and up, the whole band reaching a peak with Curtis' anguished scream \"And we could dance!\" As gripping as that is, by the time of its final singles, Joy Division outstripped even that -- \"Atmosphere\" and \"Dead Souls\" arguably make some of the best singles ever, the former a haunting, minimal call, the latter an ever more wired and explosive portrait of demand on a soul, from some inescapable outside force. Then, of course, \"Love Will Tear Us Apart,\" Joy Division's eternal calling card, the inadvertent final bow, the blueprint for endless cover versions, a portrait of love and connection endlessly turning in on itself to destruction, set to a beautiful melody and one of the band's warmest performances ever. ~ Ned Raggett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539718553899,"sku":"2NLFZP-0SQK-00","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/Joy-Division-SUBSTANCE_APaLc.jpg?v=1789143669"},{"product_id":"talking-heads-true-stories-vinyl","title":"Talking Heads - True Stories","description":"Talking Heads - Talking Heads - True Stories [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 603497830893 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539815973163,"sku":"PVFLQO-5VB8-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/talking-heads-true-stories_zzy4j.jpg?v=1789144288"},{"product_id":"talking-heads-more-songs-about-buildings-food-vinyl","title":"Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food","description":"Talking Heads - Talking Heads - MORE SONGS ABOUT BUILDINGS \u0026amp; FOOD [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 081227963583 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available with TALKING HEADS '77 on 1 cassette. Talking Heads: David Byrne (vocals, guitar, percussion); Jerry Harrison (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Tina Weymouth (bass, background vocals); Chris Frantz (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Brian Eno (various instruments, background vocals). Recorded at Compass Point Studio, New Providence, The Bahamas in March and April 1978. The Heads' second album found them building on the twitchy \"new wave\" sound they established with their debut while using that approach as a springboard for new lyrical and musical innovations. The band's sonic pallette is a bit wider here; the interplay between the guitars of David Byrne and Jerry Harrison is more fully developed here, are Harrison's keyboard contributions (he was, after all, strictly a keys man in the Modern Lovers, one of the Heads' primary influences). The band displays diversity with their first recorded cover tune, Al Green's \"Take Me To The River,\" which they redefine with an ominous, supple sensuality. While Byrne still sounds like his nerves are being stretched to the breaking point, the band is a little looser here, as on the jumpy, Velvet Underground-ish \"Thank You For Sending Me an Angel.\" Byrne's hyper-intellectualism is in full flower on BUILDINGS, from the gender politics lesson \"The Girls Want to Be With the Girls\" to the New York bohemian slant of \"Artists Only,\" whose key phrase is \"you can't see it till it's finished!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539996393771,"sku":"7C3UU8-NPQQ-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/Talking-Heads-MORE-SONGS-ABOUT-BUILDINGS-FOOD_yzQnw.jpg?v=1789145979"},{"product_id":"talking-heads-talking-heads-77-vinyl","title":"Talking Heads - Talking Heads: 77","description":"Talking Heads - Talking Heads - TALKING HEADS: 77 [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 081227988418 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalking Heads: David Byrne (vocals, guitar); Jerry Harrison (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Tina Weymouth (bass); Chris Frantz (drums). Recorded at Sundragon Studios, New York, New York. When they burst out of the New York underground\/CBGB's movement, the Heads stood apart from the pack because not only were they unlike anything that gone before, they were even anomalous to their contemporaries. A million miles from the detached irony of Blondie or the willful primitivism of the Ramones, the Talking Heads virtually invented geek-rock, setting the stage for everyone from the Violent Femmes to They Might Be Giants. Lyrically, David Byrne came off as the guy who thought too much about everything. Fortunately, he also happened to be a unique visionary, whose quirky, hyper-cerebral modernism echoed the work of poet John Ashbery and \"serious\" composer Robert Ashley. All this high-mindedness doesn't detract from the infectious rock \u0026amp; roll appeal of the tunes on the band's debut album, though. Their twitchy, preppies-on-amphetamines rhythms and semi-neurotic gestalt fueled tunes like twisted anthem \"Psycho Killer\" and the jubilant \"Pulled Up.\" Byrne's high, yelping tenor was the perfect complement to the band's tightly-wound but kinetic rhythms, and 77 is an auspicious debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55540007993643,"sku":"14I4DO-OGY6-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/Talking-Heads-TALKING-HEADS-77_cQJtY.jpg?v=1789146027"},{"product_id":"talking-heads-speaking-in-tongues-vinyl","title":"Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues","description":"Talking Heads - Talking Heads - SPEAKING IN TONGUES [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 081227966652 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalking Heads: David Byrne (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion); Tina Weymouth (guitar, keyboards, bass, background vocals); Jerry Harrison (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Chris Frantz (drums, keyboards, background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Alex Weir (guitar); Shankar (violin); Richard Landry (saxophone); Wally Badarou, Bernie Worrell (synthesizer); Steve Scales, David Van Tieghem (percussion); Dolette MacDonald, Nona Hendryx (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eOn REMAIN IN LIGHT, the Heads fused their twitchy, intellectual geek-rock sensibilities with an organic, spiritual funkiness that catapulted them into a new artistic realm, virtually unfettered by the shackles of their \"new wave\" past. SPEAKING IN TONGUES picks up where that album left off, expanding on the band's newfound funk aesthetic and even upping the danceability quotient a notch or two. The Heads let their hair down a bit more here than on REMAIN IN LIGHT, but while the tone is a bit less serious (as on the party-starting \"Burning Down The House,\") the highly developed conceptual sensibilites of Byrne and company are still at work, even without the assistance of former producer Brian Eno.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the previous album's airy abstractions are stripped away here, to make more room on the dance floor. Tunes like \"Girlfriend is Better\" attack both the feet and the mind, in typically quirky Talking Heads style. \"This Must Be the Place\/Naive Melody\" stands out as a pretty, affecting ballad about finding a sense of belonging (it's melodic charms were so pervasive it was eventually covered by folk-rocker Shawn Colvin).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/04\/2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55540207616299,"sku":"T75VTD-0M2K-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/Talking-Heads-SPEAKING-IN-TONGUES_nwUqa.jpg?v=1789147877"}],"url":"https:\/\/greenmangobooks.com\/collections\/gmm-genre-new-wave.oembed","provider":"Green Mango Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
