Talking Heads – Remain In Light (Ltd Colour Edition)

Limited reissue edition on 140g solid white vinyl.

Remain in Light is the fourth album by Talking Heads, released in 1980. It was recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas and Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia  and produced by longtime collaborator Brian Eno.

Following the release of Fear of Music in 1979, Talking Heads and Eno sought to dispel notions of the group as a mere vehicle for frontman and lyricist David Byrne.

Drawing on the influence of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, the group experimented with African polyrhythms, funk, and electronics, recording instrumental tracks as a series of looping grooves. The sessions incorporated a variety of side musicians, including guitarist Adrian Belew, singer Nona Hendryx, and trumpet player Jon Hassell.

Remain in Light was widely acclaimed by critics, who praised its sonic experimentation, rhythmic innovations, and cohesive merging of disparate genres. Two singles were released from the album "Once in a Lifetime" and "Houses in Motion". The record was certified Gold in the US and in Canada during the 1980s.

It has been featured in several publications' lists of the best albums of the 1980s and the best albums of all time, and it is often considered Talking Heads' magnum opus.

 The Library of Congress deemed the album "culturally, historically, or artistically significant", and selected it for preservation in their National Recording Registry in 2017.
