Fun Boy Three – Waiting (Vinyl)
Waiting, produced by David Byrne, follows a somber avenue, using assorted jazzy styles in minor keys to express cynicism in “The More I See (the Less I Believe),” tell a harrowing tale of molestation on “Well Fancy That!” and explode the mythical side of young romance on “The Tunnel of Love.”
The centerpiece of the album, however, is “Our Lips Are Sealed” — the Go-Go’s hit written by Hall and Jane Wiedlin — given a dramatically different reading here, slowed to dirge speed and laden with heavy atmosphere and a resigned feel, yet somehow played with a preternatural lightness. A remarkable track on a phenomenally powerful album.
