David Byrne, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth formed Talking Heads in the early 1970s. Jerry Harrison, formerly of The Modern Lovers, joined in 1976 and Talking Heads quickly became one of the most important bands to emerge from the New York punk scene.

Over the course of their 11-year recording career they released ten albums to critical raves, and racked up more than a few hits.

On this, their fifth studio effort, Talking Heads went in a more funky direction with an enhanced rhythm section, melding with electronic machine-like qualities and the band's out of the ordinary subject matter.

Originally released in 1983, the brilliant 'Speaking In Tongues' album features "Burning Down the House", "This Must Be The Place", "Slippery People" and more.
