"A bona fide classic, a perfectly measured snapshot of a widely loved and respected band playing at the height of their powers ... No other band could do this. No other music movie soundtrack sounds this good." - Empire Magazine Among the most adventuresome bands in rock history, The Talking Heads drew from funk, minimalism, and African and Brazilian music in promulgating a new sound that was both visionary and visceral. Their 1984 live album and documentary Stop Making Sense spent two years on the Billboard 200 chart, and was ranked number 345 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the concerts filmed for Stop Making Sense, a deluxe version of the soundtrack has been released, featuring the complete concert for the first time! The tracklist includes every song performed in the film, as well as previously unreleased tracks "Cities" and "Big Business/I Zimbra." “We had done a live album before this, but coupled with the film, and with the improved mixes and sound quality, this record reached a whole new audience. As often happens, the songs got an added energy when we performed them live and were inspired by having an audience. In many ways, these versions are more exciting than the studio recordings, so maybe that’s why a lot of folks discovered us via this record.” - David Byrne
