Had this on my must buy list for an age! It is essential and lives up to its reputation. Good remastering and interesting extras. Worth getting and getting lost in its magic!
| | Brilliant!!! | 2023-05-28
An inspirational set of collaborative tracks from the marvellous David Byrne and Brian Eno which I used to own on vinyl.....which has mysteriously disappeared!!!! Honestly listen it really is the dawn of dance/trance rhythm set to real life recordings of random chants or of preacher like episodes. Totally awesome!

Arrived quickly, plays fine, unusual pieces of music!
| | Remix and additional cuts don't make the cut... | 2020-10-13
The original 1981 album is fantastic! I love it! In general when it comes to music, some of the time I like new mixes but more times than not I don't. A remix implies they got it wrong the first time and much of the time they didn't. Also most of the time I like hearing additional cuts or songs. But I must say, these are awful! The remixes destroy the MYSTERY of the original songs making too many things much more apparent and the additional tracks should have stayed in the vault. All

| | 5.0 out of 5 stars The best Talking Heads album that’s not a Talking Heads album | 2020-02-08
This is one of the most interesting albums I’ve heard in a while. It’s like Remain In Light had a funky experimental twin brother. I recently bought the expanded remastered vinyl version from 2006 and it sounds incredible, and the bonus tracks are amazing as well. But it doesn’t contain the forbidden track Qu’ran. I won’t get into the reason why this song is excluded from newer releases, but the song is awesome and as a completist, I had to have this cd. At least until I find an original

If you didn’t hear this album when it came out, it’s really hard to contextualise it’s impact. I was made aware of Brian Eno by some people at an HMV I worked at in London in 1990. I bought Apollo first (most people did). Then an Our Price in Tonbridge in Kent had a cassette sale on and I got a whole pile on Eno for next to nothing. I was intoxicated by the whole concept of E.G. Records. This one stood out though. Funky jerky rhythms, creepy religious murmurings, crazy radio dial turns. I knew

Nonesuch offers an expanded reissue of this 1981 near-masterpiece, a record that's both a milestone of sampled music and a peace summit in the continual West-meets-rest struggle. (Pitchfork)

Den Rezensionen kann ich nur voll zustimmen...kaufen !
| | Absoluter Klassiker | 2019-03-01
Diese Platte darf in keiner ernsthaften Sammlung zeitgenössischer Musik der 80er und 90er fehlen. Obergeil! Leider fehlt der Song "Qu'ran", der sich nur auf der Erstausgabe befindet (die mir bei irgendeiner Party "abhanden" kam). Da fühlten sich wohl irgendwelche Muslime auf die Füße getreten - und haben so die Welt um einen saustarken Song gebracht. Schade! Heißt für Sammler: Erstauflage (der LP) suchen!

| | Klassiker | 2018-10-07
Da ich es schon vor 40 Jahren auf Vinyl hörte, habe ich mir die CD zugelegt. Nach wie vor ein Klassiker dieser Ambient-Richtung, den man einfach in seiner Sammlung haben muss.

| | sub-standard elevator music | 2018-07-18
If anyone were to honestly review this album, they would say it like it is. This is sub-standard elevator music made by a couple of guys who think they are something they are not. A regretful purchase.

Damals, 1981, als dieses Album mit nur 11 statt wie hier mit 18 Songs zu haben war, konnte man schon staunen. Was da alles drin war. Progck, New Wave-Pop, viel elektrisches und elektronisches, Mick-Karn-ähnliche Bassfiguren, schlanke Texte - das Mysterium streifend -, sau-viel perkussives - quasi im Hörraum choreografiert -, das u.a. aus den vielfältigen field-recordings stammt, die Eno, Byrne und wer auch immer ein gesammelt haben; wozu auch nah-&fernöstliche wie afrikanische Gesänge und
| | Spookily, lifeless | 2018-04-05
One of the most boring, artless records I have ever heard. People criticise progressive rock for its 'noodling'. Well, this album is nothing but noodling, masquerading as a cerebral mash-up of rhythms, world music and vocal effects. Nothing here engages me whatsoever. This is regrettable because both artists have distinguished CVs, but this is not the finest hour from either gentleman. I am particularly disappointed that Eno, an innovator in many fields, should lend his talents to

| | Brilliant and Timeless | 2018-01-07
A classic.The first really successful album to mix original music with recordings taken from a variety of radio recordings. Think of an exorcism set to a great musical groove. Or a manic preacher set to a rocking rhythm. Great stuff Eno and Bryne kick started off a whole new style of music with this album. Still stands out as the best of its genre to this day.

First off, the Vinyl copy was well worth (pretty steep) the price; clean, crackle-free, no audible pops or scratches, other than track-gaps - truly one of the cleanest I've heard (and I've had to return some doozies!)Bass is tight, highs are clear and defined.Next, the memories this evokes! From my days of campus radio (Hello UCT Radio!}, the Jezebel Spirit (best paired with Crosseyed and Painless from Talking Heads, Remain in Light, released around the same time, I have the 2006 release
| | GREAT | 2017-08-26
Different. Not sure what I was expecting but this album is quite unique. Good to chill out to. Good to expand my horizons and buy something different now and then. I am pleased with my purchase and would buy again.
| | Fantastic from Beginning to End | 2017-08-13
This one should be in every Brian Eno or David Byrne fans collection. Remain in Light fans will enjoy this album.
| | Gewaltiges Werk | 2017-07-25
Hab ich damals gehört, als die Platte erschienen ist und wollte sie wieder haben. Sie war Teil einer Aktion bei Amazon. Achtung einige Nummern sind im Unterschied zur original LP aus rechtlichen Gründen nicht mehr mit drauf, dafür aber andere. Byrne und Eno arbeiten kongenial zusammen. Das Büchlein ist umfangreich, aber so abgefahren, daß ich nicht weiß, was mir der Mann sagen will. Abgefahren wie die Musik selbst.

Most brilliant forward thinking album ever, miss at your own peril, well produced with many bonus tracks 25 yrs ahead of everyone's game & no 1 has matched its funk sampling world music serendipitous cross pollinating experimentation.

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
