Fear of Music (album) : ウィキペディア英語版
Fear of Music

''Fear of Music'' is the third studio album by American new wave band Talking Heads, released on 3 August 1979 on Sire Records. It was recorded at locations in New York City between April and May 1979 and was produced by the quartet and Brian Eno. The album reached number 21 on the ''Billboard'' 200 in the United States and peaked at number 33 on the UK Albums Chart. Three songs were released as singles between 1979 and 1980: "Life During Wartime", "I Zimbra", and "Cities". The record was certified Gold in the U.S. in 1985.
''Fear of Music'' received favourable reviews from critics. Praise centred on its unconventional rhythms and frontman David Byrne's lyrical performances. The record is often considered one of the best Talking Heads releases. It has featured in several publications' lists of the best albums of all time. Britain's Channel 4 named the record at number 76 in its 2005 countdown of The 100 Greatest Albums. In 2006 it was remastered and reissued with four bonus tracks.
== Origins and recording ==
Talking Heads' second album ''More Songs About Buildings and Food'', released in 1978, expanded the band's sonic palette.〔 The record included a hit single, a cover of Al Green's "Take Me to the River", which gained the quartet commercial exposure.〔Charone, p. 27〕 In March 1979, the band members played the song on nationwide U.S. music show ''American Bandstand''.〔Bowman, p. 145〕 In the days after the performance, they decided they did not want to be regarded simply as "a singles machine".〔Charone, p. 28〕 Talking Heads entered a New York City studio without a producer in the spring of 1979 and practiced demo tracks.〔Bowman, p. 146〕 Musically, the band wanted to expand on the "subtly disguised" disco rhythms present in ''More Songs About Buildings and Food'' by making them more prominent in the mixes of new songs.〔 The recording plans were shelved after the quartet was not pleased with the results during the sessions. A decision was taken to rehearse in drummer Chris Frantz's and bassist Tina Weymouth's loft, where the band members played before they signed to a record label in the mid-1970s. Eno, who produced their previous full-length release, was called to help.〔
On 22 April and 6 May 1979, a Record Plant van manned by a sound engineering crew parked outside Frantz's and Weymouth's house and ran cables through their loft window. On these two days, Talking Heads recorded the basic tracks with Eno.〔 Instead of incorporating characters in society like in ''More Songs About Buildings and Food'', Byrne decided to place them alone in dystopian situations.
Weymouth was initially sceptical of Byrne's decisions, but the frontman managed to persuade her.〔 She has explained that Byrne's sense of rhythm is "insane but fantastic" and that he was key to the band's recording drive during the home sessions.〔 As songs evolved, playing instrumental sections became easier for the band members.〔 Eno was instrumental in shaping their sound and recording confidence and worked on electronic treatments of tracks once they were all crafted.〔〔
