Talking Heads: Double Groove (1980 Remain In Light - cut track) Brian Eno
Posted by: suburbanbatherson
Video duration: 155 seconds
Remain In Light is the greatest album of the last thirty years........... Here is a wordless vocal track (in the I-Zimbra afrobeat tribal chant style) with Fela Can like harmonies and grooving.
