Album

Music for The Knee Plays 1985 is an album by David Byrne composed for Robert Wilson's opera the CIVIL warS. The album was released on vinyl a remastered and expanded CD version was released in November 2007 under the title The Knee Plays. Tree Today Is An Important Occasion David Byrne - 4:02. In the Upper Room David Blumberg, Byrne - 3:35. The Sound of Business Byrne - 6:15. Social Studies Byrne - 4:52. The Gift of Sound Where the Sun Never Goes Down Blumberg, Byrne - 2:34. For David Byrne, this was one of the last times he would write in the hyperobjective style that marked his work with Talking Heads up through Remain in Light and some of Speaking in Tongues. The occasion, the chance to write interludes - or knee plays - for a large scale Robert Wilson opera, The Civil Wars, called on this kind of approach, Wilson being as detached as Byrne.

I assumed that for the duration of this project, Byrne had Laurie's brain implanted into his head, but after listening to Social Studies I realize that he probably just ate her groceries for a while : Responder Notifique-me 1 Helpful.
