David Byrne & Brian Eno - Strange Overtones

Every so often...(maybe too often some may believe) we have to post our favourite tracks. In my case, there are many tracks on this blog that I would say I rate, most likely in the form of words such as: raw, nang, banging, legendary... And this track is all of those words.
It has a Mr David Byrne, of Talking Heads fame, a band that while most of the time fails to float my boat above water...sometimes, find the most elegant blend of unique vocals and equal musical backing. The man and the band obviously talented, but catered towards not everyone palette.
Companionship on this track comes from a man who I have more than once slandered in conversation, for apart from the track An Ending, I had felt he had never created anything worthy of his status in the music world.
Their brilliant song, it would seem, is the only thing that could possibly get me to shut my mouth.

To veterans....
