Not necessarily his best album, but certainly one of his best sounding and best looking albums.

Sunday morning listening: Grown Backwards by David Byrne
Despite being all over the place style wise - art rock, classical, opera, tropicália, chamber pop, Americana and more - this 2004 album holds together remarkably well. It still sounds like a David Byrne album.
Describing this album is almost as difficult as trying to photograph the reflective sleeve.

Thursday afternoon listening: All The Young Droids.
Thursday afternoon listening: All The Young Droids.
Things I I didn't realise I needed in my life: A compilation of lost and obscure electropop from the late 70s and early 1980s, of which there is only one track that I know. Fantastic stuff.

Sunday afternoon listening: Voodoo Party by James Last
Easy listening bandleader takes on tropicalia, funk, psychedelia, folk and soul - often at the same time. Expect Santana, Marvin Gaye and Sly Stone covers.
Sunday morning listening: Forever Changes by Love
When I saw Shack last week they did an excellent cover of A House Is Not A Motel, which reminded me that they were briefly Arthur Lee's backing band in the early 90s.
Time to enjoy the original though. Perfect listening for a sunny day (or any day for that matter).

Friday afternoon listening - Tone Float by Organisation
Kraftwerk before they called themselves Kraftwerk. It doesn't sound anything like the Kraftwerk we know and love, in fact for the most part it doesn't really sound like music. Still, at least it gave OMD a title for their second album.
