Inc., St Louis, Missouri Courtesy of Fly/Sire Records While never having actually bro ken up, rumors of strife in the band and of Byrne’s domination during the making of “Little Creatures” and “True Stories” (they were essentially a soundtrack and ouliakcs from Byrne’s 1986 film of the latter album’s name), as well as their in creasingly pop sound, had some Heads worried about the fate of their band. Reluming more to the direction they explored on the 1980s “Remain in Light” album, the first half of “Naked” is filled with African and — John Bruco/Dally Nebraskan Latin rhythms. Most of the album was recorded in the “musical crossroads” of Paris. The second side is mostly different types of music. Combined with Byrne’s lyrics, they can even become scary. Some of the scares Byrne inflicts are through his unflattering portray als of human nature. In “The Demo cratic Circus” he compares our whole political process to a cheap carnival. Highest praise to the album. The chart success the Heads have already gotten may help them stay successful with this side of their music, as well as help to follow up the success of Paul Simon’s “Gracciand” album in intro ducing African rhythms to U.S. main stream music. One complaint I have with the album is Icav ing off the song “Bill” on the vinyl version. Possibly because tapes and CDs can hold a few more minutesof music, the song will proba bly be released on the B-side of a single for fans who still want it. But the deletion practice is often part of a detestable attempt to discourage LP See REVIEW BOARD on 15 MAKE FASHION FANTASY COME ro| irr WITH A CAREER LlrL IN HAIR DESIGN.
