Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

9. Talking HeadsRemain In Light

This is another classic record that shaped a lot of what we did, I guess. You get those songs sometimes where you hear the sound of it and think something has happened here. Whether it’s the glue or whatever that’s given it this sound – and I get that with ‘Crosseyed And Painless’. Whether it’s loops or samples I don’t know but it comes across like a soundscape with everything working off everything else. That one track does so much in terms of hearing how records can be made.
