Description
DAVID BYRNE & FATBOY SLIM Here Lies Love (2010 UK Deluxe Edition 3-disc [2CD/1DVD] set - Improbably poignant decidedly surreal surprisingly thought provoking Here Lies Love is a double-disc song cycle about the rise and fall of the Philippines notorious Imelda Marcos conceived by David Byrne; composed by Byrne and Fatboy Slim [aka Norman Cook]; and performed by a dream cast drawn from the worlds of indie rock alt country R&B and pop. Byrnes taste in collaborators is as imaginative as it is impeccable including Cyndi Lauper Steve Earle Dap-Kings vocalist Sharon Jones and Natalie Merchant. Along with vocals turns from such stars as Tori Amos and the B-52s Kate Pierson Byrne works with rising indie rockers St Vincent and My Brightest Diamond; New York chanteuses Nellie McKay and Martha Wainwright; and dance-music divas Roisin Murphy and Santigold. Byrne himself appears as the voice of imperialistic America on American Troglodyte a send-up that wouldnt have seemed out of places in Talking Heads True Stories. This Deluxe Edition comes expanded with a BONUS DVD featuring 6 music videos from the album. Presented in a lush 104 page cloth-bound book in which David generously annotates each song in the CD booklet and illustrates the story with archival photos. In a detailed preface he reveals what drew him to this subject and the bumpy route he took to launch the project and ultimately record this CD!)
