    Is there anything out there that comes close to this type of music? I mean anything that is so damn funky and mind-blowing?? What instrument/computer is being used around 2:40??

    • eno, man. fucken eno.futurefood
    • no computer just great synth playing. my faves. seeing byrne in june again, cannot wait.fadein11
    • oh yea, and fela, where this is all derived from.futurefood
    • watch Bernie's synth work in Stop Making Sense film for a funk masterclassfadein11
    • I know lots of Fela influence but I knew that had to be some kind of synth. I own Stop Making Sense album but haven’t seen film yet.HijoDMaite
    • So he will be with Byrne this tour? Fuck I need ticketsHijoDMaite
    • i know eno actually made samples of a lot of instrumental lines on remain in light. but wasnt too sure of the synths he used during that timefuturefood
    • it may be a loop tbf, sounds more played tbh, just a great analogue patch.
      @hijo nope Bernie is dead RIP, not even sure if he was on this album.      fadein11
    • watch stop making sense asap if you love talking heads, best live film ever (i am biased) and you get to see loads of bernie worral's insane playing.fadein11

    • bernie worrel is one of those musicians, pops up on great record after great record and it's no coincidence.kingsteven
    • gerry harrisons solo stuff of this period is fantastic too. https://www.youtube.…kingsteven

    • Two more albums to go deeper... My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Byrne and Eno and David Byrne's The Catherine Wheel. Same time period as Remain in Light.hellrod
    • hah, on further reading... no shit this is probably the best explanation of that solo i've found... https://www.youtube.…kingsteven
    • and this https://www.youtube.… more or less loops of adrian belew playing through a roland guitar synthesiser.kingsteven
    • couldn't find it but apparently there's a certain live version with belew playing guitar alongside byrne and harrison that has some similar bits to it.kingsteven
    • maybe frank zappa? or hudson mohawke if you want to listen to contemporary crazy shitfeel
    • Angelique Kidjo a famous Afrikan singer will release his version of it soon, check this: https://www.youtube.…Bennn
