Top/ The front cover of Talking Heads' second album, More Songs about Buildings and Food (Sire, 1978), was conceived and executed by David Byrne. It is a photomosaic of the band made of 529 close-up Polaroid photographs. More Songs about Buildings and Food is Talking Heads' second album, the first of a string of three produced with Brian Eno. Driven by its rhythm section, the band's blend of funky bass, bubblegum, country, reggae and punk influences, with David Byrne's nerdy, off-kilter voice, established the group as a critical success known for their rabid live shows. Bottom/ Created by the notable graphic designer Tibor Kalman to represent the electro-centric direction the band had taken, the cover of Remain In Light (Sire Records, 1980) shows digitally distorted faces of Talking Heads band members. A mind-warping classic produced by Brian Eno, the album features funky African polyrythms. Eno and Byrne released the groundbreaking My Life In The Bush of Ghosts a year later.
