Here Lies Love

DAVID BYRNE & FATBOY SLIM Here Lies Love (2010 UK 22-track 2-CD album 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' notoriousImelda 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. Byrne's taste in collaborators is as imaginative as itisimpeccable, 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-52's 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 wouldn't have seemed out of places in Talking Heads' 'True Stories'. Presented in a sealed tri-fold digipak picture sleeve complete with a 24-page picture booklet 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!)
