Recently I started listening to them again and it was worth it...choppy, quirky guitars; remarkably good songs with an eccentric edge...I reckon that all members are prone to paranoia, because of the underlying covibrating psychedelic fragments in their music :p  They also played with with Adrian Crimso Belew and were finally fed up with Brian Eno, because he wanted them to be his backing band...a strange bunch of loonies, anyway...

I like Fear of music best, followed by Remain in light...

What do you think?

I've recently got Remain In Light. Very good album. Very idiossyncratic. Born Under Punches and Once In A Lifetime are favourites of mine. Yup, they're all loonies. :D It was a shame that their relationship with Eno ended like that, but well... at least Ben O'Rian went on to make a few more bucks with U2.

I have bought a Fear Of Music LP by them Talkin' Nerds a few weeks ago. Very, very cool stuff. They're even better than I initially thought. I Zimbra, Cities, Memories Can't Wait and Heaven are indisputeable, absolute classics.

:) Indeed, it's a gem! I just can't resist listening to these damn brilliant songs over and over again :cool:
