Remain in Light begins to slow down and become mysterious with Houses in Motion, the second single from the album. Featuring a sinuous beat, intoned vocals and distorted trumpet from Eno collaborator Jon Hassell, the song acts as a transition from the upbeat dance/pop/funk that opened the collection to the more atmospheric and weighty conclusion. Phish, a band that would seem to have little in common with either Talking Heads or Joy Division, performed a full album cover of Remain in Light as part of their Halloween show in 1996. I tried to avoid going to that fairly obvious well, but theirs was the only cover of The Overload that I could find. They do a nice job of recreating the dirgy, depressing sound, and the recording simply fades into crowd noise.

Remain in Light had more words than any previous Heads record, but they counted for less than ever in the sweep of the music. Even without a single, Remain in Light was a hit, indicating that Talking Heads were connecting with an audience ready to follow their musical evolution, and the album was so inventive and influential, it was no wonder. As it turned out, however, it marked the end of one aspect of the group's development and was their last new music for three years.
