The leap seemed huge, bridging the gap from rythem based rock to the new era synth-pop sound of later Heads work. Both sounds work just fine for me, and I still consider Little Creatures to be among the best albums of the last 20 years. While pre-dating both of the aformentioned ablums chronologically, Byrne's solo soundtrack work on "The Catherine Wheel" sounds very much like the foundational work for Little Creatures. It's as if Byrne knew, 5 years out, where he wanted to take the Heads - he just had to bring the rest of the band up to speed. This is a fun album, lots of little fills and long, worldless background sutff - all great for a long drive. So, if you're a Heads fan that has been looking for that ellusive missing link - I think this is it. Next to "Remain in Light", Catherine Wheel represents David Bryne's most comprehensive & cohesive work. This album is made up of approximately 20 songs and most songs blend into the other. Initially a close listening is a "must" (from start to finish). This CD will become a staple in your CD player. The music is perfect background music for work & play. I have had many years of enjoyment and finding it on Amazon is a treat. Orginally the vinyl album was missing some of the songs while the cassette tape contained the full score. This CD is a remaster of the cassette version and the quality of the performance and recording are nothing less than David Bryne's best work. The Catherine Wheel is simply a masterpiece of modern electronic music. Here we find David Byrne, unfettered by the limitations of the pop song format that constrained his work with Talking Heads, stretching his wings as a modern composer. The Catherine Wheel combines the best lessons of Byrne's synth-funk and found-vocal Eno collaborations ("The Red House") with quirky and soaring sound scapes ("Light Bath," "Dinosaur"), verbal ellipses and his trademark (and under appreciated!) rhythmic-lead guitar work. There is no wasted music on this one: every track has something wonderful to offer. Because The Catherine Wheel was written as a dance score, a number of tracks lack the formal structures of pop songs. But these are not gratuitous noodlings nor mere sketches of songs that might have been. Rather, each piece has an integrity and musical interest to it. And, on a larger scale, the layers of rhythm and instrumental texture throughout draw the ear and the mind into a complete and coherent musical vision. The Catherine Wheel reveals one of America's great musical minds in full flower.
