The band's third album, 'Fear Of Music', appeared in August 1979.
The first single from the album was 'Life During Wartime."
The follow-up was I Zimbra. The rest of the album took the sound and spirit of the first two LPs to its logical extremes, and track for track 'Fear Of Music' was as strong as anything the band have recorded, before or since. The simplicity of titles like '
Cities', '
Drugs', '
Air' and '
Electric Guitar' bore no relation to the complexity of Byrne's lyrics, which were as thought-provoking and intelligent as anything that
Seventies rock had to offer.
Brian Eno co-produced the album.
