  • Talking Heads classic "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" shows off synthesizers heavily, but it was recorded and performed completely using a single keyboard: the Prophet 5. William Kurk is here to run through the grooves in our studio (using the Prophet 6) to help you feel right at home when you experiment with the #SynthSounds of...Talking Heads.

      Would be a cool segue considering they covered this song in their college days. Theres a video of Andrew playing the break line on Electric Feel where he’s like “YES I FINALLY GOT IT DOWN!” It’s so funny. Would definitely make an interesting video.

    I never really noticed the pitch bends, but you’re right about how crucial it is. It’s used so much in this song, it makes me wonder if the keyboardist had just discovered pitch bending, and was using this song to play with the concept.

I only knew Talking Heads from Once in A Lifetime and Psycho Killer, but when I heard this song and other songs from this album, it just got me straight back into it, as well as watching Stop Making Sense Documentary, just making me want to listen to them! The Prophet is a key part in their music and sound!
