    The 80's, were a fun expiramental time for the arts some worked, and some just became cult classics.

    thanks so much for not cutting at the dinner table and letting the song finish with the grooving business man

    My favourite scene in the film. Anyone interested in a follow-up I highly recommend The Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne, especially the audiobook read by Byrne himself. It has the same dry, dead-pan humour as found in True Stories but on a wider scale.

    David Byrne is credited for writing all the incidental music in the film. Looking at imdb it is almost assuredly "Dinner Music" Written and Produced by David Byrne, Performed by Kronos Quartet.
    This means you are unlikely to find it anywhere aside from that one scene in the film.

    Re: the music, I notice that it sounds quite a bit like the track 'Glass, Concrete and Stone' from Byrne's 2004 album Grown Backwards. Similar melody.

      It is undoubtedly a spoof on Koyaanisqatsi, from the music to the photography.

      If you'd like more Byrne music similar to this, try The Forest and Music for the Knee Plays. There was, however, a certain sax quartet I used to hear on PBS radio in the 80's that I haven't heard since then. I don't believe it was Kronos Quartet, I haven't found any Philip Glass exactly like it and it wasn't Jon Hassell. It's very frustrating because I liked it quite a bit. I was too young to remember the name, though. It sounded very much like the music played as David is driving just as Earl is starting the opening monologue for the Celebration of Specialness in the movie. That, I think, was Kronos Quartet and it was a one-off.
