Somehow, Clinton blends it all into his beat to produce a record that not only "takes cover in the groove" (as he would have it) but even manages to "funk the bomb" (as the Village Voice proclaimed in a recent review).

Byrne cooked up a homicidal maniac who talked to himself in French. "Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est" was the refrain of the first big- time...
