Here Lies Love, a collaboration between David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, tells the story of Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos and her rise to prominence. Throughout the album's two discs and 22 songs, they also tell the parallel tale of Estella Cumpas, the servant who raised Marcos.
Byrne and Fatboy Slim tell their stories using club music from the '70s disco era — Imelda Marcos loved the discos — and they incorporate quotes from the first lady and her husband, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, to help with the narrative.

Wasn't Imelda Marcos a crazy bitch who was ousted by force in the 90's or something? They found she had thousands of shoes collected?

this sounds like a dubious idea. on the other hand, it is a double concept album and they're rarely bad.

anyone heard this yet? I saw it in tower the other day but passed it by. if it was just a double album in a regular case fine, but the stupid book thing means it would have to go in the box with the rest of the needlessly irregularly packed items that get ignored. fat boy slim can fuck off too.

I think it's good.

didn't go down too well in this thread though

it seems to have been met with indifference rather than hostility there. how about a little review?
