Sounds from True Stories, subtitled "Music for Activities Freaks", is the soundtrack to David Byrne's 1986 film "True Stories". It was initially released on vinyl and cassette, but was given a CD and 2xLP release in 2018.
The album is not a complete soundtrack recording, featuring only a couple of the vocal songs heard in the film, with the rest being instrumental music. Byrne's band Talking Heads released the album "True Stories", which contained versions of the other songs in the film.
In 2018 the Criterion Collection Blu-ray release of the film includes a soundtrack CD that is listed as "containing the film’s complete soundtrack, compiled here for the first time."
Track listing.
"Glass Operator" is an orchestral rendition of "Dream Operator" featuring a glass harmonica; "City of Steel" is a steel guitar version of "City of Dreams", which, along with "Dream Operator", appears on Talking Heads' "True Stories".
