It sounds like one thing you're missing is the percussion, which is pretty fantastic.
Also, listen to the second half. I think Tropicália, Bossa Nova, Highlife, and Afrobeat are amazing genres of music and are really worth checking out—and they had a big influence on Talking Heads throughout their career—but if that's not your speed, you'll find that the second half has a pretty different style from the first half.
I mean what kind of cruise would they play this on?
