Never afraid of falling flat in pursuit of an amusing muse, Byrne has long prized ''interesting'' fusions over simple pop epiphanies in his post Talking Heads work. Now, just as fans are reevaluating their IRAs, he makes his Great Solo Album, Look Into the Eyeball, folding his obsessions with Afro-Cuban rhythms, Brazilian art song, American soul funk, and workaday surrealism into perhaps his sweetest melodies ever. Public service bonus: redeeming the idea of string quartet pop from Elvis Costello's ''The Juliet Letters.''
