In 1984, Talking Heads ' concert film and live album “Stop Making Sense” captured the alt-rock quartet at the height of their powers.

Forty years later, a new 4K restoration of the film is streaming on MAX, and A24 Music has released “Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense.”

The album features contributions from 16 recording artists covering each track on “Stop Making Sense.”

The sheer variety of talent — everyone from Miley Cyrus to the National — is appropriate for a band that freely incorporated punk, funk, global pop and early hip-hop elements. This tribute to an endlessly inventive band should please old fans and inspire some new ones.

Cyrus comes in like a wrecking ball on the first track, reimaging the spare “Psycho Killer” as a full-blown dance anthem. She makes some bizarre changes to the lyrics: “I love you psycho killer / I’m-a love you forever / You know I’ll never run away,” she sings.
