Title: Talking Heads Brick
Post by: analogdemon on January 04, 2006, 07:47:58 PM
Talking Heads released a box set called "Brick" back in November.  Essentially it's all eight of their studio albums on DualDisc (a double-sided disc with a CD layer on one side and a DVD layer on the other side).  The CD sides of the discs all contain their respective album remastered as well as bonus tracks.  The DVD sides of the discs have their respective album in high resolution 5.1 surround sound and stereo mixes for DVD-Audio players and Dolby Digital Surround and Stereo mixes for standard DVD-Video players.  The surround sound mixes were done under the supervision of Jerry Harrison.  The DVD sides also contain some of the same bonus tracks as the CD side of the disc, in higher-quality sound, and also include videos on some discs.

Each album has expanded liner notes including notes on the 5.1 surround remixes, photos, and neat cards with cool art on them.

If you're a Talking Heads fan, this is a must-have.  I got this set and I can't stop listening to it.  These albums sound absolutely AMAZING in surround sound!

The albums included are:

Talking Heads: 77 [1977]
More Songs About Buildings and Food [1978]
Fear of Music [1979]
Remain in Light [1980]
Speaking in Tongues [1983]
Little Creatures [1985]
True Stories [1986]
Naked [1988]

Does anyone else have this set?  If so, what are your opinions?

I will move the post to the Talking Heads thread.  I should have searched first.  My apologies!
