Talking Heads – Brick

I'm one of the fortunate who owns one of these products precisely because I also had an Ayre C-5xe universal player and was just a giant Talking Heads fan. And had in general terms a system that would make the most of a very hi res way to dig these genius musicians and songwriters and artists. I couldn't recommend this musical product to others more highly. If you have kit that fits what this exceptional product is capable of achieving sonically and are also a fan of this brilliant musical group, you should carefully consider acquiring this through this marketplace and especially so if you can make use of surround 24/96 recordings. It's hard to convey how marvelous it is to encounter this stunning marriage of wonderful music at the edge of the technical art. Everyone who owns a version of the C-5xe but lacks this compilation should be deeply tempted to go ahead a buy the product. You're buying hours of pure pleasure, the level of sonic achievement is thrilling, and revelatory. My recollection is that many felt that DVD-Audio was superior to SACD, almost always. My personal experience has been consistent with that view.

this is begging for a reissue. needs a separate CD and DVD-A version i think, for people who just want the regular audio instead of the surround.

Need two to complete a set. Me$$age me if you have a partially trashed or incomplete set.

Rich, warm, digital surround sound on the DVD side sounds fantastic. I have the Rhino vinyl releases of their notable albums and prefer the DVD audio. I wouldn't mind seeing some Talking Heads given the audiophile treatment from MoFi or AP.

I actually got my copy as a promo at CBGB's at the release party. Jerry was there as was Hilly Kristal who told a story about how Tina had an extra long bass cable and she would walk to the sound guy mid-set and tell him how to tweak the sound. Then a band that Jerry was producing played a short set and Jerry joined them for a cover of And She Was, which I think he forgot how to play because he spent most of the song with his back to the audience. Also, Jerry talked a bit about remastering with ET and the amount of detail they went into to get it right. Awesome collection if you can get your hands on one!

Please reissue this, thank you, thank you please, please, thanks.

Does anybody know if the 2005 remastering job for the brick has ever made it to vinyl? I'm thinking Rhino needs to release the brick as a vinyl box set.

I copied the cd side and the dvd side to separate discs. Saves a lot of aggravation.

Be aware that these dual discs are slightly thicker than regular CDs and pose problems for slot-loading machines. The DVD portion plays fine in a MacBook or Superdrive but not the CD side for example.

I hate this format. I hate Dual-Disc. I want the surround sound mixes on the CD side. My DVD player is a cheap piece of junk and it's not hooked up to my rig. This is awful and it must be rectified.
