Talking Heads Remastered

Anyone out there splurg on the newly remastered Talking Heads Catalog "Brick"? Released on dualdisc with remastered stereo mixes on CD layer and extra tracks from the recording sessions and video and 5.1 mixes on the DVD layer. Every Talking Heads studio album is in the collection.

These albums were in desperate need of remastering as they came out in the late seventies and 80s. The original CD attempts sound pretty bad.

I've only been istening for a week and don't do 5.1, but the new mixes really add alot. They are tastfully done (Jerry Harrison had a lot to do with it) and sound great. I encourage any Talking heads fan to update their collection with this set.

Anyone else hear these things?

great release, haven't seen the dvd extras
but the extra cuts are wonderful

I also saw individual albums recently released with the extras

if I only picked up two it would be Remain in Light and Fear of Music

great remasters

I like the new Brick Harrison version better than the Ludwig box. Both were an improvement, but the low level eff ects seem to get better captured on the Harrison discs

haven't done a direct a/b just recall the jump up for the early box then more nuances second time around

that long box artwork - especially the naked men was horrid
the liner notes were stellar and a shame they couldn't do something similar for the brick

I would have like to seen the songs listed on the back of the brick discs. You have to pull out the small booklets to get a track reading - annoying

like the Remain in Light extras
