And for those who want hi-rez and are squeamish about putting dualdisks into their players, the individual Talking Heads albums have also been releases as double disks (1 cd, 1 dvd-a) in the UK. I just ordered some on amazon.uk and they came out to about $16 a piece including shipping. The disks up to Remian in Light came out in mid Jan and the later ones are due in mid Feb. It seems some but not all of what is sold on dual disks in the US is showing up on these double disk sets in the UK; e.g Springsteen's Devils & Dust (and perhaps Europe). This is the best way to get recently released non-classical hi-rez (usually dvd-a) that I've found.
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?
