EXTD=''Brick'' box - Disc 07 of 08 - True Stories (DualDisc)\n2005 Rhino Records, Inc. / Sire Records, Inc.\n\nOriginally Released August 15, 1986\nCD Edition Released \nDualDisc Edition Released October 4, 2005 (as part of ''Brick'' box compilation)\n\n
EXTD=Amazon.com Editorial Review (''Brick'' box)\nTalking Heads' 30th anniversary is commemorated in typically artful style here, sonically upgrading their eight, era-defining albums via bonus-packed Dual Discs and encasing them in a molded white plastic
EXTD= box intricately embossed with the band's song titles. Each disc contains complete album tracks and bonus cuts remastered in High Resolution Stereo on its CD side, while the DVD programming on the flip offers up the audio tracks in expansive new 5.1
EXTD= Surround Sound mixes, with all of the sonic upgrading personally supervised by Heads drummer Jerry Harrison. Those long overdue audio improvements alone would make it an attractive set, but fans of the band will find its wealth of bonus music (vari
EXTD=ous B-sides and previously unreleased outtakes) and video (including a number of rare live clips seeing their first release here) supplements equally intriguing. \n\nBonus musical highlights include four rhythmically-charged, unfinished Remain in Li

EXTD=from Little Creatures demostrates that the whole of a glorius pop song can be the assembly of its simple parts. While the additional visual materials (especially the raw early performance clips) are a welcome addition to the Heads' canon, they're al
EXTD=so something of a tradeoff: a few of the band's videos are conspicuously absent, including Remain in Light's "Once in a Lifetime." But overlooking a couple of the band's better known promotional moments in favor of revealing new musical treasures an

EXTD=: Wayne Klein "Wayne Klein" (Fairfield, CA United States)\nThere are very few bands where I own their entire output. Talking Heads is one of them. Why? Like many pivotal and seminal bands they made memorable music. This collection of the band's eigh

EXTD=ents. I noticed that some folks complained about the Dualdiscs not playing on their players. My guess is that if your player is more than a couple of years old, it may not play this format or just have a difficult time finding the instructions on ho
EXTD=w to play. It's a pretty common problem in situations like this. Why four stars and not five? Because the Heads eight albums vary a bit in quality. All of them are worthwhile but some or better written or more groundbreaking than others. \n\nThe goo
EXTD=d news--the audio on the CD sound blows away the previous CDs issued in the early 90's. There's better dynamic range which benefits all the albums but two of my favorites in particular "Remain in Light" and "Fear of Music". The other CDs sound much,
EXTD= much better with the sound having greater clarity and better presence. While many of the bonus tracks having been previously released ("Sugar on My Tounge" and "Saxes and Violins" in particular) there are some from the boxed set and two CD best of 
EXTD=set that aren't on here. We do get early versions of "Road to Nowhere", "And She Was", an extended version of "Television Man","Two Note Swivel" (and unfinished outtake from "Speaking in Tongues"), "Burning Down the House" (Alternate version, three 
EXTD=outtakes from "Remain in Light", an acoustic "Psycho Killer", "Love-Building on Fire", "I Feel it in My Heart" and four alternate versions of tracks from "More". \n\nThe bad news--The CD side of "Fear of Music" won't play on a lot of computers and s
EXTD=ome CD players (evidently some home CD players as well) but that's not the case with all of these. I didn't have any problems with the rest of the releases. I have written Rhino to find out what they are going to do about the authoring problem for "
EXTD=Fear of Music" (which is why it won't play on a lot of devices). Once I hear back, I'll report if there will be a replacement disc issued. I haven't had problems with the CD side for any of the other discs and since I usually listen to the CD side i
EXTD=n the car, that could be an issue (for more folks than me I might add). \n\n***Just an update--I contacted Rhino and there are no plans to repress "Fear of Music" if there are problems with your CD player or computer. It appears the CD/DVD hybrid is
EXTD= not compatable with a lot of players. That's too bad as Rhino will probably lose a few sales due to this. Rhino plans on releasing these titles individually in the Spring of 2006.*** \n\nThe CD artwork doesn't exactly duplicate the original albums 
EXTD=or CDs themselves. The discs are issued with a new booklet but the backside of the holders are blank (as are the spines on the holders). Clearly the holder was supposed to act as an "art object" (much as the latest incarnation of the "Best of" with 
EXTD=the large book is supposed to be a coffee table art book). Still, it would have been nice to have the option of knowing what CD you were pulling out of the case. \n\nThe DVD side has all eight albums remixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound by He
EXTD=ad Jerry Harrison. There are also live video performances, videos, photo galleries and the like. Harrison does a great job in remixing the albums. The first album recorded only in 16 track in particular sounds surprisingly strong in this incarnation
EXTD=. The best albums though in terms of sound are those involving complex arrangements or polyrhythmic interplay such as "Fear of Music", "Remain in Light", "Speaking in Tongues" and "Naked". That's not to say that albums like "Little Creatures" don't 
EXTD=sound great--they do and Harrison does a great job of remixing them it's just that in terms of textures and sonics those albums lend themselves well to the format. If you're watching TV while listening there is a single static graphic that appears o
EXTD=n screen (all of them quite interesting looking and featuring the unmistakable Heads arty bend)with the song title. No lyrics appear as you're watching the video (unlike, say, the "Crowded House" Dualdisc release). It's kind of interesting to listen
EXTD= to the 5.1 mix in stereo as well because different elements come out and are accentuated creating a slightly different mix to the sound. \n\nThe videos include live performances of the band (previously unreleased on DVD) with the "Fear of Music" an
EXTD=d "Remain in Light" material played by the augmented line up featuring guitarist Adrian Belew (their best line up in my opinion)doing "Cities", "I Zimbra" \n\nEach Dualdisc comes in a CD like case with a white plastic backing. The titles of the CDs 
EXTD=aren't on the individual holders which is a bit of a pain. The booklets feature new photos, lyrics, comments from contemporaries (such as support member current King Crimson/Bear Adrian Belew and XTC's Andy Partridge). There's also miniature limited
EXTD= edition art prints that illustrate a song or lyric enclosed in the booklet. They are kind of small so be careful or you'll lose them. \n\nMy only complaint--I wish that all the"new" tracks from the two disc best of had been included as bonus tracks
EXTD= on the discs or, at the very least, be included as a limited edition Dualdisc available as part of the package for "Brick". Other than that, Rhino has done a great job here. The outside packaging featuring the titles of Talking Head songs is a hard
EXTD= plastic shell within which all the Dualdiscs fit. It's a bit bigger than a CD which makes it pretty easy to store with your other boxed sets on a shelf or with other CDs. Kudos to Rhino and the Heads on such an excellent job with the remastering/pa
EXTD=ckaging. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review (''Brick'' box)\nThe double-edge of Dual Disc..... ouch!, October 31, 2005\nReviewer: M. Svetinsky "MiroLab" (Los Angeles) \nI won't waste time commenting on the music here, cause if you are considering buying
EXTD= the Brick, you must be a fan already. Rather, I'll comment on the odd behaviours of these Dual Discs. \n\n1.) The CD side plays on only 1 of my 4 home players... a very old Sony changer, but they don't play on a newer Sony SACD player, nor on my Ma
EXTD=rantz Universal player or Toshiba DVD player. Strangely, I can play or rip the CDs in my Mac G5, and they do play in both my car players. \n\n2.) No Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. I am no fan of the sound of DD, but for people without DVD-Audio players, 
EXTD=you are out of luck on hearing the amazing 5.1 mixes. With other DualDiscs, i've been burned the other way.... only getting a DolbyDigital 5.1 mix that sounds worse than the normal CD tracks. Dual Disc labelling is seriously misleading!! \n\n3.) The
EXTD= DVD-Audio 5.1 mixes are truly amazing, in both mixing and sound quality, but oddly, the center channel is out-of-phase with the Front Left & Rights. I have never heard this with any other 5.1 DVD-A or SACD discs, so it is not a problem with my syst
EXTD=em. I find the sound to be much better with the center turned OFF, as the phase cancellation sucks the life out of the front channels. \n\nSO... the content is amazing, but Dual Discs are NOT. They are a cruel joke that i will continue to fall for w
EXTD=henever i see one that I really really want. But if you have a DVD-A player, then you must hear these discs! \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review (''Brick'' box)\nsimply spectacular!, October 7, 2005\nReviewer: F. Veldkamp (Netherlands)\nAll eight officia
EXTD=l Talking Heads studio albums are collected here in a nice embossed plastic 'brick' on state-of-the-art DualDiscs. \n\nEach DualDisc contains a remastered stereo mix on one side and a 5.1 dolby surround (DVD-A) mix of the other side. Each side comes
EXTD= with different bonus tracks, varying from outtakes to remixes, music videos and rare live video footage. \n\nOf course, like with every boxset, the collection is not complete - there are different alternate versions and outtakes on the previously r
EXTD=eleased "Sand in the Vaseline" 2CD set and "Once in a Lifetime" boxset, but "Brick" offers a lot of new -and previously unreleased- material to keep you busy for a while. \n\nThe 5.1 surround mix - done by longtime Talking Heads producer Eric 'E.T.'
EXTD= Thorngren and Heads' keyboard player Jerry Harrison - is by far the best surround mix I've ever heard. It beats 'new' surround albums like the latest Beck and Bjork easily with an amazing mix that puts you in the perfect spot with the band playing 
EXTD=just in front of you and effects (percussion!) haunting you from every corner of the room. And it all sounds natural! Try anything from "Remain in Light" or "Naked" (the bands most tense albums) in surround and you know what I mean. \n\nBut also the
EXTD= less complicated albums (Jerry added some nice linernotes on the 5.1 mixes to every album) sound spectacular in surround; it's unbelievable that everything you hear now (handclaps, basslines, percussion, background vocals, soundeffects) was on the 
EXTD=original records when they were first recorded - A lot of details were inaudible on the vinyls and previous CD releases, so even for the die-hard fans (and I consider myself one), there's a lot to explore on the new discs. \n\nEach DualDisc comes wi
EXTD=th linernotes, lyrics and a limited edition artprint (mostly reproductions of works from Frank Olinsky's book "What the Songs Look Like). \n\nHighlights for me -besides rediscovering the entire Talking Heads backcatalogue in glorious surround sound 
EXTD=and high-detailed stereo mixes- include old live video footage (a 3-piece Talking Heads with drummer Chris Frantz on Xylophone!), super-funky unreleased outtakes on "Remain in Light", early versions of classic hits like "Road to Nowhere" and "And Sh
EXTD=e Was" and a special extended version of "Burning Down the House" in surround sound that was done especially for this release. \n\nThe DualDisks are scheduled for seperate release in January 2006, but if you want them all, "Brick" is for you. \n\nHa

EXTD=punk band's entire 1977-'88 catalogue was in need of a sonic upgrade, BRICK is a heaven-sent for the group's fans. Frenetic art-funk classics like "Psycho Killer," "Life During Wartime," and "Burning Down the House" are recast in pristine audio, alo
EXTD=ng with worthwhile outtakes like the Afro-beat homage "Fela's Riff" and the ambient, down-tempo "Double Groove." Although some listeners may be content with a less-comprehensive collection, for the Talking Heads diehard this set is essential.\n\nAMG
EXTD= EXPERT REVIEW: (''True Stories'')  Featuring songs written for David Byrne's film of the same name, True Stories is even more pop-oriented than Little Creatures, full of simple, catchy melodies and guitar hooks. Unfortunately, Byrne thinks pop shou
EXTD=ld not only be simple, but simplistic; too often, his genuinely engaging songs are weighed down by his trite lyrics and condescending attitude. Fortunately, with their exceptional musical versatility, the rest of the band keeps the album from being 
EXTD=a complete failure. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nCMJ New Music Report (''True Stories'')\nThere has always been a cinematic quality to David Byrne's songs-couldn't you just picture "Life During Wartime" on the big screen? So it's perfectly natural 
EXTD=that the `80s renaissance man should try his hand at filmmaking. Advance reports on True Stories the film are very strong, reflecting Byrne's genius and wit. The songs, which are performed by the actors themselves in the film (and will have their ow
EXTD=n soundtrack) are done here by Talking Heads: True Stories the album is a joyous affair (Byrne says "Thanks, this was fun"), tossing aside more of the Heads' angst, which had been receding gradually anyway. The most exciting moment is in "Puzzlin' E
EXTD=vidence," when the driving Heads beat adds an equally forceful gospel chorus. Our other favorites are "Love For Sale," "Hey Now" and "People Like Us." Talking Heads the band stands as one of the tightest, most consistently enjoyable pop groups worki
