Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense (UK)

There`s so much of interest on this disc, it`s difficult to know where to start, but perhaps the concert itself might be best, so: this is one of the best, most imaginatively conceived and produced concerts you will ever see. David Byrne is of course as wacky and weird as you would expect in his usual understated persona. There are an amazing three different soundtracks on this disc - which you prefer is a matter of opinion but the two 5.1 tracks are very spacious and both are very different to each other in their imaging - and both are fantastically detailed (note that the 2 channel track is selected by default - why do people do this?). The picture is pretty decent quality although not reference quality and is anamorphic widescreen, although the mostly dark scenes don`t display that well on a projector. Another minor niggle are that the bonus tracks are much fuzzier than the main tracks - this is a shame as one of them - "Cities" is a great track. The same can be said of some of the other material, such as the trailer and interview - but the box states these are the best quality available so you can`t really complain. Well worth £12 of anyone`s money - even at the RRP of £17.99 this is still good value.

Simply the best concert dvd there is, Talking Heads at the wacky best, picture and sound (5.1) are excellent... must have dvd if your a fan of David Byrne or Talking Heads....
