Talking Heads: True Stories DTS CD (1985)

“

Variously described as punk rock, art rock, alternative rock, and new wave, The Talking Heads (David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth) originally formed in 1974 and became one of many cutting-edge bands to emerge from New York's legendary CBGB'S, the proving ground of such diverse acts as Patti Smith, Blondie, Television, and Mink DeVille. By the late 1970s and early 1980s the band was critically lauded, extremely influential, and commercially profitable--but creative differences began to divide the members. The 1986 TRUE STORIES would be among the band's last recordings. Fans of the band frequently savage TRUE STORIES as "not a real Talking Heads recording." There's some truth to this: it was essentially a David Byrne project, with songs written for the film of the same name. But that aside, much of the complaint seems to arise from the fact that the songs were written to serve a film rather than the band's more typical style. TRUE STORIES is not a stylistically cohesive release in the same sense as, say, SPEAKING IN TONGUES; it bounces from funky to country-inflected to bluesy. Certainly many of the cuts are more pop-inflected than what Talking Heads usually did. But that isn't to say that they do them badly. TRUE STORIES contains a lot knock-outs. It opens with the fairly hard-rocker "Love For Sale," a commentary on consumerism and the television culture, as memorable and jolting as the best the band ever did. There follows a series of songs that range from Gospel hysteria to Voodoo chants to pop fun. But the real departure in style is the distinctly country-western edge that most of the selections seem to possess. It is perhaps most noticeable in "People Like Us" and "City of Dreams," both of which have a plantive quality evocative of open, empty spaces. It is also worth noting that while Talking Heads were always extremely witty and often ironic in terms of lyrics and music, the music for the film TRUE STORIES is flatly, overtly satirical--a fact that seems to escape most people who dislike this particular recording.

WARNING: This CD requires DTS compatible equipment or software for playback. Don't play this on equipment that isn't compatible because you'll only hear static and it can damage your speakers! 5.1 Music Disc - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The DTS-CD, DTS Audio CD or 5.1 Music Disc (official name) is an audio Compact Disc that contains music in surround sound format. It is a predecessor of DVD Audio. Physically, it conforms to the Red Book standard, except for the way the music is encoded on the CD. Where regular CDs store the music as linear PCM, the DTS-CD stores music using the DTS format, with the same fixed bitrate as 16-bit linear PCM, namely 1,411,200 bit/s or roughly 1,378 Kib/s. As opposed to other surround formats, such as Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio, which require a specialized player, a DTS-CD is compatible with most standard CD players with a digital (S/PDIF) output. CD (and DVD) players recognize the disk as a standard audio CD. The only requirement is a receiver that can decode DTS audio.
