Talking Heads (also known as Brick) is a box set by rock band Talking Heads, containing the band's eight studio albums in DVD-Audio format on DualDiscs with videos and previously unreleased material. Remixed by Jerry Harrison in MLP (aka Advanced Resolution) 5.1 surround sound, Brick is the first DualDisc release of an artist's entire back catalogue. The albums included in Brick are:
- Talking Heads: 77, originally released 1977
- More Songs About Buildings and Food, originally released 1978
- Fear of Music, originally released 1979
- Remain in Light, originally released 1980
- Speaking in Tongues, originally released 1983
- Little Creatures, originally released 1985
- True Stories, originally released 1986
- Naked, originally released 1988
The first four titles were released separately on January 10, 2006, and the second four on February 14, 2006, in digipacks rather than white jewel cases. All were mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, NYC.
In an attempt to frustrate CD ripping, this release includes MediaMax CD-3 on the CD sides. This program, which has been labeled malware by many security experts, infects computers running certain versions of Microsoft Windows (abusing the "AutoRun" feature) and Mac OS, and attempts to disable the optical disc drive if the user attempts to copy the music into files on their computer.
