Talking Heads / Stop Making Sense soundtrack 2CD+blu-ray

Remastered • 2CD+blu-ray • Dolby Atmos Mix • Hi-Res Stereo • No Video • 40th anniversary

This is a 40th anniversary 2CD+blu-ray that celebrates Talking Heads and Jonathan Demme’s concert film Stop Making Sense.

When it arrived in September 1984, Stop Making Sense was an artistic and commercial triumph. The film had people dancing in theatre aisles, and the soundtrack sold over two million copies. Just last year, the Library of Congress added Stop Making Sense to the National Film Registry in recognition of its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance. The inspiration for Stop Making Sense came when director Jonathan Demme saw Talking Heads perform during the band’s 1983 tour for Speaking in Tongues. Afterward, he approached them with the idea of making the show into a concert film. They agreed and worked together over the next few months to finalize the details. Ultimately, Demme filmed three shows at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983 to create Stop Making Sense.

This 2CD+blu-ray deluxe edition includes remastered audio across two CDs and a Dolby Atmos mix of the complete concert, mixed by Jerry Harrison and E.T. Thorngren, who also mixed the original release. There is no video on this blu-ray.
