Talk Talk: The Colour Of Spring

LP Record Few other 80s bands changed their sound and style as radically in such a short time as Talk Talk. In six years (1982–1988) and across four albums with EMI, they evolved from the new romantic pop of their debut album "The Party's Over", which featured minor hits like "Talk Talk" and "Today", to the almost archaic avant-garde rock/pop of "Spirit Of Eden". On this album, the band was supported by notable guests, such as violinist Nigel Kennedy and double bass legend Danny Thompson. Review: "If people had been talking about music from another star before, Spirit Of Eden (6/41:26) marked the dawn of another galaxy in 1988." (Good Times, June/July 2012)
