MARK HOLLIS

A last - or lost - Talk Talk album? It is a record I strongly recommend to the fans of the late period Talk Talk. Of course, it is somewhat of a given, taking into account that it is a Mark Hollis album. But even after a seven years hiatus, it has the same qualities of Laughing Stock and Spirit of Eden, although it is quieter (is it possible?) and, to my ears, it possesses a beautiful contemplative feeling. It is very well recorded, the sound of this album is incredible, and the album has a really organic feel, since it was recorded live and using only « real » instrument. A really beautiful, highly recommended piece of music, 4.5 stars really!
