Really liked " Life's what you make it " when it first came out.
Mainly on the back of this I bought their best of "Natural History" which had mainly their more poppy hits but also a few tracks from The Colour of Spring ( including Lifes what you make it"
Must confess I kinda didnt pay much attention to the other newer tracks back then
However, its only been in the last few years that I have really discovered the last three Talk Talk albums, together with the Mark Hollis one and only solo effort.
Great stuff particularly if you want to chill .
Highly recommended

I remember when the Colour of Spring came out, it threw me for a loop because they'd ditched most of the synthesizers and gotten just a wee bit jazzy. Still didn't prepare me for Spirit of Eden, one of the biggest "musical shocks" of its time. I liked it right away, even if i still didn't really get what they were doing. A lot of their fand ditched them at that point, and everyone else just ignored it. Years later I heard about "post rock" and was glad to see that album finally getting respect it deserved.

I was intrigued by their move from commercial new wave success into prog obscurity, so I checked out a few of their albums on spotify. Definitely interesting. I plan to review one of them soon. Probably Spirit of Eden

Spirit of eden is my favorite album of all time......yeah i still love the synthy sound from the eighties but not as much as color of spring onwards......also Mark Hollis did release 1 solo album before he split the music scene completly.....worth getting as its a nice add on to the last 2 albums.......also recently a double CD cover album came out called "the spirit of talk talk" which is also worth a look too.

Great band, amazing transformation from the synth-pop band I once saw supporting Duran Duran. "Spirit of Eden" is quite possibly the best album ever made.
