TALK TALK (ABO #186)


TALK TALK
LIVING IN ANOTHER WORLD

This compilation is all about understanding the tremendous evolution that saw Talk Talk evolve from a good little new wave/romantic pop act to something I can only relate to geniuses such as Robert Wyatt or Scott Walker. How the hell did that happen?
Therefore, a lot of the singles that made Talk Talk a succesful band are missing here and I chose to focus on the more arty side of things.
From the winning hit Such a Shame is to progressive rock that will influence what was to be known as Post Rock, you'll have a taste of a band unlike others. One I dearly miss and see no hope of ever returning.
