Ive only got mirror moves on CD. All the others are on tape and are ruined and to be honest I dont really remmember them.

Although their stuff is dated it remains attractive (I rekon).

...To the chappy with the 'Colours of Spring' avatar - Thanks for reminding me of a totally superb band.

Between '82 and '86 they released three of my all time favourite albums -
The Party's Over
It's My Life (Which I am listening to right now)
The Colours of Spring

It's funny to think that when they had their first hit, 'Today' they could have been classed by some as borderline New Romantic. But really they defied categorization and their subseqent albums became progressively esoteric .'Spirit of Eden' released in '88 was just a bit  too impenetrable for me in fact and 'Laughing Stock' ('91) followed very similar lines.

Those first three albums though - Absolute classics.  My personal favourite tracks are as follows:

Today
Talk Talk
Renee
It's My Life
Call In The Night Boy
Does Caroline Know?
Life's What You Make It
Give It Up
Chameleon Day

 Cool

Hey now OST

Glad to hear that somebody else liked them too. Don't know if you have visited it, but try http://users.cybercity.dk/~bcc11425/

I got into them when Talk Talk came out as a single. You're right about the early stuff, their management was trying to mould them into a Duran Duran mode, but Mark Hollis wasn't having any of that.

I saw them at the Nurburgring in Germany about '86 as a support band to Simple Minds. They were brilliant.

Yep, progressive, difficult to label, always a bit different. Loudest playing CDs in my car at the moment? "The Very Best of Talk Talk" plus the remixed LP which Hollis didn't approve of (but good length versions of the best tracks).

My favourites?

Talk Talk
My Foolish Friend
Life's What You Make It
Living in Another World
Its My Life
Give It Up
Bernadette

Best ever LP was The Colour of Spring

Way to go, well done that man  Cheesy

Would you like a copy of the Remixed album, OST? It would obviously be er, donated with full royalties pre-paid? Let me know, if you do then send me a PM with an addy and I'll put one in a Jiffy. Envelope I mean, not condom.
