Warner

British synth pop / art rock band founded in 1981 in London and disbanded in 1991. They had a string of international hit singles including "It's My Life", "Such a Shame", "Life's What You Make It", "Dum Dum Girl" and "Talk Talk".
Talk Talk moved away from synth-pop to a more experimental form with the album The Colour of Spring in 1986, and their critical reputation increased. Their final two albums, Spirit of Eden (1988) and Laughing Stock (1991), are highly acclaimed and remain influential to experimental alternative rock genres.
With Simon Brenner out, Tim Friese-Greene was recruited to assist with the recording of their second album It's My Life (1984) and he soon became the band's producer and de facto fourth member. He played keyboards and became Hollis' frequent songwriting partner, co-writing all the songs on The Colour of Spring (1986), Spirit of Eden (1988) and Laughing Stock (1991). Although a major contributor to the band's studio output, Friese-Greene did not regularly play with the touring band, and was absent from the band's publicity material.

Box Sets

If you are new to Talk Talk you get to hear how they went from an early eighties synth pop band to something altogether more musically exciting. The transformation from “The Party’s Over” to “The Colour of Spring” is pretty incredible. Don’t me wrong, the early synth stuff is good and the song writing on show, but by their third album you get to hear what the band wanted to sound like as opposed to what the record company wanted them to sound like. And of course the two follow up albums, “Spirit of Eden” and “Laughing Stock” demonstrate the band pushing their musical boundaries even further, to stunning effect. They went to from synth pop to something very much more organic. The last album “The Colour of Spring” is clearly the strongest album here, and really showcases the bands more experimental side, the music is thoughtful and emotional, with a more experimental jazz feel.
