Rhino

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.

New Wave / Post Punk

Most critically-acclaimed and pioneering bands to come out of the UK. Talk Talk's The Party's Over was a start of a journey for Mark Hollis (vocals), Simon Brenner (keyboards), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass) who constantly evolved throughout their career from synth-pop beginnings into pioneering avant-garde post-rock in the latter stages of the band, being a large influence on artists such as Radiohead, St. Vincent and many more. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, The Party's Over is being released on white vinyl across all music retailers.
