Talk Talk – Laughing Stock (1991, UK)

Our next spotlight is on number 908 on The List, submitted by arratoon. This is Talk Talk's fifth and final album, their decidedly uncommercial, bare, free-form masterpiece, created out of hours upon hours of 50 musicians improvising in darkness.

BUT FOR NOW… #TalkTalk #ThePartysOver #vinyl
I like very record, every song from TalkTalk and #MarkHollis. Big Fan.
Talk Talk were an English band formed in 1981, led by Mark Hollis (vocals, guitar, piano), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass). Initially a synth-pop group, Talk Talk's first two albums, The Party's Over (1982) and It's My Life (1984), reached top 40 in the UK and produced the international hit singles "Talk Talk", "Today", "It's My Life", and "Such a Shame". They achieved widespread critical success in Europe and the UK with the album The Colour of Spring (1986) along with its singles "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World". 1988's Spirit of Eden moved the group towards a more experimental sound informed by jazz and improvisation, pioneering what became known as post-rock; it was critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful.

The Party is over. Mark Hollis also Died too soon, Talk Talk were more than only Such a shame. They have extremely good albums. The last of his years he were completely apart from society.

Talk Talk - "Life's what you make it"

Very few #TOTP appearances for this band, whose singles usually just missed the top 40.

Here, they make it, a booming piano piece with a chugging, driving rhythm. Mark Hollis and the lads look comfortable and at home, a superb performance of a great song.
