Talk Talk were an English new wave group, active from 1981 until their breakup in 1992.
Talk Talk moved away from synthpop towards more experimental music in the mid-1980s.
A few more singles, including "Life's What You Make It" (1985/1986) and "Living in Another World" (1986), achieved success in Europe and in the UK.

Talk Talk began as a quartet consisting of Mark Hollis formerly from The Reaction (vocals/main songwriter), Lee Harris (drums), Paul Webb (bass guitar), and Simon Brenner (keyboards). In their early years they were often compared with Duran Duran.
The band also supported Duran Duran on tour in late 1981.
They were introduced to a much wider live audience in October 1982 when they supported Genesis at their reunion concert with original lead singer Peter Gabriel at Milton Keynes Bowl, England

Talk Talk abandoned the synthpop style completely with their third album, The Colour of Spring, released in 1986. It became their biggest studio album success in the UK

Talk Talk's influence upon musicians has exceeded the band's visibility among the general public. Along with the band Slint, Talk Talk are credited with inventing "post-rock" in their last two albums, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. Sigur Rós has played Talk Talk songs before their shows.

Hollis and Talk Talk continue to be praised as artists who did not cave to the pressures of corporate and commercial interests. Says Alan McGee, "I find the whole story of one man against the system in a bid to maintain creative control incredibly heartening."

The artist James Marsh designed the first cover image for It's My Life based on the band's name. He followed the theme for subsequent singles, remaining the band's artistic frontman and creating all their covers and posters throughout their career.







PS I want to thank the board to give this subject a separate place in the forum, it makes it clearer and will surely be a success.

another band of whom i have all their albums, as well as mark hollis' solo effort

there is no way that i could have picked when i heard their first eponymous single, semi new romantic as it was, that they would be making a journey that was so individual and inspiring.

spirit of eden and laughing stock are my favourites ... simply transcendent music
beautiful, fragile and yet possessing such strength and power ... i still find them impossible to find sufficient words for
