>>66325604
why aren't you making more music you stupid fucking cock
>>66325604
what could he even be doing now
was the Talk Talk money really enough to retire on?
could never forget paul weller
>>66325679
i hope he never makes more music, keeps his discography pristine
come back, mark. release another album. or even just do one interview. i would be so happy
He stopped because he wanted to raise his kids, didn't he? They must almost be adults now, so you never know, he might make a comeback sooner or later.
>>66325737
He had a comeback and made a movie soundtrack but they ignored it and it was unreleased except for one song which was used on a tv show.
He also has loads of unreleased material.

>do one more interview
>Vox magazine’s Betty Clarke quoted Hollis around Laughing Stock as saying “If you understand it, you do, if you don't, nothing I say will make you understand it. The only thing I can do by talking about it is detract from it. I can't add anything. Can I go home now, then?"

*unsheathes katana*
Heh it's a shame
>>66325689
Extremely successful in Europe + Royalties from the No Doubt version of the song. He also doesn't care about living in expensive houses or driving fast cars.
Here's the last known photo of Hollis. He dresses like a middle class working dad and I can imagine he lives the same way.
>>66325679
DUDE MYSTERIOUS GENIUS LMAO
>>66325895
He does live the same way. He lives quietly in the countryside with his family. He's been working on some music in private but probably just for fun, the only thing that's come out since is a 2 minute track for the closing titles of a US drama series.
>>66325604
Seemed like Allan Holdsworth for a moment... Sadly, it's not him.
He least released this little oddity 4 years ago

I remember people were hoping it would be a teaser for a future album but I guess not.

Boss, a short lived drama on US cable tv. I'm not sure how Hollis got involved.
>>66326389
See >>66326343
He released a small piece of music to be on the closing titles of a show called Boss.

Thanks guys! I'll look up the song when I get to work.

this article explains it

I think that if Mark were to release something again, he would be tasteful about it and not ruin his legacy. It probably wouldn't be on the same tier as Laughing Stock, Spirit of Eden, or S/T, but it would probably be pretty great.
>>66326343
Sounds like a midi talk talk/these new puritans.
>>66326464
I think it would be pretty great but I'm sure many will disagree because of the huge gap. Have there ever been any artists that have had a massive gap and come back with something better than all their previous work?
>>66326504
Portishead's Third is arguably better than their legendary first two albums
Swans reformed after like 15 years with probably the best work of their career (however Michael Gira was still making music with Angels of Light during that time)
>>66326530
lol dummy is a classic. I don´t think third is better really.
