Why do you think they suddenly went post rock by the mid 1980s? They were having such a streak with the whole new wave/synthpop thing earlier?
Talk Talk, led by singer Mark Hollis, formed in England in the early 1980s. From the start, Hollis cited jazz and classical artists like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Béla Bartók and Claude Debussy as major influences. But Talk Talk's first two albums, The Party's Over (1982) and It's My Life (1984), did not readily reflect such influences; critics compared the band to contemporary new wave groups, especially Duran Duran. Hollis partly attributes the shortcomings of their early music to a financial need to use synthesizers in place of acoustic instruments.
Although critics did not favour the band's early output, the first two albums were commercially successful in Europe. This gave Talk Talk the money needed to hire additional musicians to play on their next album, The Colour of Spring (1986). The band no longer had to rely on synthesizers. Instead, musicians improvised with their instruments for many hours, then Hollis and producer Tim Friese-Greene edited and arranged the performances to get the sound they wanted. A total of sixteen musicians appeared on the album. The Colour of Spring became Talk Talk's most successful album, selling over two million copies and prompting a major world tour.[2] At the same time, minimalist songs like "April 5th," "Chameleon Day," and the B-side "It's Getting Late in the Evening" pointed towards the band's next direction.[3]

Is anyone else pissed off all the time by 99% of all music?
>shallow obsession with personalities
>celebrated by ignoramuses who know nothing about music theory
maybe try The Astonishing
>>65273045
No because I'm not a try hard pseud and I can enjoy popular music for what it is and then go on and read some literature or something and enjoy that just as much.
But I guess those sorry "ignoramuses" are all beneath you and nothing about their lives or trials could at all be interesting to such an enlightened Intellectual such as yourself.

As a DJ I am in awe of him, some of the best turntable skills I've seen, especially when you look at what he's doing using just vinyl. A lot of DJs have transitioned to CDJs and controllers but he's still rocking absolutely solid sets on vinyl.
His version of Moon River is my favourite DJ performance ever - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjFi4MHO_go

"Every song we've ever written was a rip-off of a Lou Reed song," Bono once announced from the stage, while bringing Reed up to sing on a duet of "Satellite of Love," a staple during U2's Zoo TV tour.
