Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden

Review by Chris Nettleton

Talk Talk don’t really seem to feature in that much musical conversations these days, an almost forgotten 80s rock band, perhaps lumped in many minds along with dinosaurs like Simple Minds, Duran Duran etc.It would be good if history remembered them not just for the hit pop-epics, but also for the much lesser known experimental work which came afterwards, of which 1988s ’Spirit of Eden’ is perhaps the best example.»
