Fantastic reaction guys, you really appreciated their artistry. So brave in taking on this song for a reaction video, trust me there aren’t many of you out there. You must also react to Desire from the same album, it’s brilliant.

Extremely impressed and pleased that you guys reacted to and posted this esoteric masterwork. Cheers.

Huey from Fun Lovin Criminals does a radio show here in the UK. He's said many times that this album saved his life. He served as a marine in I think Iraq and suffered badly with PTSD when he came home. Repeated listening to this album helped him get through it.

I firmly believe that Talk Talk's "Colour of Spring" is the best album of the 80s.. Musical genius that created their own genre.. it's is "such a shame" That their work has gone unnoticed by so many.. They truly deserve a place in the rock and roll hof

Talk Talk is one of those bands that can be appreciated if, as you stated, you appreciate the soundscape. However, they evolved into this more experimental sound after killing it in the new wave/synthpop songs of their first couple of albums - though you could start to hear how they morphed from straight new wave into more of a sythpop/"let's try this to hear how it sounds" songs from 1st album (The Party's Over) to their 2nd album (It's My Life). They continued the sound evolution throughout the 3rd (Colour of Spring), 4th (Spirit of Eden) and their 5th and final (Laughing Stock) albums. I'd suggest you listen to a few songs from each of the albums, starting with the 1st, so you can get a true feel for who Talk Talk really are. Based on this reaction, I think y'all will love it.

@piershollott339 2 жыл бұрын

@@Katehowe3010 Mark Hollis had a unique understanding of music. That UNKLE album is very good, although it took me years to notice the Talk Talk sample. There's a genre called post-rock, that really didn't exist before Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. Also, there is a fantastic live recording of Talk Talk right before that period from the Montreaux Jazz Festival. They were an incredible live band, and then they recorded two albums that were basically impossible to perform live.

@Katehowe3010 2 жыл бұрын

@@piershollott339 No disrespect Piers, but you're preaching to the converted here. Talk Talk have been my favourite band since the release of 'Life's What You Make It' in '86! I saw them live on that year's tour in Manchester, and their last two albums are beyond mere music in my opinion. Got Mark's unbelievably minimal debut album in '98, along with the two O'rang, and three Rustin' Man albums! I've put my order in for the new Mark Hollis book, which isn't due until July, but the Talk Talk book from a few years back is nigh on impossible to obtain, although i've got mine natch. You sound clued in yourself, so i'm presuming your a serious admirer too! Peace & Transcendent Sounds.

If you liked that vibe (from 1988) more than your fist try with It's My Life (1984), check out The Colour of Spring (1986), which came in between. More accessible, but also pointing to that post-rock masterpiece that is The Spirit of Eden. The Rainbow opens the album, and the two songs that follow are sort of part of a continuum, so it's hard to get a definitive impression from just one listen cut from the rest of side one.

So it's Progressive then.? Because it sure sounds like it. Some kind of art tapestry in audio form.

@benoitdesmarais2948 Жыл бұрын

@@keithbrown7685 Progressive was defined by bands like King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, ELP, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull. I really like your description, an art tapestry. Same reason i never thought Pink Floyd was prog: they created soundscapes, and they were the best at it. Their songs were sometimes quite simple, folk-rockish or bluesy, it's the sounds they wrapped them in, the production that was intricate.

@keithbrown7685 Жыл бұрын

@@benoitdesmarais2948 Yes. I think PF freed themselves to move about where they wanted, while keeping to a melodic brushstroke, so to speak. I got the impresssion that Talk Talk was carrying on where bands like Pink Floyd had left off, because it seemed like the first wave of art or prog music had long since run out of inspiration and energy.

@benoitdesmarais2948 Жыл бұрын

@@keithbrown7685 In the 80's, i think Talk Talk had more in common with the art-pop/rock of Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel and David Sylvian than prog. Nowadays, bands like Radiohead and Elbow often cite Talk Talk as a major influence.
