#GreatAlbums1990s – #TalkTalk - #LaughingStock (1991). TT’s final disc was the endgame of Mark Hollis’s dive into antirock experimentation on the earlier #SpiritOfEden. “Myrrhman” builds slowly as tremolo guitar, fragmented percussion, and bits of noise swell like something Miles Davis left on the cutting floor in 1969. Five more pieces vary from clattering jazz-noise (“Ascension Day”) to minimalist torpor (“Runeii”) – all part of a beautiful enigma. #Albums, #Music, #Reviews, #1990s, #PostRock

Huey Morgan on BBC Radio 6Music just played this, and suddenly I feel sad about Mark Hollis all over again. Still, what a legacy - this has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music that Talk Talk or anyone else has ever made.

@Music_From_The_80ies Listen to 'Spirit of Eden'. Its a remarkable piece of work. Our mate Phill Brown worked as recording engineer - it was a harrowing experience. #TalkTalk #PhillBrown #SpiritOfEden

#spiritOfEden ist auch ein mahnmal für die kunstfeindlichkeit großer labels. wenn man für eines der wichtigsten alben der letzten 30+ jahre aus dem vertrag fliegt, ist alles wichtige zur musikindustrie gesagt
