The colour of spring ,one of my all time favourite albums.
👌👍 100%
Just listened to it yesterday! Soooo good !
It's superb - but it was merely the appetiser before their 2 masterpieces, "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock".
@@LaughingStock_ Thanks, I believe you are probably correct. I've had Colour of Spring since new on vinyl. You have given me the push I needed to purchase both of them, cheers from New Zealand.
Still for me one the best albums ever. It will forever be the summer of 1986 when I listened to it every day before going back to my native Australia.
Troubled. Conflicted. Supremely gifted. Staggeringly good music. Miss you.
His voice was unique and wonderful. I will never forget "its my life" and "Renee".
It was such a nice person
Finally a biography on Mark. Thanks so much. Very underrated talent.
So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, I appreciate you 😁👍
I loved the first 3 albums of Talk Talk and MARK HOLLIS was a huge genius. One of the greatest of that time. Immense regret, I am now 64 and this period of the 80s was the happiest
Agree, i did'nt understand just how good i had it as a young man in the early 80's.
In those pub debates on 'the greatest band ever', I always have to bring up Talk Talk.
Certainly the best band to come out of the eighties.
Fantastic unforgettable voice! I want to check out more of his work.
I went dirt biking in central Spain for a week 9 years ago and Mark was one of the dirt bikers on the tour ...I didn't know it was him at the time .he never let on ...nice guy. ...
He was always humble. Top bloke
A massively underrated collective of brilliant musicians whose influence on music endures to this day, and will, no doubt, continue to shape musical choices for emerging musicians in the future.
Vale Mr. Hollis.
Amazing talent, greatly missed !
Talk talk live was so great in the 80s 🎉
my most favorite band from ’80s for ever … still love it …still listening to… always …
again a game again…
Talk Talk was huge in Germany, where I lived from mid '84 to late '86.
One our greatest British singers.'I believe in you' is still one of my top 5 songs of all time.
I Believe in You is THE best song ever written. It’s getting played at my funeral
I never ignored talk talk them and big country are my all time favourite of the 80s to this day they still live n my life until the day that I die 😊 thank for this vlog 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Jeff, so happy you enjoyed it my friend 🥰
Ruhe in Frieden 🕊 🕯️ und Danke für deine Musik.
Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock (essentially the same basic ensemble) are still some of my favorite albums of all time. The definition of timeless.
Thanks for the post. Hollis was a great song writer. RIP.
You are more than welcome thank you! I appreciate you 🥰
Talk Talk was such an project of genius. Their progression of albums and musical styles was always amazing. The Colour Of Spring, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock show such diversity of sounds with beautiful scapes and progressive changes.. One of my favorite bands of all time.
Thank you for doing a video on one of music's most brilliant artists.
So happy you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
He lived up the road from me in Heathfield. Never knew until after his passing. RIP 🙏
Genius his music is and always will be a big part of my life, this is the first time I have managed to find out much about him but always understood what a private person he was.
Absolutely world class singer
RIP MATE
from a scouser you made Happy with your music💙🙏🏻
Thank you. Loved that band...
So happy you enjoyed it thank you 😁👍
Thank you for great music mark you will all way be missed you legend ❤❤
RiP thank you for your voice and beautiful music
Thanks, so underrated. Time will play on his favor. Was lucky to see talk in Marseille, still a great gig.
Thank you I agree! Thanks for watching 🥰👍
Watching mark sing live was something special
The entire band was good, especially the bass and the drums
Talk Talk was one of my favourite bands growing up, but I was the minority amongst my friends.
Excellent composer and singer front man . Love Talk Talk.
It’s my life is a great song also Life is what you make it.
RIP MARK. LOVED YOUR WONDERFUL DISTINCTIVE VOICE. COLOUR OF SPRING ,ONE OF MY FAV. ALBUMS & HOW I DANCED TO SUCH A SHAME IN THE 80 "S, xxxx
The colour of spring and Laughing stock are two of my favourite albums.. timeless classics. Mark’s solo album is equally good too.
What a legacy.
Weather anybody would agree with me but it's getting late in the evening one of the best tracks this band ever made so touching
Arguably the inventors of 90s post rock. one of the first bands if not the first band that really broke away from all the various incarnations of rock ‘n’ roll and created a new genre absolutely brilliant
1980's
Absolute genius Spirit of eden and Laughing stock beautifully crafted albums,was very sad when I learned of his passing.
Music Legend , The Color Of Spring is one of my top 5 albums ever made total masterpiece,
I literally listened to his voice and now he gave me goosebumps constantly
While traveling
One of the 80s best bands. Lucky enough to see them live, would have been around 1984 at the Odeon in Birmingham
Tim Friese Green was so underrated,he elevated them to new heights
Spirit of Eden blew me away. So sad Mark is gone. Thanks for the music. Rest easy
"Laughing Stock" is such a timeless masterpiece - I am now delving into Ben Wardle`s book, portraying Mark`s biography.
Loved Talk Talk so much, actually bought Mirror Man 7" when it was released. God I'm old!
What a great and underrated band Talk Talk were. Living in Another World and Today were my favourites. Hollis was his own man and nobody elses
A very rare talent. R.I.P.
Knew about Talk Talk for yonks through 'It's My Life' and 'Life's What You Make It' but only seriously started listening to them about 2 years ago. Only wished I'd got into them sooner. Absolutely stunning and quite incredible how much they changed from the debut LP to the last one.
Mark Hollis had an amazing voice. Watch any footage of them live and it's incredible how pitch perfect he was every time.
Must confess at first I pretty much hated both 'Spirit Of Eden' and 'Laughing Stock' on first listen (other than a couple of tracks) but something made me keep coming back to them and I found that every time I listened another song would open up . I now rate 'Spirit Of Eden as one of the greatest albums ever made and 'Laughing Stock' gives immense pleasure ('New Grass' in particular is a jewel that once it draws you in, you want to stay there and almost never come out).
Are We Still Rolling? by producer Phil Browne has a chapter on working with Talk Talk. He also worked with Robert Palmer and Murray Head. The book recounts how intense the Talk Talk recording process was, if I remember correctly. It is an interesting read.
@@eightiesmusic1984 Yes, I bought the book not long after buying up Talk Talk's back catalogue. Brown worked on both 'Spirit Of Eden' and 'Laughing Stock' as well as the only solo album Hollis recorded and devotes a chapter on each.
The sessions were certainly intense and seriously tested the mindset of everyone involved. So much so that Paul Webb didn't return for 'Laughing Stock'. It's certainly not the way you'd want to go about recording an album every time but the results speak for themselves.
‘Talk Talk Talk Talk was an early version of Talk Talk’s 1980’s single Talk Talk.’
Incredibly underrated band. I loved them.❤
The Montreux gig 1986 is one of the greatest and I watch it all the time. He's voice was stunning. Does anyone know how his kids are doing ? RIP Mark. There is no God.
Same here, I watch it over and over again. Never get tired of it.
It is incredible. I had it on DVD but don't really watch music DVDs anymore and sold it on ebay. Not enough time.
I agree with every word you’ve written.
Love how they incorporated a 12 string guitar to their set. Such a fresh take on all their classics.
Blablabla
Loved this band. Still listen to It’s My Life and Such a Shame…..
So underestimated
Dacia adverts now playing "It's My Life" I hope more people explore Mark's music.
Thank you for correcting a mistake I had always made by thinking that he had gone to Fitz when in reality he had gone to Sweyne. Finally someone to be proud of from my school. Please feel free to mention others if you know them, though none will touch the beauty of music produced by Mark.
The colour of spring 5 years to make one of the best albums ever recorded r.i.p mark
Spirit of eden, have a listen then you'll understand the unique talent he had.
One of the best sounding concerts I have ever attended, up there with The Blue Nile for live sound.
The video for "It's My Life" still makes me cry.
Thank you mark for grate music you will be forever missed
Built the foundation for OK Computer. Love the guy
Call in The Night Boy my fave, but just loved every album, every lyric Mark Hollis a masterclass of a songwriter and the Band well just a great time had listening to their music❤❤
He’s a genius only matched by Thom Yorke. Simply the best two singer-songwriters there’s ever been
I guess you never heard of John Lennon and Paul McCartney
@@abelmontalvo4052 completely overrated
@@rhodaborrocks-dy3fb not really they have the hits to prove it and everything else
@@abelmontalvo4052 ‘love, love me do…you know I love you…I’ll always be true’🤭
And who can forget The Frog Song?
@@rhodaborrocks-dy3fb that's what the people like they were number one hits. Hey Jude. Yesterday. Let it be. Revolution. Imagine. Come together right now over me. Yellow submarine. I like to be an octopus garden 🏡. Ticket to Ride. 8 days a week. Help. Something. Sergeant Pepper's lonely hearts club band.. and about a thousand other hits
Natural history. An epic album from the inventive 80's.
RIP Mark 😢 you were a total legend 💚💚 xx
1st CD I bought was Talk Talk Natural History 🍓🍓
Powerful, propulsive, imaginative, haunting ... Talk Talk created majestically memorable music.
As other fans on this Facebook presentation note with great affection, Mark Hollis captivated listeners with his singing and the words of which he sang.
Talk Talk at its peak was a brilliant musical ensemble. The duo of bassist Paul Webb and drummer Lee Harris was a magnificent pairing of two imaginative performers. Tim Friese-Greene's keyboard work, along with his impeccable production, added depth and radiant dimension to Talk Talk's tunes. Guitarist Robbie McIntosh was present on some recordings.
We can mourn Mark's passing, as will befall all of us some day. But Mark Hollis's legacy endures in the wonderful songs created by Hollis, Harris, Webb, Friese-Greene and McIntosh.
Beautifully said 🥰👍
Genius.
great vid interesting information thx. rip mark hollis.
Thank you so much! Appreciate you being here 🤗
Still love Talk Talk ❤
2absolutely fantastic video have a wonderful day also happy birthday to sir Paul McCartney ❤😊
Thank you my friend 🤗 Happy Birthday Paul! 🥳🥳🥳
We live in a beautiful world of music and occasionally an artist will come along and stop you in your tracks - Certain bands and musicians did that to me - For in that moment of magic they produce songs that stay with you forever - Talk Talk had that sound and genius to produce truly great music - They did it more for the art than the commercial success - Other bands like Prefab Sprout had a similar ethos.
I loved Talk Talk since their first single. Paul Webb is possibly the most underrated bassist of the Rock era. Hollis' voice was beautiful.
I'm so glad that I became a fan long before the biography "A Perfect Silence" came out, as it showed how callous and dismissive he could be to nearly everyone he came across in his career.
I haven't read this nook but there's always two sides to a story. Mark was very disenchanted with the industry and got to the point where he didn't trust anyone in it. That woudn't be a unique experience either as many of us went through it. The constant demands from the vampires wanting a piece of you and continually being shafted is enought to turn anyone into a bitter cynic. If this book was written by people in the industry then it would be just a drawer full of knives. Mark did the right thing at the right time. I remember him as a gentle considerate fun person who naturally had exaggerated ups and downs in his creative work and he didnt' suffer fools gladly...or bend over for them. A real artist. RIP Mark.
"It's a shame..." Thanks for the music Mark!
Great video thank you 🤩
Thank you I appreciate you 😁👍

My Foolish Friend ❤
Sadly missed.
It's a strange feeling but he was just 15 years older than me when he died, and I can remember hearing Talk Talk on the radio as an 11 - 12 year old kid and the pop singers of the day seemed so much older than me but they weren't really ✌️
Sleep well my friend love Tony ❤️
Genius is right
O Jesus, i didn't know he died. RIP
R I P 🙏
Never knew he lived in Rayleigh. Old friend's daughter went to the same school.
capricorn king. haunting vocals.
Genius
A legend rip

The very definition of a cult band.
One not for everyone. Played his "Spirit of Eden" album ad nauseam.. Just not to me!! Loved the angelic harmonics. Very deep! 😔🙏
