[ choked silence ]
Recovered.
One of my favourite albums, from one of my favourite artists. Seven years after Talk Talk's magnificent swansong, Laughing Stock, Hollis continued into ever starker, fragmented, melacholic mode and created an album of stripped-down beautiful sadness that gets me every listen.
Being one of the most unique vocalists ever to grace my ears helps, but the guys ability to work with silence is astounding. The bits with sound are pretty good too.
Be kind, and play 'Colour Of Spring' at my funeral. Hopefully on some futursic space-laser-powered sound system, as it'll be 3012.
