La Transmision en Espanol 1986 [VINYL]

This 1986 Spanish Broadcast captured Talk Talk firing on all cylinders, during the Colour of Spring tour. Unlike other broadcasts from this tour, this recording captured their entire performance that night. What makes this release so special, is that Talk Talk sleeve designer James Mash, has designed the artwork. This is a very special limited edition on blue and orange vinyl. Talk Talk was an English band formed in 1981, initially gaining recognition for their synth-pop sound in the early 1980s. The band was fronted by Mark Hollis, whose distinctive voice and introspective lyrics became a defining feature of their music. Their early hits, such as "Talk Talk" and "It's My Life," showcased a polished, new wave style that earned them commercial success and a place in the burgeoning pop scene of the era. However, Talk Talk's true artistic legacy lies in their later work, where they transitioned from pop-oriented music to pioneering a more experimental and atmospheric sound, embracing a more ambitious and avant-garde approach. Albums like 'The Colour of Spring' (1986) marked a turning point, blending lush instrumentation with deeply emotional themes. This evolution culminated in their critically acclaimed masterpieces, 'Spirit of Eden' (1988) and 'Laughing Stock' (1991). These albums, characterised by their improvisational style, sparse arrangements, and use of silence as a musical element, are often credited with laying the groundwork for the post-rock genre.
