Talk Talk: The Party's Over 1982 + It's My Life 1984 | URBANASPIRINES

Kostas does it again and has posted a nice profile piece up to his usual standard ( how does he find the time?!) on the legendary and much missed Mark Hollis and his band Talk Talk
Lovely stuff this . . . . 





Kostas says:
Talk Talk were an English band formed in 1981, led by Mark Hollis (vocals, guitar, piano), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass). Initially a synth-pop group, Talk Talk's first two albums, The Party's Over (1982) and It's My Life (1984), reached top 40 in the UK and produced the international hit singles "Talk Talk", "Today", "It's My Life", and "Such a Shame". They achieved widespread critical success in Europe and the UK with the album The Colour of Spring (1986) and its singles "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World”.. . . . . . . . 

 

Mark Hollis died after a long struggle with cancer on February 2019 he was 64

Ha! Ha! I will always find the time for good work because I'm crazy with great music. Thank you my friend for your support. Now I'm gonna leave you, because I need vacations near the Aegean sea.
