Description
A nice example of this fabulous 4th album by Talk Talk which whilst not successful in its day but has become far more appreciated in recent years.
Very good condition, nice example. See pictures.
I hadn't played it for a while, and having just play tested it I felt I had to downgrade to very good. Whilst the music is very clear and sharp, there is some background surface noise. This could improve with a professional clean. Certainly no scratches or jumps.
"Spirit of Eden is the fourth studio album by English band Talk Talk, released in 1988 on Parlophone Records. It was compiled from a lengthy recording process at London's Wessex Studios between 1987 and 1988, with songs written by singer Mark Hollis and producer Tim Friese-Greene. Often working in darkness, the band recorded many hours of improvised performances that drew on elements of jazz, ambient, classical music, blues, and dub. These long-form recordings were then heavily edited and re-arranged into an album in mostly digital format. The results were a radical departure from Talk Talk's earlier synth-pop recordings, and would later be credited with pioneering the post-rock genre."
I have a recent reissue so decided to let this go to a true fan.
