Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk was released thirty years ago today - a life-changing album for some people, pretentious self-indulgence for others, but very much a big deal for me - Guy Garvey celebrates the album's release with a special show:

Masterpiece imo.
Definitely an album I only recently discovered.
A complete direction change for the band at the time but as good as anything I’ve heard in ages....

The Colour of Spring album is the soundtrack of a great time of my life way back in 1992.

I'm currently listening to Spirit Of Eden. Cracking album.

Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock and the solo Mark Hollis make up a holy trinity of late night listening.
