TALK TALK
UK synth-pop, new wave and post-rock…. 1982-1991
Formed in 1981 in London, Talk Talk began delivering superb synth-pop and new wave on their 1982 and 1984 LPs. They went on with extraordinary music on their 1986 album ‘The colour of Spring’ and finished with two albums of beautiful but unmarketable music in 1988 and 1991. Recall here that their 1984 music video ‘Such a shame‘ is one of the most exhilarating clip ever produced and their 1986 ‘Time it’s time‘ one of the greatest music track ever.
