Laughing Stock

Talk Talk · 1991

Recorded across a year at Wessex Sound Studios with producer Tim Friese-Greene, Laughing Stock is the final Talk Talk album, made by a reduced duo of Mark Hollis and Lee Harris after bassist Paul Webb's departure. Built from improvisation and ruthless editing, it closed the band's career on a record now treated as a landmark of post-rock.

Spirit of Eden

Talk Talk · 1988

The fourth Talk Talk album, recorded at Wessex Studios through 1987 and 1988 with producer Tim Friese-Greene, turned hours of improvised playing into six songs of near-silence and sudden noise. It flopped commercially and became, over decades, one of the most influential records of its kind.
