  • Dunno if it's true but reminded me it's time to listen to Eden/Laughing Stock again.

    The Colour of Spring and The Spirit of Eden are two of my favourite albums. Very, very sad news.... RIP

    News confirmed by several sources. 

    I always found some Hollis songs brilliant and others downright miserable. 
    Be seeing you.

    Talk Talk are one of my favourite bands of all time, and I love all of their music, particularly The Colour Of Spring, Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock, which saw me through a lot of formative times. Mark Hollis's solo album is superb too. Very sad to hear this news.

    I am utterly shocked and devestated. Mark Hollis is a hero of mine- and he was the sponsor of Welwyn Garden CC and put loads of money into it.

    Here's one of the very few live TT performances. They literally stole the show at Montreux

    Utterly devastated - Talk Talk were brilliant, but his Bband offshoot left much to be desired...

    Indeed they were very good. Listening to Colour of Spring now. What a good band they were.

    :(

    I always liked the early Talk Talk singles, but didn't really get into them until I bought Laughing Stock on a whim when I saw it in a sale - I had no idea it was completely different, and for quite a while I wasn't even sure I actually liked it... but then I 'got' it and I now think it's a work of genius. I've now got all the albums.

    RIP

    The "it's my life" album is incredible
     Very sad news RIP 
    I would love to change my username, but I fully understand the T&C's (it was an old band nickname). So please feel free to call me Dave.

    The official management press statement explanation was “a short illness from which Hollis failed to recover.” The illness has still not been specified. 
    Be seeing you.
