Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 4)

[Pete The Cat]

Few artists managed to develop so far and so successfully as the late Mark Hollis. I love Talk Talk's synth pop but their 'post rock' is quite exceptional. In their own way him and Tim Friese-Green did a George Martin in terms of how they used the studio. No home should be without something by them!

Reminded by Piggurs:

Marianne Faithful - 'Broken English'




An absolutely indispensable record IMO, and an essential part of one's collection.

I have to confess I don't have anything by Talk Talk (even worse, when I hear the name I think of the title of the second album by The Psychedelic Furs!). So to put right this error, what Talk Talk title(s) would you recommend I try?

Listening to Radio Caroline this morning, they played a song that caught Anita's attention enough for her to "Shazam" it, find out what it was. Turned out to be called "Broken English" by Marianne Faithful. Something that has until now passed me by, I'm going to have to remedy that, there aren't too many things we both like.

Reviews of the album makes positive mention of her version of Working Class Hero, so now this goes onto my birthday wants list

Radio Caroline was 15 miles down the coast from Harwich, never listened to anything else from '66 thru to the late 70's. so much stuff in my collection because Caroline played it inc Broken English. Every home really should have a copy..

Ruts DC - Rhythm Collision Vol.2

There was always more to The Ruts than other punk bands IMHO.
