Talk Talk – Spirit Of Eden (Half Speed Master)

Description

Often lauded a masterpiece, Spirit Of Eden marked a radical change from Talk Talk’s synth-pop beginnings – moulding into an album that would go onto pioneer post-rock. The album was produced over the course of almost a year, compiling improvised, experimental performances which culminated in a mixture of jazz, ambient, and rock into one of the most experimental albums. Released in 1988, the album has somewhat grown in cult status to frequently appear on a number of greatest albums of all time lists. The album will be cut at half-speed for the first time at Metropolis Studios, following up from the half-speed master of It’s My Life at the end of 2024.
