[jason25k]

Tim is setting the Hammond on fire!

[walitung]

I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO MY BEST FRIEND "ANNE LEENDERT MOURIK" WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF 36 ON THE INCREDIBLE DATE OF:20-02 2002!!! R. I. P. ANNE WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! I'LL PICK YOU UP AT THE OTHER SIDE WHEN IT'S MY TIME...AS PROMISED!!!XXX

[astromagnus]

Try 'Zazie Von Einem Anderen Stern – Regen:Tropfen' for an almost equally evocative experience

[01tujefe]

reconforta mi espiritu...

[chupioftheloom]

jerk-off. after you eyaculate, relax, clean up rests, bong some weed on, or light on a cigar while you listen to this fantastic piece of music. in the moment you hear the 2.57 will appear in front of you the gates of heaven.

[giupezio]

grandissimo album

[dovie2blue]

I only wish the album had more cuts...can I hear this in Heaven please God?

[BSHFTW]

one of the most subtly beautiful songs ever.

[YonderVillas]

probably my favourite song ever

[codern]

theres always that one idiot who has to click the down button

[iremmeber]

@codern just because you like it means other people have to? I like Talk Talk but I'm tired of all these comments condemning dislikes... They're there for a reason and just as you can like it, someone else can dislike it

[codern]

@iremmeber no, im sorry but not when we're talkn about Talk Talk. Just cuz I (&every1 else with taste)might like Talk Talk, doesnt mean every1 else has to LIKE it, thats fine. BUT when we're talk talkin' about ppl DISLIKING a band like this, thats where it becomes an issue. No1 can respect such tasteless idiocy. It's all about evolution. U dont have2like them, but u can NOT dislike them&not expect to b condemned for it, otherwise this world wont appreciate the dif between talk talk&Rebecca Black

[iremmeber]

@codern Right but look at it from a wider perspective. You're very biased (we all are, but at different levels) and you're pretty much saying that b/c you like the song, anyone who doesn't is tasteless. But look at just about every song out there on youtube. You will generally find the top comments saying what a great song it is and have people condemn the dislikes. Basically you'll see people with different tastes all saying how their taste is good and everybody else's is bad - contradiction?

[codern]

@iremmeber can you please reword that entire comment in english? thanks.

[MrAshers1]

god this is just incredible

[populvuh02]

with spirit of eden, mark hollis penetrates the core of your soul, brings you to your knees and makes you question the course of your entire life. on par with a religious experience, and one of the most intense albums ever recorded

[spiderlockhart]

@populvuh02

Amen .

[sfb211]

Mark you must return, you must...x

[folk728]

come back... mark

[darenstanton]

U2FAN1992...I couldn't have summed it up better my friend, i feel sorry for the youth of today with all the garbage they have to listen to.

[U2FAN1992]

@darenstanton Thank you...I feel the exact same way. I get a lot of funny looks and people calling me a "twat" or "faggot" when I say I like music like this, which is probably the reason why I have no friends. But that's what they think. They are the idiots, sitting there listening to their Drum 'N' Bass and rap crap...all the while "Billy No Mates" here sits in his room, unwinding to music like this and feeling sorry for the younger generation who are too narrow minded to appreciate real music.

[U2FAN1992]

You know...I hear shit on the radio like Dizzee Rascal, Lady Gaga, N-Dubz, Girls Aloud etc...and I wonder why music has ended up so fucking shit nowadays. The fact that 3 of the artists I listed above are British makes it even more embarrassing...then you listen to this...and you remember that once upon a time, the UK had a lot of good bands and artists. Talk Talk were one of those bands. I love all of their music, but their last two albums were nothing short of amazing.

[snufkin789]

@U2FAN1992

I think you don't have to give up on nowadays music. Most great artists have just successfully bewared themselves to get torn apart in the publicity of music industries. Just look at David Sylvian or Robert Fripp, both at least once abandoned their groups when they were starting to become too popular in order not to fulfill any pop-image-requirements. Beautiful music is alive, it is only hiding from the ears of the fools that would not understand

[MrAshers1]

i love this track. Spirit of Eden is the best album ever made. Fact.

[eliasbwick]

just amazing

[riley124]

I was reintroduced to Talk Talk by a remarkable lady, Becc Parker. Stirringly stunning, this is music as it should be. Divine.

[astromagnus]

I listened to this album almost everyday whilst I was working in Zimbabwe for 2 years in the 90s. I think Mr Hollis would be very impressed that in some corner of an African field there is a village that is completely absorbed by his evocative music. I revisited my old friends there 5 years later and handed them the next sacred album and 2 years later the album Mark Hollis. We'd sit round the fire, exchanging stories, humming through each beautiful song, until the sun set on the horizon. Bliss

[roneugenius]

@astromagnus  Now that's a good post my man, glad to hear music has no boundries...Peace Profound!!

[koolami268]

Anyone else think its funny that Talk Talk videos have an inordinately high concentration of posts that essentially make an attempt to provide some musical-historical analysis of Talk Talk's growth as a band? Talk Talk really has scholars for fans.

[alexis97700]

Ce qu'on appelle un son original, voix et instruments magnifiques.

[deadcandance1978]

beautiful funereal organ! great song and great vocals!

[aviatrix911]

Most of Hollis' material isn't designed so much to communicate as to facilitate: to take the listener someplace else. His voice, used more like an instrument, is the vehicle to get there...

[nqf259]

So agree !

[copeyattamsworth]

It was an amazing transition this band went through as a whole.

Early Synth Japan/Duran esque, to a later experimental sound where everything gets stripped back so the use of the vocal, combined with one or two instruments, really combine powerfully to underline the thought/truth and sincerity/feeling behind the lyrics.

Such bands as Radiohead soon followed.

Pure Genius.

[ruffian1868]

Totally agree. Both Talk Talk and Japan ( Rain Tree Crow ) are great examples of a band progressing and finding their own voice !

[aviatrix911]

That voice just oozes soul.  Beautiful track, beautiful album!

[Qareemkhan]

Nice Video. Check out TubeViews (dotnet) If you need your video exposed, It has really helped me a bunch. Be blessed!

Nice.

[Topnikko]

Quite possibly the most beautiful music ever created.

[dovie2blue]

@Topnikko man I am so glad someone else thinks so too. this could have been a soundtrack. oh, wait, it's the soundtrack of my life.

[carlpope]

I looked forever for a copy of this album on CD... Just amazing the whole CD. The hair on the back of my head stands up whenever I hear the last two albums from this band.

[janazreh]

perfect 10 !!!!

[EdJClarke]

My favourite track on the album...the organ gets me every time. Beautiful :)

[bolderiks]

Aaaaaaaah i love this one. The healing voice and quietly speaking hammond in this setting of only three responses is unbeatable !

[neil24443]

dont worry procopius1980 i do it most of the time, especially after a couple of sherberts!!

[Procopius1980]

This is not on A Sides B Sides, nor any album. Where did you get this track?

[Procopius1980]

Oops, I didn't recognize the song title. I wish you could delete your own posts!
