Yeah, having listened to both of them about ten times each now, I'm impressed that they're both so solid. Laughing Stock gets mentioned so often with reference to post-rock that I just assumed I would like it better, but Spirit of Eden strikes me as equally "progressive."

The only sucky song on Missing Pieces is the crappy 15-minute piano minimalist crap thing at the end. WITHOUT A DOUBT it is hands down my least favorite Talk Talk song of all time.

I remember being very disturbed by the fact that the lyric sheet in the CD was incomprehensible (maybe only to me) - it didn't really assist you with deciphering what Hollis was singing. I think that made it all the more powerful as a listening experience.

I guess though that if you listen to Hex and 'O'Rang's Herd of Instinct and split the difference you get something approaching Laughing Stock.
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 22 April 2006 22:45 (eighteen years ago) link
with hex i often have a problem with that so totally inoffensive voice. most of the time it drives me nuts as it totally lacks emotion. in a way that projects back on the music. there seems to be something wishy-washy about it. nice sounding but i don't feel the depth i feel in laughing stock or spirit of eden. it's a little like a body without blood.

wow! I need a new copy of that CD as it turns out.

It was mentioned on that other TT thread that not many women were posting on it. Well, if it helps, SoE got me through several hours of labour with my second son. It goes very well with gas and air.
Haven't heard LS, though -- I love love love SofE so will check it out.

Or you can save it for your next labour? j/k
Like someone else upthread, I love Laughing Stock and Spirit of Eden equally, so enjoy.

Talk Talk fans, I insist you listen to Movietone's The Blossom Filled Streets. It's like Laughing Stock yet somehow even prettier and dreamier.

"Laughing Stock" and "Mark Hollis" re-released on LP, next month.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 14 September 2011 09:06 (twelve years ago) link
I spend a fucking fortune (well £80) on my copy of 'Laughing Stock' a few years ago. Will probably pick up the reissue nonetheless. The Mark Hollis album I found second hand for something stupid like £6.
― AnotherDeadHero, Wednesday, 14 September 2011 09:26 (twelve years ago) link
I got a promo CD of the solo album, back when it was (untitled).
I can't remember a thing about it.

“There’s no way at the point when we go in (to the studio) that we know what this album will sound like,” Hollis commented in an interview recorded for a promotional cassette by journalist John Pidgeon for Verve around the album’s release. “All you ever know – and this would be true of the previous album – is you just go in knowing what the attitude is you want and that’s it. There’s no way I think you can go wrong on that because there is no right or wrong; the right and wrong is an internal thing.”
Does this cassette exist anywhere online?
