Mark Hollis and the Colour of Silence: Talk Talk, Spirit of Eden, and the music beyond the song.

A listening session at Storeroom in Ta' Xbiex devoted to Mark Hollis and Talk Talk, tracing the band's path from synth-pop beginnings to the hushed, boundary-pushing soundscapes of Spirit of Eden. After the stories and context, the album is played in full and uninterrupted on vinyl through a high-fidelity system. Pitched at deep listeners rather than casual fans and capped at a small room, it is one for anyone who treats albums as something to sit with, not background noise.
