Talk Talk were a wanky, mid 1980s pop band who fairly quickly became sonic explorers, using tremendous amounts of space and ideas in their music, and, as someone once pointed out, it could definitely be argued that what they did once they started experimenting helped to found the spacious sound of the 'post-rock' movement. This was their fourth release, their first hugely experimental one, and a great album that still has roots in song-form while reaching way beyond, with a lot of ambiance and avant-garde touches and jazz-inspired arrangements. There's one more after this one (not in print) and then leader Mark Hollis went out on his own and made a brilliant solo album a number of years ago.
