It's My Life/Colour Of Spring/Spirit Of Eden - Talk Talk

Advantages: arguably the greatest album in the world
Disadvantages: none at all

...Talk Talk spent ten months crafting their 1988 masterpiece. They were allowed complete creative freedom by EMI and the record company was stunned by the end result. No hits, no "Life's What You Make It" part II, no chart material of any kind - precisely what talk Talk wanted. Nothing had been planeed in advance, the album was organically grown from lengthy jams and improvised music. Via the medium of the new digital recording desk at Wessex Studios Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene were able to move hundreds of sections of music around, some only seconds long, in order to create the finished work. Elements of Hollis's favourite album, Miles Davis' seminal Sketches Of Spain, were combined with the rhythmic pulse of German iconoclasts Can and shimmering air of delicate ambience, undercut with occasional menace hangs over...

...Talktalk is the new home phone company from the carphone warehouse, it was set up last year and their aim is to let you talk for free and undercut BT!

Advantages: Irish music, beautiful voices
Disadvantages: None

...that they are all very good looking. The sisters all look similar with beautiful dark hair and this definitely adds to their success in my opinion. The Corrs first came onto the scene in 1996. They are actually taking a career break at the moment but I believe one of the sisters (can't remember if it's Sharon or Caroline) has just released a solo album. The first album of theirs that I really got into was Talk on Corners which today is still my favourite album of theirs. They have in total released 5 different albums. Talk on Corners is their second album and was released in 1997. According to an article I read, Talk on Corners became the UK's #1 selling album in 1998 and eventually went on to sell 2.7 million, making it one of the best selling albums of all time (in the UK). It also tops charts in at least another 17 countries. I would... Read review
