New Grass is up there with the absolute bestest most besterests. Mark Hollis' best music seems to combine Feldman/Webernesque pointillistic majesty with Gerald Finzi's melodicism. It's a ruddy marvel. Drums in 3/8 over chords which alternate 7/4, 9/8, 7/8. Try playing the chords and melody whilst singing the lyrics, tough. Could only have been composed via collage.

Found this somewhere the other day, I believe it's a quote from a Mojo interview with Tim Friese-Greene. "Four minutes into the song After The Flood, a 75-second gap awaited a solo. Hollis reached for the Variophon, a German, breath-controlled synthesizer which made Talk Talk's distinctive brass-banshee/distressed-elephant sounds. "They were the most unreliable machines ever made," notes Tim. "Originally, Mark had a part for the solo which spanned the whole section and was just two notes. He played it through a very large amplifier and the Variophon was clearly malfunctioning, jumping between octaves randomly and producing all sorts of internal feedback. We listened back to it and thought, This is too much, and stripped it down to one note. That was the only possible solo that could go there. I was out in the studio tweaking the amplifier and I heard this one note roaring back through the amp and I remember thinking, This is the end. This is as far as we can go. After one note there's no notes. This will be the last album we make."

Laughing Stock is my favorite album of all time, and I was one of the very few who bought it on cassette when it came out. Almost 30 years ago. (sigh) When Mark died, I cried and cried feeling like I had lost a close friend. For a couple of months, I played the entire album every day. My favorite tracks have always been "Ascension Day/After The Flood" (I count them as one) and "Runeii", but now "Myrrhman", which for some reason had never really caught my attention, has now grabbed me by the lapels and suddenly feels like the greatest thing ever.

Talk Talk's last two records are great. However, I would say solo records by Japan's band members pushed the envelope and I think Talk Talk were influenced by the Sylvian and Karn records but in the process of recording Colour Of Spring, Spirit Of Eden, and Laughing Stock became the most important new wave band of that era by moving away from Synth pop an eclipsing post Japan output..except maybe Secrets Of The Beehive. Damn that is a great record.

I love this album and it is very well made but Colour of Spring is my favorite Talk Talk album. I never hear people talk about that album. It's so good.

If I ever had to put a peice of music to a DMT experience, it would be 'laughing stock' and 'Spirit of Eden'.

I like your description of the melancholic strings at the end of Myrrhman. They evoke similar imagery to me. And New Grass has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever created.

Mark Hollis is up there with Robert Wyatt, two poets of the musical world that delivered graceful music the less they compromised with convention. Mark is dearly missed and I'm deeply sorry he only did his self-titled album after the demise of Talk Talk.

There are vocals on this but I don't know what they're about. Mark's voice was another instrument above all. One of the very few albums I can have my own thoughts to. The violin creaks in New Grass improve my life.

I don’t know why more people don’t talk about the impact of the wall of silence between Ascension Day and After the Flood. To me, it’s one of the most visceral moments of the album. It completely validates what Mark Hollis said often in interviews, that silence is more interesting to him than notes or sound. So-called “walls of sound” can be powerful; a wall of silence is at least its equal in power and grossly underutilized.

Interesting you and that Deep Cuts guy have both done this album. At the time Spirit Of Eden was the album that blew everyone away. It was totally out there on its own. Laughing Stock came out a few years later and didn’t have as much of an impact. I love the album but Eden is the more important album.

Toby Driver said this album is a big inspiration for a song from his recent solo album, They Are the Shield. He posted a video talking about it actually, search for Talk Talk Toby Driver.

This album is one of the rare ones that sounds like it's dying in real time. Like you're seeing its soul escape from a body. Breaks my heart

You should do Television’s album ‘Marquee Moon’!!! Such an amazing rock album that demonstrates the staples of real rock and roll but it for some reason doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves!! It would be SO perfect for classics week!!

Thanks for recommending this, it sounds like nothing I've heard before but it also feels right up my alley. Ascension Day is such a great rocker even with it's very odd progression. After listening to it twice, even though I can't clearly describe any specific melody or pattern from memory the overall tone and atmosphere of the album is so distinct and memorable

Fun review of a seminal album. One little detail - the wild “guitar solo“ in the middle of After the Flood isn’t guitar at all - Hollis was interviewed saying it was saxophone!

The Wikipedia article on this album is incredibly long for an album with very few commercial accolades. An incredible part of the production of this album is that so little of it was done live. It sounds like a pure performance, but is actually the result of dozens of overdubs, constructed in post by Hollis and co. One of the greatest compliments you can pay to an audio engineer (or band) is that you thought the album was done live, not multitracked. This is the pinnacle of that compliment.

Thanks for covering this topic! I really think this period of talk talk needs more praise. Mark Hollis Watershed is really special too.
