IT'S MY LIFE

Great synth pop with genuine prog credentials. This is the band's second album, and it contains a great collection of songs which are, to me, far more interesting than those on their subsequent album "The Colour of Spring". I consider that this album represents the high point in Talk Talk's output.

My only quibble with this album, apart from its slightly so-so sound quality (on both LP and CD) is that some of the songs are available in extended remixed versions which are actually much more interesting than the original tracks, because they play with not just the texture, but also the harmony.

The title song is an all-time classic. Unmissable.
