I've never seen any footage of Talk Talk apart from the video for  the early single "Talk Talk".  It's high time I sought out that DVD.

On the other hand, I'd say it's probably my favourite album of the 80s - and Talk Talk were my favourite band from that period, along with The Blue Nile.

I saw them at Hammersmith Odeon in 1986 on The Colour of Spring tour and it's in my top 3 gigs of all time. Simply incredible. If there were two song performances I could relive, it would be "Living In Another World" from that concert and "Awaken" on the Reunion tour (by Yes of course).

I also saw them supporting Genesis in 1982 but that was a whole different story...................

- David Sylvian - Secrets Of the Beehive

I have heard bits and pieces from Eyeless and Blue Nile, but Secrets of the Beehive is one of my favourie albums and I do hear some hints of that in Talk Talk, but so far they have not hit the spot nearly as much

I have become eerily dependent on Talk Talk within the past couple of months. I think I came to them via Fripp and Eno's spacier, more spacious stuff. Really opened the whole post rock setting up for me.

Talk Talk's contributions cannot be highlighted enough. Truly a game-changer for experimental music.

Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, and to a lesser degree, The Colour of Spring. Oh yes.

Love it.

That spaciousness, that clarity, those dynamics, that minimalistic elegance and atmosphere. Obtuse and slightly cryptic on the surface, but still the smoothness and accessibility of what they did before, with even a few good hooks thrown in for good measure.

I always found it coincidental how both post-rock and post-metal were created by bands suddenly drastically changing their style. Talk Talk was new wave, then came Spirit of Eden. Neurosis was hardcore punk, then came Souls at Zero. It's a funny thing.

Anyways, I love Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock to death. Not too keen on the rest (even Colour of Spring) though.

No Doubt are legitimate artists, but when the words "vocal performance" come to mind, I can't think of any better people who absolutely can infuse their songs with emotion than Peter Hamill and Mark Hollis.

There's a band called Bark Psychosis. Two of their albums, "Hex" and "Codename: Dustsucker" feature Lee Harris from Talk Talk and have some similarities to late-period Talk Talk.

Laughing Stock is slowly becoming one of my favorite albums.
