Hollis released an album on 1997,it's just tittled Mark Hollis and the music is in the same mood, it contains a new track tittled The colour of spring, interresting but not as much outstanding

Spirit of Eden - one of the top 5 prog albums of all time.

I don't feel like finding nuances between these boring albums.

Two great albums, but I love spirit far more.

I think Laughing Stock is a shade better - the arrangements are more subtle and complex. Spirit of Eden has a little more raw energy (and obvious high points), but I think Laughing Stock pretty much perfected the approach the band was going for.

Because it counts as "neither" to the original question?

There is no "neither" option.

I see what you mean and feel because when i first heard Spirit of Eden it looked quite boring to my ears and the same for the friends i helped discovered it, i remember a thread about repeated listenings on PA, it's realy necessary for these albums

Couldn't possibly decide, Talk Talk pulled out some amazing albums though. Those to and Mark Hollis' solo album are some of the best music ever released.

I'm actually currently revisiting these two albums; I've been listening to full blast all day, non-stop. I think I threw Colour Of Spring in there too just to keep it fresh - great album as well.
These two albums, the dynamic duo, man, I don't even know where to start with them. They don't sound a tad dated, and though, I wasn't even around when they were originally printed, I can tell you compared to most albums of the day, they sound so crisp and vibrant - it's great, especially Laughing Stock. As for my preference between the two, I'd say Laughing Stock takes it for sure. Spirit Of Eden had this mystique and watery atmosphere that I loved, but I admire the more extended and experimental arrangements of the latter. Atmospheric Music, it's all about that atmosphere.
