yeh it's pretty amazing, come back to it every few months or
so... spirit of eden is also great but there seems to be
this terrible tradition of muso journalists wanking
themselves silly over the Holy Rock Masterpiece (much like
loveless i suppose), laughing stock is much darker and
better and stuff

Spirit

spirit of eden is ace as well, but i think their sound
culminated with laughing stock.

talk talk's two last albums have been lumped in the 'post
rock' genre when, in fact, nothing in music sounds like them
to this day.

mark hollis' solo album (lead singer from talk talk) from
1999 is also a recommendation. it's beyond music, and
threads into new ground. fucking a.

Haha, a mate just bought this as well.. must be the
zeitgeist of fashion bringing them back from the place they
should never have been brought back from. Soon, Kurt Nilsen
and Espen Lind will make a cover of one of their
songs and then we will all die a slow sonic death.

fighting windmills, are we?

fashion? oh come the fuck on.

you seem to be reading more music magazines than actually
LISTENING to music.

calm the fuck down. you have an elitist point of view on
music (as evident in 'the field' thread).

after the flood is a fucking incredible track.

sincere thanks to Dan for pointing it out to me

Well, fashion is fashion. It has never degraded anything,
and a fashion is indeed constituted by the emergence of a
trend.

I haven't read a music magazine since.. well, since before
The Source went all crap.

The Field thread? What was that? The one with the argument
over quality in music? Try reading the entire thread again.

i don't want to start a the field thread part 2.

instead of referencing to friends or whatever, what about
stating your own opinion on this album?

Haha, you almost took me too seriously there (but read the
field thread again; you got it all wrong).

About the album, I thought it was nice, or rather, soothing,
at first, but then it all just dissolved into a sort of
repetitive mush, so I didn't like it.

your personal opinion, and not some espen lind digression,
is appreciated. thank you.

I like the roots that start appearing in "Colour of
Spring".. well obviously the roots were in the band from the
begining, but Colour of Spring is a fascinating (and just
plain great) album that bridges thier (again, great) pop
past and sees them heading towards even vaster places.

I don't mind too much the muso journos banging on about
Spirit of Eden or Laughing Stock, I think as many people
should have them both (hell, and Colour of Spring) in their
collection.

I still far prefer "Isn't Anything" to "Loveless" (which I
do find rather loveless, tee hee), though.

Yes, an excellent CD. Easily in my all-time fave list. A
shame it was their swan song.

The Mark Hollis solo CD was also very good.
