I really enjoy the Head-fi CD swap. It was fun trying to figure out what metalsonata would like based on his previous comments about music and his listed preferences. For his part he reintroduced me to an 80's favorite who transitioned into one of the early post rock bands. I had no idea that Talk Talk matured that far from new wave pop but they are fantastic. From wikipedia:
Quote:
In their later years the band's commercial appeal receded, but their critical reputation increased as they moved from synthpop to a more experimental form. Their final two albums, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, were highly acclaimed and remain influential to experimental alternative rock genres, especially post-rock.[1]
I also received Heligoland from Massive Attack which I am really enjoying listening to. Both of these albums are great headphone fodder. It's an interesting coincidence that one of the members of Talk Talk later recorded under the name Heligoland. Coincidence? Only metalsonata knows. Thanks.
