The Spirit of Talk Talk

Ode to a visionary album
In 1988, Talk Talk broke the mold with Spirit of Eden. This revolutionary album fused jazz, ambient and impressionist sounds - at first misunderstood, later hailed as visionary. Today, it is considered a milestone in music history and is often cited as a precursor to post-rock. Bands such as Radiohead and Sigur Rós have acknowledged its influence.

The album also left its mark on us. In In the Spirit of Talk Talk, musician David Poltrock brings together an impressive group of fans of the legendary work. Together they bring Spirit of Eden back to life in its entirety, complemented by other classics from Talk Talk and frontman Mark Hollis.
