One of my all time favorite albums. Came out between my Senior year in high school and Freshman year at college (1988). Opened my mind to so called "alternative" music :-) There was nothing like it, that I knew of anyway, at the time....really have never heard anything quite like it since. It was even more surprising to me because I had thought that previous Talk Talk music was much more new wavey dance type music. Simply an amazing album and one that everyone should give a listen to.
