With It's My Life, Talk Talk proved that they could pull off an entire album of strong material. With The Colour of Spring, they took it one step further, moving to a near-concept song cycle, following the emotional ups and downs of relationships and pondering life in general. Musically, they built on the experimental direction of the previous album with interesting rhythms, sweeping orchestration, complex arrangements, and even a children's chorus to create an evocative, hypnotic groove. Though the songs were catchier on the earlier efforts and the ambient experimentation was more fully achieved later on, The Colour of Spring succeeded in marrying the two ideas into one unique sound for their most thoroughly satisfying album.
One of my favorite songs! Listen to the wonderful counter-melodies between the vocals and the bass over the behind the beat, "in the groove" drums and minimalistic organ and guitar perfectly mixed and produced. I would have loved to see this performed live![url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFBcSMPTE-o[/url]

Here is the video for Talk Talk, "Life's What You Make It". It is just a bad ass song, and the video does it justice.

I was running around doing errands tonite when this little 80s gem came on.... which led me to this song(which I haven't heard in YEARS)... then in turn I found this vid which I've never seen... Remember "Don't back date it...."
