Talk Talk

One of the most beautiful and unexpected transformations in the history of rock. After two albums of decent but somewhat impersonal synth pop and a great transitional album, Mark Hollis decides to create an ethereal, celestial but above all spiritual sound (as can be seen in his lyrics) that is very evocative. Spirit of Eden is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard in my life, and Laughing Stock is right there, very close to its predecessor.
