The Greatest Music
The Colour of Spring
by Talk Talk
The 865th greatest album of all time
The Colour of Spring, released in 1986, finds Talk Talk moving from their earlier synth-pop toward a warmer, more organic form of art pop. Produced with Tim Friese-Greene, the album pairs Mark Hollis's intimate, restrained vocals with richer arrangements that include acoustic instruments, horns, and freer rhythmic interplay; tracks such as "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World" exemplify this shift. The record is regarded as a transitional work that foreshadows the band's later, more experimental albums Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock.
