Chorus.fm Record of the Week Club [ARCHIVED] • Page 27

In terms of my Talk Talk pick, if you like their poppier stuff on the album, move backwards in the discography. If you liked April 5th, move to Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. Tbh, I think everyone should give those two a shot. Really changed the way I’ve listened to music in the past few years.


The famous Hollis quote that sticks with me re: those albums, “The silence is above everything, I'd rather hear one note than I would two, and I would rather hear silence than I would hear one note.”

The atmosphere and intimacy created by those two records (and then even more by Mark Hollis’s self titled album) is unrivaled by any other music I’ve heard. Side 2 of In a Silent Way by Miles Davis is the only thing I’ve found that is close.

 

Ahhhh fuck was hoping to drop something new on ya.

 

When I was running the movie version of the club I tagged the person who was up next week aswell.
solved a lot of the issues

 

Did you rec it somewhere here? I am pretty sure someone on here posted it. Maybe in that “Weird/unclassifiable music” thread

 

link that thread please

 

@OotyPa posted it!

edit: album, not the thread haha. See below

 

The Experimental/Unclassifiable/Weird shit thread • forum.chorus.fm

 

I listened to the first song on Talk Talk and loved it. Im saving the rest for when I stop being sick.

 

That Steve Hiett album rules. Didn’t know this thread was a thing. If we’re rec’ing Talk Talk, Miles Davis, and Steve Hiett, then I need to be a part of this conversation.

 

How do i sign up for a turn

 

i like this thread

 

I can add you guys to the list if you'd like. Need to catch up on Talk Talk before It hit Steve Hiett.

 

I don’t think the Steve Hiett record is on Apple Music (unless I’m just totally missing it?), but I can grab it from the YouTube link.

 

I don’t think it’s on any streaming platform

 

It’s not. Only on youtube and physical media

 

if someone doesn’t pick a Ween album, I will.

 

Gonna have a lot of time at my desk grading the next two weeks and I'm bound and determined to catch up on these. I love threads like this, time's just hard to come by

 

Would love to be added when you get a chance, thanks!

 

why not, thanks

 

Really liked the Hiett record, cool ambient surf vibes at times. very Frisell in those moments

 

Will check out the Steve Hiett record tonight. I'll probably end up revisiting Talk Talk soon as well.

 

I felt pretty similarly. I love the way this thing sounds, but it’s just didn’t grab me. I can see it growing on me though.

 

I prefer Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock over The Colour of Spring, but they’re all good. Very much growers that never stop growing.

 

The Steve Hiett record is very good. Perfect hot weather music. Production has a very modern feel to it. I would have never guessed it was from the 80s if you didn’t tell me

 

@flask is up, @Craig Manning on deck
