Re: Karl contributes to Talk Talk book
well, a year later, i found out the book came out.
ok, now to get it.: ============== http://spiritoftalktalk.com/ does anyone have it, looks awesome.. of course the deluxe version is sold out. the shipping to the US is crazy. wonder if i could have it shipped to someone in the UK, and then resend it to the US. depends on how much it weighs. later -1 |

On a related note, I found the original pressing of Colour of Spring today, still in shrinkwrap but opened. Already bought the japanese repress earlier this year but this is nice to have as well.

Re: Karl contributes to Talk Talk book
got the book today.
it is beyond incredible. high quality paper, tons of pictures, great text. worth every penny. here is karls contribution. karl hyde- musician with underworld i've a vivid memory of hearing spirt of eden for the first time. it was in a rented holden, driving through the australian outback with the windows down and a hot summer wind in our faces, where we cracked open the jiffy bag from england. out dropped a cassette. the accompanying note said:"i meant something like this. have a great tour." cassette slotted into the stereo, we lay back in our seats and listened. it was a radical departure by a band i previously thought of as being 'good at pop'. the impact was kind of terminal, the last straw. we'd just finished a record. something misguided and tepid as usual, and had left england with our manager's unsettling advice: "you should make a radical album." back home, acid house was pumping from pirate radio stations all over london, illegal raves were the new ultra-punk, and here we were heading in the opposite direction, peddling clapped-out grooves. thwack! a priority airmail smack in the teeth increased the doom on an already gloomy tour. a fresh breath, a break from the constraints of tradition, nothing about the album paid lip service to the great god 'pop'. it was a film score, a soundscape, an installation, stripped-down, interleaved series of loose connections, shorthand fragments, half-heard snatches of words and melodies carried on the wind. and when you looked for a structure, there was nothing there. brilliant! ================ later -1 |
