Hardly any other band of the 1980s changed their sound and style so radically in such a short time as the formation Talk Talk. Within six years (1982 - 1988) and four albums at EMI she changed from New Romantics pop on her debut album "The Party's Over" with smaller hits like "Talk Talk" or "Today" to almost archaic avant-garde rock / pop on "Spirit Of Eden". On this album the band was supported by illustrious guests like the violinist Nigel Kennedy or the double bass legend Danny Thompson.
