Don't know if anybody here is so into Talk Talk/Mark Hollis solo album as me, but (if the news is real) we have lost one of the purest artists ever.

i saw this on Twitter passed along by The The and then Steve Mason. very sad...one of the most under-recognized artists of the 80s. i'll fish out my copy of Spirit of Eden when i get home from work and pay my respects.

Two threads is not enough to contain how gutted I am at this news (never could allow myself to believe we'd heard the last of him). Seems appropriate to post something he devised to cycle endlessly:

my favorite. i put this on one of the CDs i recorded that were played on pirate radio at Burning Man in the early 2000s.

I have been searching for the LP of Hollis solo album for the last two years without succeeding (or finding it above 150$), I guess now I can easily delete it from my want list since it's gonna reach even higher prices.

the CD's pretty dear as well, but affordable.
