Very nice choices..
Hey Kevtones, what's your opinion on the Mark Hollis album? I finally got a copy about two weeks ago, and so far it seems as if it might just be as good as Laughing Stock.
I'm a huge fan, although his self-titled never got quite got to me the way Laughing Stock/Spirit of Eden did. Those two albums are my
favorite of all-time and I've made a GAF thread about it before
Check out Colour of Spring too, because while it has more pop leanings, it is great record as well.
The self-titled is a perfect continuation of the sound. LS comes off as bare and vulnerable, and Mark Hollis feels like sound finding the courage to become comfortable with that vulnerability. It's all in the calculated efficiency, and Mark does more with less better then anyone. I guess the reason I don't put it in the same league with LS and SoE, is that it reminds me we'll probably never get another Hollis album
Kind of superficial, but eh, the record is still fantastic in every regard~
Glad to see another fan, there's not enough of us around anymore
