Mark Hollis (1955 - 2019)

Really, really hope this isn't true

Damn. Hopefully it's just a rumor.
youtube.com/watch?v=LWSPopbVavw

he was pretty off the grid, I feel like there would be a small amount who knows before big news actually breaks out. sad but I think it is real.

I really hope this isn't true but if it is then RIP, he was an absolute genius. Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock and his solo album are all masterpieces.

Do you guys think he hasn't released anything in 20 years because he's been sick?
Probably won't be official confirmation until news outlets care enough to seek an official statement from family as he had zero social media channels but more and more musical contemporaries have started posting their tributes

RIP Mark

Nah he pulled a Kate Bush and went for the proper family life

Jeremy Larson, P4K editor has put up tribute tweets, he's probably trying to source the news right now

Mods pls sticky. A tremendously important and accomplished artist.

Spirit of Eden, if only because it was first

Come on, don't be retarded. Knowing a band doesn't mean you know the names of its members. Even if I've loved Talk Talk in the past, I probably wouldn't remember Mark's name if it wasn't for the fact he released a solo album under that name that I also enjoy.

Mad, I was just wondering the other day if they'd be one of the increasingly rare bands to not reform.
He's the top trend on Twitter UK right now even if Yea Forums doesn't give a shit.

ITS ON WIKIPEDIA

Talk Talk gets posted about fairly regularly considering their age and the fact that they're the opposite of meme music. Everyone who knows their shit is aware of them.

Idk who this nigger is so he must not be that important

Pleb here, listening to their top songs right now and it sounds like if Tears For Fears and Depeche Mode had a baby (both bands I like, no bully about who predates who pls). Shame about the loss, did I never hear this because I'm American or something?

FUCK :(

Why am I not shocked that P4K is still not reporting this? I guess it'd take away from their Oscars coverage.

Weird that a lot of xoomers know Talk Talk as a one hit wonder synthpop band and have never even heard the post-rock albums that made them a favorite of younger hipsters.
I can't think of any other bands like that.

Just when you thought I Believe In You couldn't be anymore emotionally devastating

>did I never hear this because I'm American or something
You've most likely heard It's My Life by them - if anything. No Doubt covered it.

That's their early synth pop stuff. Which is all well and good, but check out their post rock material to get the full picture.

i think that most places aren't until there is some kind of official confirmation

F, have been using this mousepad for 7 years now

Radiohead, sort of. Most people cut off at OK Computer if not Creep.

They were a B-tier synthpop band in the UK, but the stuff we all know and love is their post rock, which they released after they'd kind of fallen out of the limelight. Listen to Spirit of Eden front to back, or Colour of Spring if you want something a bit more upbeat.

Don't listen to the most popular songs because thats them in their synth pop phase
My rec is to listen to spirit of eden

OH YEAH
THE WORLD'S TURNED UPSIDE DOWN

Most people only know Creep

you can feel it listening, shit guys :(
color of spring is one of my favorite albums of all time, check it out

Nah their later stuff is getting a fair bit of acknowledgement.

Spirit of Eden blows Laughing Stock's doors off. In fact, Mark's solo album does too. You can tell who actually likes Talk Talk if they think SoE and CoS are better than Laughing Stock. The people who prefer Laughing Stock are mainly genre voyeurs and p4kers.

The chorus in Desire has to be one of the most powerful moments in music

okay but New Grass is one of the best songs ever made by humans

New Grass is the greatest post-rock track of all time to me. Glad to see it getting so much love on here. People are usually raving about After The Flood instead.

stupid post. soe got a 10 from them too

New Grass is great. The overall album is very one-dimensional in atmosphere in mood though, and suffers because of it. There isn't anything like the burst of anger in Desire or the sweetness of I Believe in You. Laughing Stock is not a bad album by any stretch. It's just overshadowed by one of the best albums of all-time that came before it.

Severe autism detected. They're all good, shut the fuck up.

This is upsetting. I had accepted the fact that we were never going to get any more music from him, but 64 is no age. I hope he had a good life just being a normal dude raising his family and stuff.

SoE and Laughing Stock are both the joint best album of all time, I always listen to them back to back. Gonna do so and cry now. The Colour of Spring ain't far off them either, genres aside.

Do yourself a favour and listen to London 1986 if you haven't. The renditions of pre-TCoS material have so much more life in them.

All of Talk Talk is great, anyone telling you their early stuff is bad because they only know their last two albums is a moron. The Party's Over is a pretty standard but still enjoyable synthpop album.
youtube.com/watch?v=TyZLcHtvISg
It's My Life and Colour Of Spring are far more refined and creative efforts within synthpop. Don't believe anyone who tells you that you should sleep on those albums.
youtube.com/watch?v=XQAOdpj7lm4
youtube.com/watch?v=8_KK3-0HbBQ
Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock are the Yea Forumscore albums. Most prefer Laughing Stock but both albums were landmarks in post-rock going forward.
youtube.com/watch?v=Y0i_ZhYkqjg
youtube.com/watch?v=LuYNidNgQic

I wouldn't go that far- SoE works better as an album, but LS has some incredible moments. Ascension Day, New Grass. Despite dragging a bit in some places it still feels like a near-masterpiece. I'd personally place it above CoS, which I've never been crazy about.

Ariana utterly obliterating George and Mark combined. I mean I get it but I'm still not happy.

I much prefer Spirit of Eden, but i think Runeii is a MUCH better ending than Wealth. They're both incredible albums, though.

Attached: 1382808241652.jpg (800x518, 291K)

yes

That was A-tier synth pop. Pic related has aged way better than anything Depeche Mode, OMD or TFF from the same period.

Attached: 419C07xzv6L.jpg (500x500, 25K)

It's true???????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fuck

Another agreeable statement. Talk Talk is legend.

If you don't like all of it then you're a fool.

That's the one I haven't gotten around to listening to- guess I'm obligated to now

It's My Life has some great songs but the recorded versions don't do them justice. The live album is where they shine. Tomorrow Started is GOAT

Living in Another World to You is probably the best pop song of the 80s too. Or Happiness Is Easy. The detail in production on the latter is astounding. Fuck, he was so good.

WHERE IS THE STICKY?

Nooooo

Alright now this is fucking gay. Since when was it cool to like Spirit of Eden and shit on Laughing Stock? Are the same people listening to SoE really deaf to what’s happening on Myrrhman, Taphead and Runeii? Or are they seeing how much New Grass and After the Flood get mentioned and seeing this as an insult to their obscurity? I don’t get it

Spirit of Eden is a more popular album outside of people who read pitchfork, honestly.

Since it's basically confirmed now, RIP to such a fantastic musician, very little music has touched me like his did.
Terribly sad, especially because 64 is just too young to go. I hope he's in a better place now and wish strength and solace to his friends and family.

Retards. Everything from CoS to Hollis s/t is GOAT.

People have different opinions user
Laughing Stock is my favourite personally.

mods plz sticky

how is anyone shitting on them

Wife just confirmed it's a sick hoax.

Doubt this will be stickied, Glenn Branca, Grant Hart and Alan Vega didn't get stickies either and their music is roughly on the same level of popularity on this board

Talk Talk has always gotten me through rough shit, New Grass was cathartic when my dog died. Mark Hollis was a true musical genius, and I hope his family is doing well. We lost a good one today.

This loss is in equivalence to Lou and Bowie for music as a whole. What a precious soul he was. No doubt his family will be broken considering what he put on hold to spend time with them. Bless his entire existence. RIP.

Yea but Talk Talk was popular as fuck in the 80s and early 90s. They used to be a Synthpop ffs.

Runeii always sounded like wishing farewell to life to me, those last few notes after those few seconds of silence followed by static and barely audible studio noise got me every time I listened to the record.

Started listening to Spirit of Eden. I don't get it. It's just generic folk rock.

Jesus man, that was unexpectable like was he suffering from any condition or disease? Cancer? 64 isn't young but it's uncommon to suddenly die if you are healthy.

Well, RIP. Not a big fan, I have only listened to Spirit of Eden (amazing record bt.w) but still sad. Such a talented man.

Fuck this was totally unexpected and hit hard.
Such a Shame is probably my favorite song of all time since I first heard it when I was a kid. And obviously the rest of his discography is amazing.
I particularly like his s/t, I wish it was as praised as Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, I think it's just as great

i don't know what to say

Nobody knows. Little is known about his life since his retirement in the late 90s

Cause of death has just been confirmed in a tweet by his ex-aunt in law, apparently he pooped his butt

never change Yea Forums

So basically a nice way of admitting he thought TT were trash and not worth his precious time reviewing.

STICKY THIS YOU FUCKING CUNT MODS TALK TALK IS MU AS FUCK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

probably waiting for real confirmation

Gideon Coe is up next and will be playing a lot of Talk Talk, he did that with Buzzcocks when Pete Shelley died.

they had a lot of hit singles. and while the last two albums were commercial failures the influence in later bands ran pretty deep

Thank fuck for Gideon Coe, everyone on earlier than him is usually insufferable or boring

His bassist, cousin-in-law, and music video director are pretty good sources, but it seems like Pitchfork is holding out for an actual publicity statement, which might be hard to get considering it's entirely possible he hasn't had management in two decades

I'm so scared of being in my 50s or 60s one day because of this reason. I can't imagine how people live knowing that they might die any day. Yes I know it's possible regardless of age, but it just gets likelier the older you get. That seriously fucks with me so bad.

I'd give them another shot, they're very similar sound-wise, both make use of empty space and an overall dynamic sound.
If Talk Talk is a beautiful sunrise, Bark Psychosis is the sunset.
While I don't know if I'd put Hex on the same pedestal as Spirit of Eden, it's still a masterpiece of composition and production.

Damn man, just damn.

I was hoping more would come out when I heard about that but nothing happened. I have to wonder now if some of his recordings will come out against his wishes. Their old record label loved to do shit like that without the bands input.

Literally the first time I've posted on Yea Forums in years.

The first musician death I'm actually sad about. Every time I heard about someone famous dying, I always said to myself, "At least Mark Hollis is still alive". Maybe now people will finally stop knowing him as the guy who wrote the song Gwen Stefani covered.

Attached: 1543059911078.jpg (1242x808, 36K)

This is absolutely the worst fucking news ever.

Rest up, Mark Hollis. Today, this world says farewell to one of its most compassionate, reverent and daring artists. His early career in the band Talk Talk (formed in 1981) bounces with lush humor and lively synths; after "The Colour of Spring" the band embraced an improvisational warmth inspired by the leader's direction. The first few records hinted at this leap with their sound-inclusive mirth; their later records hearkened back to the glib dance-tunes with a new—or old—wisdom. In an interview he revealed his creative process for these later releases: he'd get the band together and they'd record hours and hours of improvised riffs to be pieced together in production. This method supports a philosophy that our day often leaves behind in favor of "in your face" politics. The other master that instantly comes to mind in comparison who employs this intimate style is film director Terrence Malick (of Badlands, The Thin Red Line; To the Wonder). As well as the Talk Talk catalog Hollis put out a solo record in 1998 which was his final published album before he retired to focus on his family life. I can picture his smile today as he wishes his fellow English legend George Harrison a happy birthday. I can't tell you all how many times a friend has asked me "what have you been listening to these days?" and I'd just respond "oh you know . . .Talk Talk." Thank you, Mark Hollis.

Really liking Pygmalion thanks

Most of his songs were kind of sad anyway desu.

One thing for sure is that all 5 albums had a sound they wanted to capture and they did it. I'm not a huge fan of the debut but it is unfairly hated and the second album is really good even if it's a very 80s synthpop album.

oh my god, i don't know what to say this is heartbreaking

That pissed me off so much it was unbelievable. Some girls I'd met actually though Stefani wrote it or that her version was better. It made me sick to my stomach.

I have no idea what synths they used but they really stood out from other bands of the time. Marks voice was also totally different to anything else.

Fuck. Never been this sad over a musicians death . He was fucking young . Playing new grass ...fuck

>I'm not a huge fan of the debut
The band's keyboard player left after that record, meaning they couldn't really be a synth-pop act anymore. One big "what if" is how they might have evolved if he'd stayed.

I'd say the director that reflects Mark Hollis' ethics best is Hou Hsiao Hsien (specifically post 1989)

just use soulseek or rutracker

Source? Never heard this before and he seems to shy to be so forefront.

laughing stock is perfect

What a terrible start to the week

Mark Hollis was one of the absolute greatest musicians of all time, but I respected him more for quitting while he was ahead. He was one of the few people that just said, "I've done all I've needed to do, so I'm done", and actually quit and never look back to leave behind the massive and respectable legacy he did.

I'm 100% okay with the fact we never got any new music from him after his s/t, and all I can hope is that he enjoyed his life in absolute privacy away from an ever-changing world that needs to know everything about everyone in the age of social media.

RIP

He executed probably the greatest vanishing act in pop music history, no reunion tours, no 'comebacks', nothing, and I imagine he turned down numerous lucrative offers to do so. Absolute don.

I don't really listen to post-rock. The only stuff I listen to occasionally is Starlafur by Sigur Ros. Would I even enjoy Talk Talk?

Depends who you ask, opinion always varies between After the Flood and New Grass. I prefer the former much more though.

me too! I just put on Spirit of Eden and I'm honestly blown away

I mean, Sigur Ros are probably more influenced by Talk Talk than most other post-rock

Shit
Guess it's time to listen to his solo album tonight then

it's not post rock as most people know it today, more a mix of krautrock, ambient and spiritual jazz

Surely A Life is considered his masterpiece?

Spirit of Eden is literally the greatest album ever produced. FUCK.

Wish I could've done this. I discovered It's My Life first and only heard Party's Over many years later since I'd heard it wasn't that good.

After The Flood will always be what I consider their masterpiece. It's pure perfection.

i've never quite seen them as a post-rock group though i understand they laid some of the foundation with their last two albums. their first two albums are synthpop, colour of spring is an art-rocky transitional thing and the last two are i guess that kind of proto-postrock style. it's hard to pin down. give it a shot?

Laughing Stock is the greatest rock album ever - Spirit of Eden is a fantastic stepping stone though

RIP to a genius. His music got me through a very dark time in my life

Laughing Stock definitely is post-rock. I guess you could argue SoE is art rock with heavy post-rock development in there, but I still consider it both. SoE is honestly more accessible than people give it credit for.

Bands like Sigur Ros and Radiohead would not exist if not for Mark Hollis.

Laughing Stock

came to say F

Music peaked with laughing stock

"By early March 1988, the band had finished recording Spirit of Eden and had sent a cassette of the album to EMI. After listening to the cassette, EMI representatives doubted that it could be commercially successful. They asked Hollis to re-record a song or replace material, but he refused to do so."

this music is way too boomer for me desu, or too white one of the two. Probably both.

I don't want him to get a tribute album, that doesn't seem like the way he'd like to go out.

It seems to me like Graham always wants to keep moving and trying new things and that the relentless experimentation has actually prevented him from being more prolific because he gets bored of what he's working on before he finishes a project. Between him going back to Hex last year to remaster it and this news I think he may return to post-rock soon though

Nah, the SACDs (at least the DSD layer) are unique remasters and more dynamic than the '97 versions, Spirit of Eden in particular is widely considered the best version (and is also rare and expensive, of course). The 2012 editions are also good, only the '97s have limiting/compression

I would have preferred it if we had the finished version of Ascension Day, but he did a decent job trying to get it to work at least.

Full version of Ascension Day never ever.

Fuck, this is one of the first musician deaths who was someone I could call one of my favorite artists. At least he seemed like he'd finished all he'd tried to accomplish.

Is it a different master? Fair enough, I’ll give it a listen.

plen that's the best part of the track. the sudden drop of sound is sure to make you pay attention to the next track.

That's the one thing I hate about Ascension Day- why did they blueball us on such a reflective and calm album? I can understand stopping abruptly, but literally stopping the tape just before the release seems like something a punk band would do.

Thanks for sharing user.

wasn't there a production error so they were forced to cut it off? I hope I'm wrong however, the idea of it being lost forever bothers me.

I never listened to Talk Talk before, so I put Laughing Stock almost a week ago and thought it was ok (6/10). Am I missing something?
This is a serious question.
Also F.

it's a grower imo. but it's also ok if you don't like it

The first time I heard it I thought the mp3s I downloaded from soulseek were fucked up and I lost my shit. It took a while to appreciate that cut for what it is. Really one of those amazing moments where the sudden loss of dynamics is almost music in and of itself.

R.I.P.

As long as its not the 97 remasters (which are unfortunately the versions on streaming) all their modern reissues are really good and improvements on the original CDs imo, I'm normally critical of remasters and I still think it's a shame they still haven't redone The Party's Over and Laughing Stock considering how good the 2012 ones are.
The two SACDs they did maybe emphasize space more vs. the DVDAs/hi-res being more bassy, but they're all fully dynamic versions

Laughing Stock is straight up the most atmospheric record ever. I still remember when I first heard After the Flood. I was in my sophmore year in highschool and the entire sky was grey as it if it was about to rain at any time. I was so blown away that I just stopped walking to my next class and sat down on a bench to take it all in.

It grows over time and also suffers from the Seinfeld effect. Practically nothing in rock music prior to it and Spirit of Eden sound like it. The only real analogy you can draw is some of the threads that Miles Davis laid down on In a Silent Way. A sprinkling of some Sonic Youth moments too, but beyond that, Talk Talk just kicked the doors down into their branch of post rock almost singlehandedly

really sad

it makes me even sadder knowing that his death will hardly be acknowledged and those who do will only know him for "it's my life"

His name is #1 trending in the US on Twitter right now

I'm an English teacher and I do a thing with my students where if they're willing to listen to albums off a 10 page list of essentials I created over time and write me a multipage review of the album, I'll give them extra credit.

Just offered my students double credit if they listen to and review Spirit of Eden or Laughing Stock.

that's good at least, i want him to get the recognition he deserves

it's worldwide trending i think

There are moments on Anima Latina and Van Morrison's Common One which do remind me of LS and SoE, but it's really astounding how singular their sound was.

at least over here in the UK it's #1 too with 26.7k tweets

Yeah I just changed my prefs to worldwide, he's #1 in the world

Yea Forums tourist here that came to pay respect to this genius musician

RIP

it'll grow on you, quite quickly at that.

i'm happy to hear this :)

Sounds good. The ‘97 masters suck so much cock I basically shyed away from SoE remasters as a whole, but if the SACD and 2012 are an actual improvement then it’s worth my time to pick and choose the one I like.

I'm pretty sure it's because there was blackout in the studio.

>literal whomst gets a sticky
Yea Forums is dead

Bad bait

>no Xxxtentacion sticky

Nigger won't ever get a sticky.

Yeah that happened a while ago with some Miller guy. I guess the mods learned their lesson, this is a deserved sticky.

Not sure what ITAOTS has to do with this, I think that the Kpop fags saying literally who would probably also do that for Jeff Mangum, and definitely would for Julian Koster

came back to Yea Forums hoping there was a thread. thank you for what you did Hollis. F

I'm late because I came from work, but I have to pay respects to this great artist.

RIP Mark Hollis. Thanks for the great music that has meant so much to so many. May your soul find its Eden.

wtf, I love board tourists now

>imposing your tastes for extra credit
Sounds like a great way to make your pupils resent Talk Talk. Way to go, faggot.

This is the first celebrity death ever that’s had me feel straight up depressed. I’ve never given this much of a shit before about people dying. But Mark, Mark is special.

same. it hurts :(((

Objectively true
Echoes actually isn't a million miles off later Talk Talk's sound, an album with those two sides wouldn't sound off at all.

>The silence that rounds off A New Jerusalem sounds absolutely deafening now
Lads, I don't think I can take it
