Mark Hollis RIP

My word, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, especially Laughing Stock are remarkable works of art.

Very sad.

I will check out those works. All I know are the mainstream Talk Talk releases, and those alone are an exceptional legacy.

His wiki's all over the place.  "Was a musician", "Is a musician".  Death date added and then removed.  I think we ought to hang fire, here.  His solo self-titled, too Twed; on the same level as late Talk Talk.

Edit: now it's again saying he's died.  Awful news, if true.

Thanks!

tweet from his cousin seems reliable. a sad day.

Those first two Talk Talk albums effectively shaped my taste in music. Their later post-rock stuff and Mark's solo album were superb. RIP
