Often lauded a masterpiece, Spirit Of Eden marked a radical change from Talk Talk’s synth-pop beginnings - moulding into an album that would go onto pioneer post-rock. The album was produced over the course of almost a year, compiling improvised, experimental performances which culminated in a mixture of jazz, ambient, rock into one of the most experimental albums.
Released in 1988, the album has somewhat grown in cult status to frequently appear on a number of greatest albums of all time lists. The album will be cut at half-speed for the first time at Metropolis Studios, following up from the half- speed master of It’s My Life at the end of 2024.
