There are albums I've continued to spin over the years, albums that I never seem to get board with, this is one of those albums. I first picked it up in perhaps 1983 on vinyl two years after its original release in 1981. I was just starting to discover the whole new wave scene and was looking for new stuff to listen to, it didn't take long to find this gem. Considered by many to be the Furs best work Talk Talk Talk is the second of five releases by The Psychedelic Furs. Produced by Steve Lillywhite it helped establish the band not only in the UK but North America as well. A solid album from beginning to end it yielded two charting singles "Dumb Waiters" and an original version of "Pretty in Pink" which slightly different than the version used in the John Hughes film. A raw hard edged sound but at the same time well composed an melodic, it is an excellent example of the work being done in the post punk era by a band that knew how to write good songs. I absolutely f--kin love this album, the saxophone work is exception, pick it up...
