 (4 Customer Reviews)
Arranged in chronological order, NATURAL HISTORY is a collection that highlights Talk Talk's hugely successful singles. The first two tracks, "Today" and "Talk Talk," both from the band's debut, THE PARTY'S OVER, are high-energy calling cards featuring their early trademarks--Mark Hollis's intriguing lyrics and oddly detached vocals, and a funky, thumping rhythm section. An edited version of "My Foolish Friend" follows, which shows a concerted effort to expand their musical palette, adding more space to their sound.
With their second album, IT'S MY LIFE, the band began a longterm relationship with producer Tim Friese-Greene, which saw them moving even further afield--see the weird, elephant-like effects on the spectacular "Such a Shame," which also features a wonderfully serpentine bass line. The next five tracks are from the band's third album, THE COLOUR OF SPRING, where they began to use more acoustic instruments, including some beautiful acoustic guitar on "Living in an Another World," and "I Don't Believe in You." "Desire," part of a three-song suite opening their fourth album, combines almost ambient passages with blistering guitar explosions in a truly unsettling song that ignores most of the rules of pop song construction.

I thought I was one of the few turned on to this group when they first came out! I don't own this cd because I couldn't wait to snatch up the original material when it went from vinyl to cd! I wasn't too crazy about their final effort but the two preceding it were phenomenal, taking nothing away from the mega hit one preceding it...but the Spirit of Eden one has always just blown me away! Even with only 6 Songs it's worth the investment! April Song and I Believe still rank among my all time favorites! Just buy it!

This band has to be one of the most under-appreciated in America. This collection is fantastic from start to finish, with a sound that's consistently identifiable, but also demonstrating a very apparent evolution. The songs overflow with keyboards that glide and glisten with a life of their own, synth sounds that resemble animal noises, and heavy, creative use of percussion. The intelligent lyrics are delivered with emotion. And of course, there's "It's My Life", the quintessential New Wave hit that will never die. A couple of the cuts drag a little, straying from tight pop structure too much for my taste, but they still have musical merit. The final cut, "Tomorrow's Started", is operatic in scope and execution. Throughout the CD, you can hear a little U-2, a little Echo & The Bunnymen, but by no means is this band a cookie-cutter New Wave product. All in all, this CD is not only an essential 80's album but a work of art in and of itself.

"Skipping Work" (a sweet, soul ballad floater). "Sunday" (a truly fine cut) and "I'll Love You Tomorrow" (a most pleasant slice of balladry) as published by David Cole in his IN THE BASEMENT magazine in England.Bryan really shows his skills on these tunes not only singing the lead vocals but, all the background vocals as well.The great HIP HOP grove of his version of "Summertime", introduces to some and reacquaints others with the Gershwin classic and has brought many smiles to the faces of those reminiscing ...
