Talk Talk-The Colour Of Spring (1985)

The Color Of Spring is the third album by the British Talk Talk, considered by many to be their best production as well as one of the highest quality works of the 1980s.
Away from the initial sound of the band where synth-pop and new wave were the basis of their style, here the group opts for more avant-garde and experimental sounds, with a certain melancholy, but retaining that powerful and solemn pop.
Especially notable is Steve Winwood's involvement with the Hammond organ, providing them with a sonic environment that rides between progressive and space rock at times.
In this album the band is surrounded by more than fifteen invited musicians, among which are among others David Rhodes, David Roach, Robbie McIntosh or Steve Winwood himself, all of which contributes significantly to the sound enrichment of a production as solemn as it is rich in musical nuances.
That huge sound passage resulting from the large number of instruments used, we have it in the dense I Don´t Believe In You, which becomes a Talk Talk classic.
Also memorable are the rhythm Living In Another World, where they remind us of their previous stage, the intimate Chamaleon Day, with that pessimistic aura, the exciting Give it up, where they come close enough to the style of Winwood in their records from the 80s , and the hypnotic Time it´s Time as the culmination of this impressive album with its 8 minute duration.
