Talk Talk – Laughing Stock

If I was forced (against my will) to choose the one record that’s had the most impact on me – both in terms of enjoyment and how that enjoyment has influenced my later listening, and my creative approach too – Talk Talk’s ‘Laughing Stock’ (and also the self-titled Mark Hollis album) has to be it! First given to me by my dad when I was a young teen, forever changing what I thought about music and opening me up to a whole world of magic.
