Talk Talk’s 1986 album The Colour of Spring features bright, vibrant 1980s production, but it largely eschews the synthetic textures of the 1980s. Lee Harris’ drums are organic and jazzy, and the band’s synths are subtle, largely supplanted by organic textures like piano, percussion, and guitar.
While Talk Talk’s early albums are stiff and claustrophobic, The Colour of Spring is alive and spacious. ‘Living In Another World’ features Mark Feltham’s harmonica and Steve Winwood’s organ, and structurally it’s inspired by Miles Davis’ modal compositions. The Colour of Spring was a hit, selling more than two million copies.
