Nope. Everyone in my rundown-church-building-turned-office loves this song! Lazarus is stopping by in a minute!

Bill & Rebecca, you can never play enough Talk Talk. Just sayin'.

I can't live...is living without you.  Nilsson.

Who else in previous comments heard the similarity?  Is that on purpose or by coincidence?

This is a rather sophisticated and daring sound, ahead of its time. 1988 seems like a long time ago and had its shortage of music anywhere close to mainstream that was different and arresting. This is that, but it still takes some getting used to.

"The Pusher"!  Wow.  A long forgotten great song. 

Never played on RP though. Deserves a spin once in a while in my opinion.

Forgotten quite how magical this song is! Thank you Bill for reminding me. Vivid memories of listening to this on my Walkman (yes, the tape version) in 1990, walking through the jungle in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Must dig out the CD some time and play extremely loud when the neighbours are out!

Bill, is the live version of "Life is What You Make It" in your vault?  As you know easily as great a track as "The Rainbow."  8 > 9

25 years old.....and intense enough to rival anything progressive on the radio today.  And, it has space.  Robert Plant said all songs should have space in them.  I understand Plant's 'space' as a pause, a few seconds of stopping the beat, a break in the vocals.  This song has that...and it kicks!

Seriously one of the most unappreciated bands ever.
They were always billed as New Wave as it seemed and yet they created music that has gone beyond such a wimpy monicker.
Radiohead wishes they could make music as rich.

Thinking this takes Bill back to radio days where a 9+ minute long song allowed for a nice break from the chair.... :)

Mark Hollies ... 

The story goes that the first 2-3 albums were made for the sake to produce money. When they where given free hands to produce what they really wanted, they made this masterpiece of an album ... and where then sacked from their record company.

It's worth going back to that stuff. The Colour of Spring is an absolute belter of an album and I too was indifferent when it first appeared.

I knew - and liked - Talk Talk previously.

How did I miss this song?  I might like it as much as Another World

Wow....
This was a band that I was not even aware of, until you played a track earlier today - now the entire CD is in my collection.
Radio Paradise, you certainly cost me more money in downloads, than you do in my monthly patronage to your station, and my life is far richer for it!
Thank you again!!
