Discography of Talk Talk Discography of Mark Hollis



  • Talk Talk Live at Montreaux (wonderful)

  • Talk Talk Live in London (Hammersmith Odeon) 1986 (Very Rare)

  • Asides Besides (2000) - I like it, includes some very good music you may not have heard

  • Natural History - Begrudgingly tolerated by band but a good start for a new listener

  • Remix Album - Notoriously litigated production. Not Talk Talk so you will need to look for it elsewhere

  • Missing Pieces - Rare, unreleased (at time) out-takes (Rare.) Interestingly, Phill Brown was very against this in an interview. His approach was that they progressively deleted unused material in the studio, at the time. On this basis, all that was left, was released on the album. His view was this was a cynical move by the former manager... you can fill in the gaps. I have heard this album. Other than the rarity factor, i was a bit underwhelmed IMHO.

  • Mark Hollis (1998)

These are not by the band but may be of interest to fans:

Are we still rolling? Phill Brown

This is a very interesting read (at least for me) which described some of the recording sessions of Talk Talk albums (amongst others.) If you are interested in Phill Brown, he is active on Facebook. His interviews on Youtube are also worth a look if you enjoyed his book.

Spirit of Talk Talk

A tribute album of covers, performed by bands influenced by Talk Talk


Spirit of Talk Talk is also a book written about Talk Talk and includes contributions from those influenced by the band.
