Format:Audio CD
Talk Talk went from being New Romantic clones to experimental jazz-esque pioneers in the space of less than 7 years - as recorded here.
The bonus of having their (frankly excellent, if mildly disturbing) videos finally on DVD makes this an utterly essential, and extremely good value purchase.
Most are directed by Tim Pope, who focussed on great ideas and mood, rather than special effects. The live versions of Dum Dum Girl and Give It Up are particular highlights for me, though the bizarre images in Living In Another World, of the band adrift, upside down, in darkness, on a dismembered piano are wonderfully surreal, too!
The later songs' production stand up well to the scrutiny of today's tastes, whereas the synth-pop charm of the earlier tracks has worn a little thin, even if the pop hooks are still intact.
A truly great compilation, and whilst it may not be thought of as their 'best' work, does include all the singles.
Enjoy!

Format:Audio CD
this is a crucial release and well overdue,i only got this for the dvd as i have every song on cd allready at least once!!!!very cheap for such a lot of good stuff.it really is amazing what they achieved in a few short years but sadly most people only know 2 or 3 of the hits and have no idea what brilliant later work was created.the early videos are so dated but my foolish friend to me actually improves the song somehow,the it's my life video is beautiful,and i never tire of life's what you make it either.all the songs on the cd are good,most are very good.there is only one thing i don't like and that is that yet again no songs from "laughing stock" are added at the end and they could possibly have put solo mark hollis/orang representation to complete the story.despite that complaint it is great anyway!

Love this collection, but such a shame they couldn't be bothered to remaster the audio on the CD (though they did on the accompanying DVD of promo videos?!) - all the original albums were remastered in 1997, so all they had to do was recompile it. Why they didn't do this escapes me - laziness, greed, ignorance?

My buy of the decade !!
I was inspired by Talk Talk because my dad used to play their "tapes" (remember them) in the car on long journeys. Read more
