Why This Record Matters
The Colour Of Spring marked Talk Talk's transition from synth-pop toward the sophisticated art rock sound that would define their later work. Featuring "Life's What You Make It" and "Living In Another World," the album is widely regarded as one of the essential releases of the 1980s.
