bubinga5 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) They are a real favorite of mine and my sister.I love Mark,s voice. Really really great bass playing from Paul Webb I think, just superb playing and is so for the music.the bridge on this record is where he really shines. Great creative playing. http://youtu.be/5ixRWvrkUHo Edited October 7, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Great track. One of my favourites growing up. Not happy with their broadband service though 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Great band... not really focused on the bass. Just took in the whole vibe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Bought a Best Of after a friend told me I'd love them. Fantastic band, remembered I'd heard "Life's What You Make It" on a late night music channel many years ago but forgot about them entirely. Like Visog, just took it all in rather than listened to the specific components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkandrew Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) An interesting bass related story here about the recording of one of the tracks on "It's My Life": http://www.philspalding.com/music-and-mayhem/story/talk-talk-its-my-life Edited October 7, 2016 by darkandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Colour of Spring and Its My Life were exceptional albums both Some beautiful fretless by Paul on Renee from Its My Life [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cog7vYXTHIo[/media] Edited October 8, 2016 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I used to know Mark fairly well - it's a shame he struggled with live performance (see what I did there TT aficionados) and more or less stopped recording new material as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyV Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I have a couple of their albums but love Its My Life in particular with 'Tomorrow Started' being a stand out track for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQAOdpj7lm4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc42 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 "It''s my life" is still a staple part of my 80s band set list. Always goes down well (although am often asked 'who was that one by'). Great fun to play too! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 A staple in our 80s set also. Fretless 2 band Ray into a Markbass with a Boss Chorus. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Were once known as The Reaction, I think? Streets album on Beggars Banquet, amazing version of Talk Talk? Brilliant band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1475911292' post='3149637'] I saw them at Milton Keynes Bowl on October 2nd 1982 and they were great then. Been a fan ever since that gig. I'm not saying you had to have been there or anything :-) [/quote] Beat me to it, I was there too, 3rd row from the front, Talk Talk were...hypnotic...been a fan since then. Great day all round.... I think I'm still drying out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always looked a little that way, but I remember being unsure if it was that or just a really cool way of being slightly aloof. Not in a snotty way, just in a really 'into it' sort of way.
