Reviews Customer Reviews for Natural History The Very Best Of Talk Talk      Tells you very little      Rating:      Although Talk Talk, aided by Tim Friese-Greene, were to radically alter the music world and make for music on unparalleled power on their last two albums Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, they began as a New Romantic pop band with a sound totally unsuited to the voice of singer Mark Hollis. In the process, it is true, they had one major hit in Australia with "Talk Talk", a grating, almost noisy dance-pop tune on which Hollis' voice was the worst kind of whine. Their first three albums made Talk Talk almost stars and even got them onto the Billboard Top 100, but already by this time The Colour of Spring they had moved completely away from their Spandau Ballet-like roots onto music that has stood the test of time much better. When I used to listen to the commercial music of the eighties - before Joe S. Harrington told me the truth about it with his brilliant Top 100 Albums - I had an earlier copy of "Natural History: The Very Best of Talk Talk" and to be quite frank never got into any stage of the band's work. The later work that I now recognise as passionate I thought slothly slow and in any case there is (due to the original albums issue date) nothing from their amazing final album and only an edited version of one of their finest songs, "Desire". Also missing from "The Colour of Spring" are "April 5th" and "Time It's Time." All in all, "Natural History: The Very Best of Talk Talk" tells you nothing about what became - after a slow start - a wonderful and innovative band.     Customer Reviews for Natural History The Very Best Of Talk Talk Cd      Excellent best hits collection!!      Rating:      This is a very rare DVD featuring 9 hits of Talk Talk. The videos are clear and the sound quality is real good. There is a menu which allows viewers to jump directly to a specific video or watch all of the videos. The video for Living In Another World is amazing. Good special effects for its time of release. There is some live footage of the band performing Give It Up. This DVD is worth the price. I rate this classic DVD with 5 stars.
