Description

Spirit Of Eden is one of the most quietly revolutionary albums of the late 20th century — a haunting, atmospheric fusion of jazz, ambient, classical, and minimalist rock. Recorded through long improvisational sessions and painstaking editing, the album marked Talk Talk’s complete transformation from synth‑pop outsiders to pioneers of what would later be recognised as post‑rock.

This 2012 Parlophone reissue includes a heavyweight 180g LP and an audio‑only DVD featuring a 96kHz/24‑bit LPCM stereo mix, offering the most detailed and immersive presentation of the album to date. The DVD also includes the bonus track “John Cope”, originally released as the B‑side to I Believe In You.
