Released 1991Punk & New Wave
Start here

A hushed, improvisational landmark that helped invent post-rock. Spacious and beautiful. A quiet masterpiece. Released in 1991, it's one of Talk Talk's later high points.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
