INTRO: The story of English singer/songwriter MARK HOLLIS is an
inspiration to serious musicians and listeners everywhere -- a
lesson in 'following the muse' to a place of true creativity.
Born in London in 1955, Hollis came of age in the 1970s and
embarked on the mythic road to fame and fortune by starting a
rock band. After a few false starts it worked, and the group
TALK TALK began a short, brilliant pop music career that included
several gold records in England and Europe in the 1980s.
But Mark Hollis' artistic yearnings pulled him off the beaten
track and into a subtle, moving and deeply contemplative space
-- influenced by jazz, blues, ambient and chamber music, yet
sounding unlike anyone else, before or since.
The two final TALK TALK albums, SPIRIT OF EDEN from 1988 and
LAUGHING STOCK from 1991, plus a 1998 solo album titled simply
MARK HOLLIS, are all quiet masterpieces and timeless works of art,
graced by profoundly poetic lyrics and vocals from powerfully
emotional...to evanescent.
