Release Notes:
--------------
Achingly gorgeous and hauntingly stark, Mark Hollis' self-titled debut
picks up where he left off with Talk Talk's Laughing Stock seven years
earlier, re-emerging at the nexus point where jazz, ambient, and folk
music collide. It's quite possibly the most quiet and intimate record
ever made, each song cut to the bone for maximum emotional impact and
every note carrying enormous meaning. Hollis paints his music in fine,
exquisite strokes, with an uncanny mastery of atmosphere that's
frequently devastating. And if anything, his singularly resonant voice
has grown even more plaintive with the passage of time, which --
combined with the understated artistry and minimalist beauty of tracks
like "The Colour of Spring" and "Watershed" -- makes Mark Hollis a
truly unique and indelible listening experience. His obvious
understanding of the power of silence aside, one prays he doesn't again
wait for the seven-year itch to strike before returning.
