Had the decorators in today so I had to keep the hifi volume a lot lower than normal, so decided to play all the Nine Skies albums. I truly love this band - they hit my musical nerve perfectly:

Nine Skies - Return Home (LP, 2017)
BC, SPO


Nine Skies - Sweetheart Grips (LP, 2019)
BC, SPO


Nine Skies - 5.20 (LP, 2021)

Last night I listened to Talk Talk's 'The Spirit of Eden'. For some reason I became interested in the lyrics and using Google I landed on genius.com.
This is a good site that not only provides lyrics to tracks but also provides info on the track itself including subject, inspiration,influenes etc. The site also allows for comments.
Whilst listening to the track 'I Believe In You', I dived into a bit of an interesting rabbit hole. The track is about heroin addiction, more specifically the addiction that Mark Hollis's older brother, Ed, found himself consumed by in the '80s. A link on the genius site leads to a bio of Ed who was a mover and shaker in the music industry in the late '70s early '80s. Although not a musician, he started out as manager of Eddie & The Hot Rods. Probably true to say, without Ed there would be no Talk Talk. I found his tragic story somewhat fascinating and, of course, Mark's demise was similarly tragic.

I find the whole Hollis saga fascinating. I have 'a perfect silence', the biography and have read selected parts. Hollis' disappearance from the public eye, his behavior in the studio, such a complex character. But the music and recording techniques were so far advanced, really extraordinary.

Will read up on the rest and actually read the book...
