THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS 'Talk Talk Talk' LP

Working solely with Steve Lillywhite, The Psychedelic Furs introduced a brighter, poppier side to their underground rock edge on 1981's  Talk Talk Talk. Most well-known is the lead track, "Pretty in Pink," and similarly lighter numbers on the record call to mind a rockier version of Roxy Music's output in later years: elegant, romantic angst given a slightly rougher edge in both music and vocals.

Talk Talk Talk ends on another high with "All of This and Nothing." A soft, acoustic guitar-sax-rhythm combination introduces the song, then fades away for the main section to begin; Butler details bits and pieces from a lost relationship over a sharp full-band performance, and a final drum smash leads into a reprise of the start -- a fine way to end a fine record.
