Always try to go for the vinyl first if you can, the cd's are ok but not as good over all, in my opinion.
There were great b-side singles released on the 12" versions of the Colour of Spring singles, most notably Pictures of Bernadette and It's Getting Late In The Evening (a truly beautiful, moving, masterful song that should not have been just a b-side to Life's What You Make It).
This CD to me is the first to get of any Talk Talk albums. While I prefer Spirit Of Eden (one of the greatest albums of the 80's) over anything else they did, Colour of Spring is still a wonderful album that has never tired for me.
"The simplicity of the songs and Mark Hollis's voice make this album just incredible," Mr. Wright had explained to Record Collector magazine. "The first tune, 'Happiness Is Easy', says it all--nothing but a bass, a snare and a weird chord. That's Talk Talk all over, great songs and simplicity with a twist ... Why does it touch me? Hard to say, but it's got the feelgood factor, which all my favourite records have..."
From the second I heard the opening to "Happiness is Easy", I knew every word of Mr. Wright's was dead-on accurate. "Colour of Spring" is indeed a most appropriate title--I immediately felt a sense of gentle, uplifting power coming from the music. Although pensive, sometimes even sad in the lyrics at times, he does not go overboard with it. Mr. Hollis' voice becomes like a musical instrument in its own right, mingling perfectly with the open, never overpowering musical arrangements.
Particularly striking about this album are the Hammond organ played by Steve Winwood, which floats gently in the background and provides each track is atmosphere. The acoustic guitar and piano seem to dance gracefully in and out of the songs. Overall, Colour of Spring is incredibly soothing, but without putting the listener to sleep. This is the perfect album to unwind from a stressful day, and definitely a recommendation worth listening to!
