From talktalkbook.com @richardbarbieri.bsky.social: ‘To me #SpiritOfEden and #LaughingStock are quite simply works of art. These albums have such an exquisite beauty about them and a complete and powerful understanding of space. There's magic at work here and a spirituality of sorts.’ 🎨 James Marsh
