Mark
Hollis is the only studio album by English musician and
singer-songwriter Mark Hollis, the former Talk Talk front man, released in 1998. Originally
it was meant to be a Talk Talk album, by the name Mountains of the
Moon, but in the end it was decided to release it as a solo album. It
continues where the final Talk Talk album Laughing Stock left off,
atmospheric ambient post-rock with a dash of contemporary classical
music. It has been called "the most quiet and intimate record ever
made". Not for everyone, but if you are susceptible to this kind of
minimal music (like I am) it is an absolute masterpiece. My favourites
from the album are Watershed, Inside Looking Out, Westward Bound, and A New Jerusalem.
