Mix Mistress Alice💄" Found this old VHS tape of an interview I did with Mark Hollis for Danish television. Around the time of the release of his solo album. It's the raw footage, not the edited version that ended up on tv. Sorry about the timecode in picture, and the pour sound quality - and please disregard my questions, they were never meant for broadcast. Only a few minutes of this, was ever aired on television. Some of that is quoted in the wonderful book by Ben Wardle: 'Mark Hollis a Perfect Silence.'If anyone knows how to reach Mr. Wardle, please let him know this exists, maybe he could use more from the interview for any future editions of the book, and maybe he'll credit me this time (the credit in the first edition is wrong - since they had no way of knowing, that it really was me interviewing Mark).

But this is not bland, least-common denominator stuff; the effect here is evoked by this music having elements of different styles but none that overwhelm the whole - rhythmic but gentle, celebratory but controlled, pretty but not saccharine, synth driven but organic - glints of shiny metallic or crystal bits against a deep organic ground.This album finds the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TalkTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TalkTalk</a> transitioning from upstart <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/synthpop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#synthpop</a> purveyors towards something approaching symphonic.
