Thanks! Talk Talk are great! Pretty sure I've heard that one once but haven't added it yet. Will have to revisit it for sure.

Not surprised you've heard it, but since you hadn't charted or rated it, I thought it'd be forum malpractice not to mention it!

Tarka- Anthony Phillips from Genesis teams up with the son of Henry Williamson (Author of Tarka the Otter) for a soundtrack that didn't get used. A bit pastoral for 1989, but I love the melodies and harmonies. Great guitar work, backed by synths and orchestra.

Tarka by Anthony Phillips & Harry Williamson

Thanks. I do like soundtracks so I shall give this a shot!

From the late 60s up until this year's music I'm most unfamiliar with 87, 88 and 89. Also 90 & 91. Any recommendations of less popular albums during those years? Something badass and experimental would be a plus.
