   The Colour of Spring

   Inside the mind of Mark Hollis we go as Tone sets Paul Talk Talk's 1986 album as homework. Over a year in the making. More experimental than their earlier output and more poppy than their future work. Plenty of respected musicians who were afforded "spontaneity and freedom" to create a "very textured arrangement". What will Paul make of it all? To find out...please try listening.

   Marquee Moon

   Mercurial and influential, Television's 1977 album gets a spin on the Turntable. Avant-garde? Certainly. Prog? Possibly. Punk? Not on your Nelly. Which of Tone's favourite bands led him to discover Tom Verlaine and friends? What was the deal with nicking members of Blondie? And how much will Paul enjoy all this glorious madness? For the answers...please try listening.

   David Guerrero and the Beatles in Manila

It was just a couple of weeks before the release of Revolver. But why was their live set so markedly different from their studio work? What was the story of the then-biggest pop concert in history? And what were the consequences of the band's supposed snub of Imelda Marcos. To find out...please try listen...
