listen to talk talk's 'laughing stock' and 'spirit of eden', those two records were the band experimenting with music and sound whillst under the influence of heroin. they are both truly great records. this was a band who was known for making (pretty damn good) synth pop singles and making lots of money. Then they (mark hollis and friese-greene) went into the studio and decided it was a good idea to shoot tons of heroin, gather together 16 musicians, and jam out for hours on instrumental improvisation. They then did more dope and used digital equipment to edit and arrange all the improv they did. The result is a beautiful arrangement of ambient music, jazz, classical instrumentation, and pop/rock. They then did this same thing and perfected it even more on "Laughing Stock". I love these albums mucho, and then even sold millions of records too, pretty nuts.
