Fierce Panda Records and musical director Alan Wilder have revealed the full tracklist for Spirit of Talk Talk, an upcoming 2CD tribute album dedicated to hugely influential synth group Talk Talk that will feature contributions from members of The Arcade Fire and Grandaddy, as well as ex-Depeche Mode member Wilder’s Recoil project.
Originally announced as a late-spring release, the 30-track set — plus three digital-only bonus tracks — is now due out Sept. 3 on Fierce Panda, around the same time the similarly delayed “Spirit of Talk Talk” illustrated book is now expected to be published.
The tribute album features Wilder pairing up both with My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Worden to perform “Dum Dum Girl” and with U.K. dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson and Paul Marshall, aka Lone Wolf, to perform “Inheritance.” The set also includes contributions from Duncan Sheik (“Life’s What You Make Of It”), Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle (“Tomorrow’s Started”), Joan as Police Woman (“Myrrhman”) and The Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry (“I Believe In You”).
