scott walker had one of the most distinctive voices of the 60's, with the walker brothers produced some fantastic tracks and they put todays male singers to shame.. gates? young?.. useless compared to scott walkers class. dunno about his solo work though..

ALL the songs are on Scott 1, 2 and 3. (except on the vinyl where, for some unknown reason they put the Walker song Little Things on the thing) and it's only about 9 tracks so represents poor value. I'll give it a 5

Scott Walker on Imagine BBC 1 tonight, usual suspects rounded up to give praise

I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

 

Good to see cameos from David Bowie, Brian Eno, Jarvis Cocker, Marc Almond, Alison Goldfrapp.

 

The best quote of the night came from Brian Eno "(White Rock) Music in the 21st Century hasn't progressed. It basically all Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Joy Division & The Smiths reheated".

yeah i did too!!! would like to get a copy of Nite Flights, thats sounds like a cool album.

and Gavin Friday, or was it Bono :lol: ?!?!?!?

 

i actually thought it was Bono at first when i glanced at the tv screen but it wasnt.

 

was wondering if Gavin Friday and Bono are actually related as they seem to look like a tribute act of each other :lol: (!!!) but it turns out that The Edge's brother Dik was Gavin Friday's guitarist instead???!?!?! bizarre!!!!

or if your guitar is a bit 'angular' XTC and Wire :lol: but hey man if you've never heard it before and it's new to you and sounds good doesnt matter what year it came from. its all good and probs will sound 'less produced' and more organic.
