Seeking A Star

Got the sad news yesterday morning that Noel Scott Engel, better known as Scott Walker, has passed away. The man with the golden voice was 76. Starting out as a bona fide pop star with the Walker Brothers, he made what is arguably his masterpiece with the lush Scott 4 in 1969, to drift more and more towards the avant-garde from the eighties on, creating some heavy but always rewarding and very original albums in the process. Miss him.

In His Tiny Hands

You like strings? Now that's a coincidence. Warning: pop genius at work.

Scott Walker - The Girls From The Streets
Scott Walker - Plastic Palace People

Never Sold Out

Old gets a new life with two examples of Scott Walker magic, from the lush Scott 4 and the ruthless Tilt respectively. Left of center crooning never goes out of style, my amigos da musica.
