[music, artists] May 14, 2006 at 5:49:00 PM CEST March 1984: Climate of Hunter May 1995: Tilt May 2006: The Drift The eleven year cycle of Scott Walker. Which leads to a new album released in spring. The most unlikely time to listen to his music. Maybe it is too dark, too hermetic, too horrifying to be taken in in e.g. November. As it would then double the suicide rate in between his fans. And he wouldn't earn enough money to make another album eleven years later? Or is it just natural for him as he records in winter and releases in the forthcoming blossom? In March 1984 I was about to finish my involuntary military service and was starting to plan my second try to cycle to India which ended in Cappadocia. Scott Walker only existed in my aural world as member of The Walker Brothers of which I only knew The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. In 1995 I heard bits of Tilt in the CD Buttek in Luxembourg near the Grand Duke's Palace. I couldn't take Walker's mannered voice. Yesterday I listened to The Drift for the first time. Not sure if I can take it this time though I feel that it is huge. About our times but not from our time. The soundtrack to the horror movie we live in. A different kind of rock opera.
