I can't believe The Drift came out SIX YEARS AGO
Also lol at "I wonder if this is your first sb."

There were some photos from the sessions a few months ago. Totally beyond excited. I don't think it will be all that long from here. Scott seems to take years and years in the gestation of what he wants to do, but not an unusually long time once he starts to execute it.

"Last night at a 4AD event in New York City, the label played one new song, which does not appear to have a title yet. The epically unpredictable suite featured an album's worth of ideas as it went from pummeling drum rhythms to near-a cappella crooning. Its overall effect was unsettling, daunting, thrilling."

Taking advantage of WI recall fallout?
That said, the senator makes me so mad I'll probably end up reflexively passing on this.
― Hennesy Williams (EDB), Friday, 22 June 2012 21:36 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it would be an opportune time to switch back to Noel Scott Engel!

Yeah right? He's the only one of my big heroes who is still likely to blow me away with new stuff. In all honesty I probably still think about the 'sound world' of Tilt every single day at some point, even though I almost never play it. It's like the dining room table in my memory house.

oh huh, seemingly so. it was a list of records released as review copies to a magazine, organised by artist & including Scott Walker. some speculation on the twitter account i linked about what it might be now

And according to this there will be a music video soon!!
Bish Bosch is one hell of a title, almost too perfect a summation of late era Walker. I had the same feeling when Nick Cave announced his new album would be called Nocturama.

Just reading about the song 'Only Myself to Blame' that Scott did for 'The World is Not Enough' Bond film. Poor decison by the director...
Arnold broke tradition by not ending the film with a new song or a reprise of the opening theme. Originally, Arnold intended to use the song "Only Myself to Blame", written by David Arnold & Don Black and sung by Scott Walker and inspired by the failed romance between Bond and Elektra King, who turns out to be a a villain. However, director Michael Apted "felt it it was too much of a downer for the end of the movie" and Arnold replaced it with a techno remix of the "James Bond Theme". "Only Myself to Blame", is the nineteenth and final track on the album

Does anybody know if the cd version of the 1st 5lps box set was a limited edition. I can't see it being sold reasonably cheaply anywhere suddenly. I had been putting off buying t thinking it was going to be around for a while.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 6 October 2013 22:06 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, it's not even on ebay.
― Mark G, Monday, 7 October 2013 09:56 (ten years ago) link
Or on Discogs, even. Weird.
― my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Monday, 7 October 2013 11:28 (ten years ago) link
i almost bought that but couldn't justify it just for the pola x stuff (but should've, that pola x stuff is good)
― REDACTED got your back (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 7 October 2013 13:10 (ten years ago) link
they're not talking about the 5 easy pieces box, they're talking about the recent reissue/remaster of the first five solo albums. But yeah, you should've shelled out for pola x and also for the 2 ute lemper songs, which are incredible. as good as anything on the later albums imo

There's a copy on Amazon for 80 quid if you're desperate.
