Best Scott Track on the Walker Brothers' 'Nite Flights'

Funkaholic bass notwithstanding, the secret to “Shut Out” is the double-time hihats.

As a title track voter, I wonder if the secret to its win here is that “The Electrician” is perhaps a smidgeon overly familiar – that it points more directly to his latter period (albeit in a more consonant way) where “Nite Flights” is a bit more of a road less traveled.

The lyrics on 'Shut Out' do that great thing where there's a lot of imagery but it doesn't really fit into a concise narrative. Your mind fills in the gaps. I love 'Something attacked the Earth last night'

Fatima Mansions version of "Nite Flights", far superior to Bowie's:

"Nite Flights" is the best Scott Track.

I think "Den Haague" and "Fury And The Fire" are great. Was very pleasantly surprised the 5-10 tracks weren't bad.

such great sci-fi/horror imagery in 'something attacked the earth last night' and 'how will we know the great doll?'. shades of Thomas Ligotti

realised I've never checked out the other tracks so I'm doing it now. so far Death of Romance isn't terrible

John's tracks are awful, and nothing and no-one will persuade otherwise.

I gave up at Rhythms of Vision

The main riff in "Fury and the Fire" is very Bowie-ish - the song as a whole is not much cop though.

The riff is definitely the best thing. Same with the keyboards in "Den Hague". Everything else about them doesn't spoil those riffs for me (can you call a piano/keyboard part a riff?)

I kinda hate that they so drunk or stoned or stupid they spelled it "Den Haague" tbh.
