Totally. And it seems quite 'logical' for this to be Scott Walker's next venture. He's so far ahea, what else could he be doing except break another musical barrier?

my note of caution would be, that although these are both exceptional artistic institutions, there is no guarantee that their combination will produce work with a coherence of vision & expression that outdoes their original enterprises
countering this, however, is Sunn O)))'s brilliant history of collaborations (KTL added to the above), and the sheer intrigue factor in how it'll turn out
on balance, I'm excited, although I'm not yet expecting the greatest art-music of our age

Yes, but I'm saying that with two contrasting visions in combination, it could be awkward, although this is countered by Sunn O)))'s record with these things (usually taking a compositional back seat AFAICT, but adding brilliantly to the overall sonic miasma)

Much as I appreciate this new one, it's sent me back to listening to Bish Bosch (lol, as if I ever stopped) and I'm starting to think it's testament to how great that last album was that this new one is getting so much good attention. I really think stuff like Zercon and Epizootics are his absolute peak.

― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 30 October 2014 11:35 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, this definitely happens. I know this is probably a challops, but I see Scott 3 as the weak link in the quadrilogy. Sometimes wonder if the lack of punchier, wittier songs in favour of sleepier, more ponderous efforts are responsible for Scott 4 selling so badly. Was it his perceived 'New Jersey' at the time?
― Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Thursday, 30 October 2014 11:40 (nine years ago) link
I don't think so, "Songs from his TV series" still made the charts.
My theory has always been that he was releasing too many albums in too short a time (Scott 3, TV series, Scott 4 all in 1969)
― Mark G, Thursday, 30 October 2014 11:45 (nine years ago) link

Yes, though too much may have been made of that, seeing as the cover is a huge picture of him and the words "SCOTT 4". It clearly wasn't the new Englebert Humperdinck record.

Wasn't it pretty normal for acts to release up to 3 records in a year back then? Or was 'product demand' slowing down by the late sixties? I know the Beach Boys were expected to deliver tonnes of stuff all the time, hence all the filler albums.
― Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Thursday, 30 October 2014 12:10 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, but check the album charts for the Beach Boys, see how many charted. Also, that was 1962 or thereabouts.

That new video is amazing
http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2014/02/catherine-robbe-grillet-french-dominatrix#
In her recent biographical book Alain, she writes that while finding the Sadean theater outlined—along with the offer of being remunerated—“rather agreeable,” she was disappointed in an imperfect master who deigned to offer “mercy” to his “victim.” “The very notion of a contract ran contrary to my erotic fantasy wherein the Master, once elected, requires no permission whatsoever from the woman who has agreed to submit herself to him.”
And so we arrive at the heart of the matter: Robbe-Grillet’s “little girl” wife was, it appears, a dominant from the start, from her first sneer at the nuns, at Catholicism (she is not a believer), at convention, from her keeping of multiple simultaneous lovers, and now here with her grand seigneur.
So, I ask Madame, how can you tell who is really the submissive and who is really the dominant in any given relationship? Appearances are so often deceptive. Her answer cuts to the quick. “The one whose need is the greatest is the submissive.”
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 30 October 2014 19:26 (nine years ago) link
i think product definitely was slowing in late 60s at least in the world of pop and rock. even beach boys were down to 1 or 2 new LPs per year by 68/69. (though their greatest hits packages were the ones that charted in that era)

Scott 3 is definitely the least likeable in the quadrilogy. Maybe people were indeed so bored by it that they punished Scott 4 in return.
― Moka, Friday, 31 October 2014 09:07 (nine years ago) link
Really?
Other peopl reckon Scott 3 is better than 4. Possibly because they got too used to 4, and 3 is much like it.
I don't think "Till the band come in" is that bad anyway.

I always thought I was in a tiny minority thinking Scott 3 was better than Scott 4. But it would appear not!
― Doran, Friday, 31 October 2014 14:24 (nine years ago) link
Hey hey hey! Don't get me wrong, I actually think Scott 3 and Scott 4 are the best ones but people coming from the first two might have found it too melancholic. There was also a lot happening musically at the end of the 60's so maybe people just lost interest in his style. A couple of more 'groovy' songs like '30 century man' might have been easier to sell.
― Moka, Friday, 31 October 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link
I always preferred the French version of 'If you go Away'. The acoustic jangle of 30th Century Man always stuck out. Sounds more like a Dylan song that somehow snuck in there. A lot of the rest drifts by unremarkably for me.
But I do like 'Sons of' and I also love 'It's Raining Today' though. The quintessential 'Scott' ballad.
