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)

I got a heads up on this a few months ago and was sworn to secrecy on pain of death. The couple of things I know. Scott's in the drivers seat but he wrote the material w/ Sunn 0))) in mind. I know Scott's long term music supervisor was heavily involved in the session too...

I personally think that the Ensemble Pearl side project (members of Sunn O))), Boris, and Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter) lp from last was massively underrated, most people seem quite meh about it. I thought it was a masterpiece.

The first track on the Ulver collab is fantastic. The stuff with vocals, not so much. Pretty much anytime they collaborate with a vocalist (who's not Attila), I start yawning. Not particularly looking forward to this record for that reason.
― Humorist (horse) (誤訳侮辱), Wednesday, 2 July 2014 18:57 (nine years ago) link
The Ulver collaboration was fine but a bit on the short side and not the earth-shattering accomplishment that some people were expecting. I like it but it's not amazing.
Atilla's vocals I've mostly gotten used to but a great deal of it is extremely hammy and daft. Walker would be a definite step up.

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)
― I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 31 October 2014 04:40 (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), jueves 30 de octubre de 2014 11:40 (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
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.
― Mark G, Friday, 31 October 2014 11:43 (nine years ago) link
I thought it was just me who had never really connected with 3.
― Matt DC, Friday, 31 October 2014 11:48 (nine years ago) link
3 is probably my favorite after 4, and "If You Go Away" is easily in my top 5 Scott songs.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 31 October 2014 13:44 (nine years ago) link
Scott 3 is fantastic! It's Raining Today, Copenhagen, Two Weeks.., If You Go Away. Stone cold classics ppl.

I have trouble remembering which track was on which album, they all blend together in my memory. Like 4 chapters of the same album. I probably liked the second or third the best (of those four).
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 31 October 2014 14:17 (nine years ago) link
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.
