Scott-O -- as in Scott Walker and SunnO)))

would love to hear a Dyson vacuum through an Ampeg stack

ruthless lol

(I am mildly anticipating this)

tbh I didn't really get into Bish Bosch, and I'd rather listen to Climate of Hunter than Tilt. I have super high hopes for this though.

sunn o))) and ulver will be forgotten so soon :(

a) people can be aware of more than one record, b) Sunn O))) and Ulver isn't exactly a weird combination, c) nor is Ulver a pan-generational legend, d) oh, I see you've forgotten the Sunn O))) and Nurse With Wound collaboration already? ;_;

sunned

lol

:)))

ha, I was being knowingly silly there anyway

this may well rule

(fwiw I also have the Sunn O))) & Boris album knocking around)

Always thought Boris should do a version of Carmina Burana, then they could call the project Boris Carl Orff

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

Xp just fp'd u looking for the "like" button

No regrets

There is never a guarantee that anything will be good

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)

What are the best collaborations y'all can think of?

What!? Is this real?

This is amazing and makes way more sense than LuLu

Leaked album details: Scott0))) release to be called Giggly Friendship Fun, a study of all the participants' bronydom.

Is Oren Ambarchi going to be involved in it as well?

I'm also gonna leave this here:

(and listen to it)

The cherry thing! xps

oh yeah that was p gr8

scott w is pretty much my favorite living musician but I've never quite gotten into sunn O))). News of a new scott project is celebration time around here, though. Here's hoping SW is squarely in the driver's seat and that Peter Walsh and Brian Gascoigne are involved as well.

where did people get an inkling this announcement was coming? I'd heard nothing

If they could do something a bit like Alice but with Scott singing, I think I'll die happy.

Jon Lewis - for me it was just a slash fiction dream I had when I put some Drift and Monoliths tracks side by side on a mix tape. Don't think there were any hints.

i.e. http://www.mixcloud.com/doglatin/eadphuk-vol3/

Bamber Gascoigne is involved? That's me on board, then.

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...

HEY EVERYBODY: WE'RE ALL GONNA GET LAID!!!

. I know Scott's long term music supervisor was heavily involved in the session too...

That's Walsh I think? Excellent.

While we wait, what can I listen to that'll get me more excited abt sunn? I haven't checked in w them in a few years.

Collaboration with Ulver is supposed to be v good

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.

edit: from last year

will sound like a year at the dentist's

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.

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.

...if your dentist has the lugubrious pipes of scott walker, sure.

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 thought it was just me who had never really connected with 3.

3 is probably my favorite after 4, and "If You Go Away" is easily in my top 5 Scott songs.

Scott 3 is fantastic! It's Raining Today, Copenhagen, Two Weeks.., If You Go Away. Stone cold classics ppl.

"30 century man" basically invented Julian Cope

Scott 3 is the best of the 60s albums, you guys are completely fucking nuts.

I'm going to play this really loud tonight while I am handing out candy

but it's not raining today.

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).

I always thought I was in a tiny minority thinking Scott 3 was better than Scott 4. But it would appear not!

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.

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.

Rosemary makes me swoon. so beautiful.

Didn't expect this to be so showtuney. I love it!

I keep hearing tracks on the radio that are awesome that turn out to be tracks from this album.

they play this on the radio?

was gonna say.

college radio --- yes.

saw childhood of a leader last night. really good and of course the score helps. is there a thread for it?

Scott Walker joins Sia to soundtrack Natalie Portman film Vox Lux

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/aug/22/scott-walker-joins-sia-to-score-vox-lux-natalie-portman

It dawns on me around this time each year that we'll never hear a new Scott Walker album again. And no doubt we won't get any sort of outtakes or lost recordings gubbins either cos he wasn't that kind of artist. And this is a deep deep shame
