I played it again last week and can confirm that in 2022, Tilt still sounds like the future.

"Bolivia '95" is one of my morning-walk songs.

My favourite Scott albums have been on re-shuffle for a long time, but Tilt has to be the one. I've been reading a lot of Ligotti recently too, so Soused has kind of edged its way up the ranks - I'm not sure if there is a reason I associate Soused with Ligotti, maybe the lyrics of the last track?Til The Band Comes In might be a curate's egg but I prefer the good part of it to even Scott 4 these days. Hugely underrated.Also underrated is Climate of Hunter which is its own vibe and really makes me wish Scott had had more of a chance to flex his muscles in the new wave era.

"Tilt" is far and away the best album he put out in the latter part of his career.

They should just cut the crap and release this as a compilation: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2D03FX9s32oNhy3VxHvE00?si=396c58c17b8f49d4

It should include this b-side from 1972, an outtake from Til The Band Comes In that would have been better than "Prologue" or the covers:

today years old when I learned that Billy Ocean sings on Climate of Hunter
