Being born in 68' and raised on BBC radio, I loved The Walker Bros and knew who Scott was and had heard some of Scott's solo work. Being just a kid with no money I did'nt buy a copy until 3 years after it was released in one of those clearout sales. I still have the cassatte and have since then got on LP and CD. At the time I remember thinking "This is strange". I want to live abroad for à year and I took it with me and started to really listen. I really did'nt understand it at all but I was really getting into it - the sound of it and the words cast a strong spell. Of course Scott's voice is amazing and was at one of it's peaks which also drew me in. While working in 1990/1991 I can across an article in Hot Press magazine which covered Scott's career from "Take it Easy" to "Scott 4" written by Joe Jackson and suddenly I could put COH into context even if I was not to hear those records for another year as I only had the "Boychild" comp. I traced down those records and of course I was amazed, but yet COH is the record I love the most. It really is "Scott 5" and it is only recently that it has recieved the aclaim that it deserves, in the same way that it wasn't until the mid 90's that "Scott 4" got it's due. I have my own views about what it's about, but long story short it's about Scott finding his way back after the '70's - a rebirth if you will. Without it "Tilt", "The Drift" and "Bish Bosch" might not have happened. Scott you are one of the greats.

For the next Walker post (#10), I'm putting together a great Jacques Brel post comprrised of 2 albums that makes it clear where Walker, Bowie and others found inspiration.

I totally agree with your David Sylvian connection. Many people dislike "Climate of Hunter," but I think its quite underrated, thanks again!voixautrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109534987997144240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601536791094593042.post-81894075594889830402011-02-25T03:33:34.444-08:002011-02-25T03:33:34.444-08:00My God - you can hear the link with David Sylvian....My God - you can hear the link with David Sylvian.
