Scott (1967), Scott 2 (1968), Scott 3 (1969), Scott 4 (1970) ... 4 albums or nothing!

Fleeing easy celebrity in Britain triggered by the tidal wave Walker Brothers, Scott left the band in 1967 to go into exile in a monastery. There, he will hear the Gregorian chants will influence (Jacques Brel and Scott discovered at that time) on 4 masterpieces that were to follow.
The 4 jewels will be scattered - it can be said without taking too much risk - the most beautiful times of Brel he can hear as well as many of his own creations. Manic sound, he honed his albums all night, his voice and especially the lush orchestration that accompanies it.
Despite his inimitable crooner voice, Scott Walker universe is that of deceiving the Sinatra (Walker was a fan), but rather that of the losers, the lover dumped by his gentle, near the suicide or the self-harm.
The dark world of this unique artist will give ideas a few years later in Bowie, Nick Cave, David Sylvian, Marc Almond, Radiohead and quite cold wave 90's groups like This Mortal Coil for example.
