I always try to talk about Scott but everyone ignores me

He's probably my favorite musician of all time. I seriously can't get over The Drift

>>72904364
same here

>>72904364
>>72904385
I've been planning on listening to him, specifically these albums - Tilt, The Drift, Bish Bosch. Could you elaborate on his style and how does his experimental work compare and differ from Captain Beefheart's for example? Are these albums chaotic? Depressing? Other-worldly?

>>72904501
The way the songs are composed really, he (Scott) sort of described it as just big 'blocks' of sound / percussion, very different from Beefheart as it is nothing like Beefheart's free-jazz chaotic sound, I guess the closest thing I could compare it to is some classical music (early 1900s)

>>72904574
Thank you. Which one of those 3 albums would you recommend for a rainy, cloudy day? And by the way, are his songs similar to the ones on Gentle Giant's Acquiring the Taste? I'm not new to experimental music, but that album left me with the same feeling I had when I first listened to a progressive rock album.

>>72904364
very high concept, long drawn out sounds, often unsettling and unnerving. devastating.

>>72904665
meant to reply to>>72904501

>>72904665
Thank you. It would fit what I described here:
>>72904663
I will get back to you if this thread doesn't die.

>>72901997
Just listened to this. Pretty cool, but very slow-paced the whole time. Are any other records faster? I'm doing Drift now.

IF SHIT WERE MUSIC YOU'D BE A BRASS BAND

>>72904364
Tilt is my choice of that trilogy but all of his stuff is brilliant IMO. His versions of the Brel standards often best the original versions but Scott's talents as a composer on both Scott 3/4 and Climate Of Hunter, Nite Flights, The Drift, etc. is just unparalleled


>>72904501
Sickly and oppressive if you're talking about those three albums

>>72905010
Drift is the slowest of the lot; Bish Bosch has the most instances of "fast" tempos but a lot of the pieces dip in and out of extreme lethargic tempo and upbeat paces. The first four songs off of Nite Flights are relatively faster too

He's incredibly good but not influential. If only because his music fits more of a crossover classical niche than it does something relating to pop music.

I think his early stuff (Scott 1-4) was influential to Bowie though.

overrated by hipsters

>>72906245
I'm glad we got that one out of the way. At least try to be funny next time.

>>72906523
funny cause its true

Scott 3 is a god tier chamber pop record. I need to listen to more of his stuff.

>>72902305
What's a favorite album of yours babe

>>72905155
It's the hardest type of instrument to play.

>>72906538
Give it a rest. You've gotten your (You).

sry i only speak truth.

>>72906960
Provide an argument or at least have the decency to sage when you're shitposting.

Most of his earlier songs are good because of Jacques Brel though

>>72901997
not into his experimental shit but Scott 4 is one of my favourite albums ever.

>>72901997
I really like Climate of Hunter. It sounds like he read about new wave without listening to it and just took a swing at how it sounded in his head. I think Tilt is probably my favorite and I especially love the lyrics.

>>72905191
I liked Hunter better than Drift, at least this time around. Drift was a little droning, but the lyrics and melodies caught my attention more. I can hear sickness and oppression in it. It definitely is unsettling

>>72906967
my argument is you case and point. soon as the word "hipster" appears somebody comes to it

>>72907088
And one person on an anonymous image board is a broad enough representation of every fan of his music? And hipster is a good enough argument? What about his unique and powerful baritone voice and his shift from being a pop star to a 21st-century avant-garde musician? And again, how is that a negative thing? I'm not sure why I'm even going this much in depth, because you clearly didn't give it much thought.

> I'm not sure why I'm even going this much in depth, because you clearly didn't give it much thought.
yeah but the hipster in you has to prove me wrong ;)

>>72906977
who cares armond? this is a rockist complaint

>>72907285
>yeah but the hipster in you has to prove me wrong ;)
And your solution is to conveniently ignore my arguments? Brilliant. But please, at least sage when you're shitposting.

>>72907344
aww don't get mad hipster :(

>>72907354

You can continue if you like.

Preferably with arguments this time. Wishful thinking.

>>72907408
all words are arguments

>>72907392
Just a person with too much free time derailing a potentially non-cancerous thread really.
