On, tackles some real garbage material and spins what little gold he can from overwrought arrangements of sub-standard cover material. Really, what possessed the man who wrote 'Plastic Palace People' to cover 's saccharine 'If'? Or how about how the orchestration almost completely overpowers him at the end of 's 'Do I Love You?' Or his affecting a Caribbean patois to match with the tepid pseudo-reggae rhythms of 'Maria Bethania'?

Apr 03, 2016 Welcome to the first post that we decided to dedicate to Scott Walker. 'The Moviegoer' and 'Any Day Now. 'Scott Sings Songs From His T.V. Any Day Now is the eighth studio album by the American solo artist Scott Walker. It was released in May 1973 but failed to chart. ' The Me I Never Knew ' was.

There is not one original composition on display on, and for an artist who is responsible for absolute masterpieces like and to turn in an album of material this lackluster shows both the cruel machinations of the record industry and true contempt for one's fans. For when you come down to it, this album practically screams 'contractual obligation.' This is lazy music that aims to satisfy only the lowest common denominator. At the same time though, possesses one of the few truly great voices, and there are flashes of genius in his singing here. 'When You Get Right Down to It' showcases his voice especially well, his soaring tenor transcending the banality of the lyrics and creating a performance to rival any of his '60s material. His tough-guy affectations on 'Ain't No Sunshine' sound like an influence on ' lunatic-disco cover of 'Night and Day.' This album remains, however, best suited to the hardcore fan, and can be safely passed by for everyone else.

Not the hardest Scott LP to find but there's some great songs on this one and a couple of mediocre ones. The best are the heavily melancholic songs like 'If Ships.' 'All My Love's Laughter' 'Cowboy' 'The Me I Never Knew' and even the more uptempo ones are pretty good 'Do I love You' 'When You Get Right.' Some nice orchestrations on this and as ever it all sounds impeccably immaculate. You could do worse than grab a nice copy of the 'late period' Walker and this one is probably the strongest of his LP's from that period of his career.

Uncles Paradise 2006. Milk Money Rapidshare. The rest aren't really up to this standard.
