Hi everyone! Finally got around to hearing Scott Walker's The Drift after hearing a lot about it. Curious to see what the usual suspects (you know who you are!) make of this work. I'm not sure if I 'liked' it, so much as I appreciated the atmosphere and the tension in the piece - particularly when Walker was only using one or two elements. It's a pretty minimalist work if you break it down, but it certainly says a lot with very little - sometimes one drum, strings, and of course, his voice. Dark to the point of almost being comical, even - or maybe I just have a warped sense of humor?
