Been listening to Scott 4 by Scott Walker this week, and certainly the first track `The Seventh Seal` seems to be a reference point for a few songs on `Beehive`. Most notably the `chess` infused trax, Mother & Child and When Poets Dreamed Of Angels.
Knowing that the two of them collaborated, tho briefly,in the mid 80s, do you think Scott Walker is a big influence on Sylvian.
They certainly both share an uncomprimising approach to their work.
Interestingly, Scott Walker is directing some of his own shows at The Barbican Theatre in London, during November. Called `Tilting & Drifting`these live performances will NOT feature Scott Walker performing, but will feature guest vocalists to sing alongside Scott Walkers band.
Wonder if Sylvian will be a guest vocalist ??
On the off chance, i got two front row seats, so fingers crossed.
