Matt Monroe, Andy Williams, Tony Bennett and Frank, Scott had the tonsils but he really wanted to sing about his next case of gonorrhoea ('Next'), the humdrum grind of the 9-5 life ('The amorous Humphrey Plug'), playing chess with Death ('The seventh seal') or a masochistic relationship seen through the eyes of the tortured, my favourite, 'The Electrician'. In the 90's he really went out there channelling Ligeti, Stockhausen, early Swans and Throbbing Gristle producing I think his two masterpieces (if you like that sort of thing?), 'Tilt' and 'The Drift'. I couldn't always stay the distance of his ambitious soundscapes, but you've got to love his audacity and his vision. thank you Scott.<br /> - S.R.CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-84864198707348133452019-03-26T18:33:32.402+00:002019-03-26T18:33:32.402+00:00What a crappy few weeks it's been.
