OK, imagine the slower songs of Scott 3 (It's Raining Today, Two Ragged Soldiers) slowed down about by a factor of about three, Scott's voice only able to handle about three notes, the gloom content tunred right up and the orchestra stripped back to occasional stabs and mainly replaced by the sound of pork being slapped and a donkey rhythm section. I think it's just a welcome relief from the consistent awfulness of Tilt that makes me want to give it a chance and not label it as pretentious wank. It's art with a capital errrr...

scot is back, sort of, with an intrumental release on 4ad and live performances with a dance troupe of the work around the country:

quiet possibly more challenging orchestral works but there is always a chance scot will be there and get up and sing 'the sun ain't gonna shine anymore' with the orchestra for a bit of a laugh at the end.

must admit i'm not rushing out for a ticket, but always interested to see what he's up to.
