Flutterby™! : 30 Century Man

Watched Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, about a baritone who achieved pop success as part of a group called The Walker Brothers. Fascinating, it came up on my radar because of a squib describing him as a "genius producer", and the bits of interview they have with David Bowie and Sting fawning over his skill are awesome.

His musical journey has led to albums that are somewhere between prog rock and if Tom Waits had a more traditional voice and a little less concern for conventional song structure. I don't do a whole lot of "sit down and just listen to a single album", which is clearly the direction his artistic path has taken him, but it was kinda fascinating to see someone so clearly driven by their vision and desire to take listeners on a specific sort of emotional journey.
