 ... in the form of music then you're half of the way there. The Drift is at times a truly disturbing piece of work which keeps the listener on edge throughout. The Drift took years in making as Walker perfected the music, often building his own "instruments" out of things like punching pork meat or perhaps scraping a metal bin on a large wooden box. Anything to get that perfect sound he wants. The results are well worth it, you can really tell that every second of this record has a purpose, every sound has ...more

Scott Walker is totally out on his own in the musical world, nobody compares to him and once you've listened to this record, you'll understand why. The journey to this record is a strange one as he began his popular musical career with the Walker Brothers, except none of them were called Walker and none of them were brothers, indeed Scott's actual name is Noel Scott Engel.
