A Jacques Brel song now , Scott Walker - Funereal Tango

From the album Scott 3 (1969)

Scott walker - Rawhide

From the excellent album Tilt (1995) , a Wire nagazone album of the year!

Scott Walker - Clara

Taken from the album The Drift (2006), more experimental and industrial sounding ,and again cited by Wire as one the albums of that year. I really loved this album and the previous recordings including the older Scott 1 , 2, 3, and 4 albums. The later music is more closer to the art songs of German lieder but with industrial noise overtones such as bands like Throbbing Gritstle or Nurse With Wound.

Scott Walker - Corps de Blah

From the album Bish Bosch (2012). Another awesome leftfield album.
