Talking of Scott Walker - his new album is due this month - his last was "Tilt" from 1995. Well where have you been man?

The American primitive collection by Harry Smith is highly recommeded - both volumes, and the Ethiopiques series is well worth getting.

Actually i prefer the studio version of "Miserer" by Allegri to the Live Rome version but eaxch to his own.
