Scott Walker – Tilt

This has some audible surface noise and some crackle. Awful inner sleeves. Mastering is great, though. Would have been no need for running in 45 RPM. I assume. You don't get benefits from this at this side lengths. As flimpsy made as a lot of RSD-releases, but soundwise ok.

no surface noise or noticeable problems during quiet moments for me, sounds absolutely phenomenal. would've preferred a gatefold jacket though

Remarkable piece of work - the heart and soul he puts into his music - worth reading the curious life of Scott walker to support understanding of what this man was trying to do.

About as far removed as make it easy on yourself as it could be possibly imagined . As big a loss to music as Bowie. As Lennon .

Like others I’m hearing a very noticeable rumble in the quiet parts, most noticeable between tracks or during the gentle intros. However once each track gets going this master sounds absolutely huge and triumphant and wonderful. I’m not disappointed. Got this on CD when I was 16 after a tutor played us Drift in college and the album changed my silly life. Very happy to have the opportunity to own it on vinyl at a price I can afford. This is an album I have listened to semi regularly for 20 years now and every time is magical.

I’m torn on this one. It has too much intrusive groove rumble in the quiet bits, but the excellent mastering makes this album sound huge, with one of the most immersive stereo listening experiences I’ve ever had.
I’m resigned to buying multiple copies, just like I had to do with the In Rainbows 45rpm double LP.

Records sound good. My copy has some surface noise though. Inner sleeves are really cheap. Outer one looks fragile.

This was the best record, of the Nineties, in my opinion. Totally unique, original and distinctive, unlike anything else, then or now. Like everyone one else in the 90s, I was blasting out Brit Pop and Grunge, I loved that stuff at the time, and still do, however these days I play Tilt, much more than any other record from the Nineties.
It's's timeless and universal, and proved that the old farts of the sixties, could still be innovative and relevant in the modern era, Scott actually did his fellow contemporary artists a favour with this avant-garde masterpiece. I wonder how many of them that he inspired, by not chasing the market, and just sticking to your guns, following your muse, and simply doing what you do best.
It's hard to believe that Tilt it was made, by a big star, of the Sixties. Scott was one of the very few from this era, that did not sell out looking for the big elusive hit in the 80s and 90s, he absolutely refused to play ball with the big record companies who would have required him, to drop his standards to throwaway chart levels. This is not just music, this is art at the very highest, level. All the Influences, of the huge amount of world cinema, that Scott consumed is interwoven, into the music.
Who are you? 21 21 21, I'll give you 21 21 21, I haven't a clue what he's singing about, but my goodness, it's infectious and singable, whilst at the same time adventurous, experimental, and aurally fascinating.
