RARE ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF THIS ALBUM WERE RELEASED - (SCOTT) WALKER BROTHERS - NITE FLIGHTS - VINYL UK LP FIRST PRESSING STEREO GTO RECORDS LONDON IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE. FEATURING TRACK : THE ELECTRICIAN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SOUND FROM THE EARLY WALKER BROTHERS ALBUMS -THE 4 SCOTT TRACKS BEING WORTH THE PRICE OF THIS RARE ALBUM. REVIEW KILLINMOONMUSIC BLOG After two lackluster "comeback" albums, the band was contractually required to deliver a third; however, the record label to which they owed the recording was on the verge of folding, thus creating an artistic "perfect storm" in which Scott Walker's genius was to re-awaken after eight long years of ceaseless slumber. In relation to its two predecessors,Nite Flights (at least Scott's part) is a spectacular artistic whiplash of an album that not only laid the groundwork for Scott Walker's still-continuing intermittent forays into unexplored regions of musical dissonance, but also played a major role in funneling Kraut-Rock and experimental electronic music into the UK music scene, and in the process, heavily influencing the fledgling Post-Punk movement. While Scott only contributes four songs to Nite Flights, they are all stunners, but none more so than "The Electrician." It is clear that Scott had been listening to David Bowie's work with Brian Eno, but he uses this only as a port of entry, after which he takes the song into regions entirely unknown. Grand, epic, lush and terrifying, "The Electrician" is one of the great avant-garde rock songs of the seventies UK STEREO GTO label: GTLP033. Matrix GTLP 033 A-7 / GTLP 033 B6.( 1ST PRESS).
