Singleversity #29

Audiversity’s weekly column, slightly modified, on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 53.

I mentioned in a review earlier this week that I was currently obsessed with vocalists, one in particular being Scott Walker. "It's Raining Today' from Scott 3 (Fontana 1969) is near the heart of this addiction. The superimposition of Walker’s elegant tenor over the unnerving Hermann-esque strings is that of foreshadowed ingenuity.

Never forget where you came from, kid. Columbia's Kurse Go Back haven't. Their roots in everything from Far Eastern sounds to 60s funk to marching band practice coagulate under one roof for the video "Take 'M' on Train 'X'." Though voting has closed, the cerebral music will last long beyond a Famecast contest.
