I discovered the beauty and power of the Walkers via a compilation of british rock acts.Well,I investigated further and heard their 60s output.I read they reformed in 1976 and put out 3 spotty records,then ended 1978.Well,here's a great CD that covers those years very well.Most of the CD is in the easy-listening/country pop vein and is very melodic and emotional.The latter part is in a more british pop(ie:Bowie)style and features a Brian Eno type soundscape("The electrician") with a spooky vocal approach by Scott.I love it.This CD also features unreleased songs from all 3 albums.Fantastic album,but folks who buy it should be familiar with Scott's solo work from the late 60s to early 70s.

I bought this to get the last of Scott Walkers out put from the 1970's in my collection and tracks 16 through 18 do so with Scotts input to the Walker Brothers album Nite Flights. It also contains some obscurities from that period of the Bros. career. Well worth the price (less that $10 including shipping) for the volume.

You got an overview on their 70's albums. So before you throw it away listen to the Nite Flights songs. There's no bigger difference I ever heard between two albums. You'll go to hell.
