Very scary album sometimes.
I always listen to it in this order:
1. Cossacks Are, 2. Jesse, 3. Clara, 4. Cue, 5. Jolson And Jones, 6. Buzzers
and then the others. It is like a horror story I imagine, and for me this song order fits better because of the tension it creates.
It's like a haunted mansion where Scott Walker lives as a mass murder and you must not let him find you while you find a way to escape.
"Cossacks Are" is when you arrive there and there's a warning sign. Then "Jesse" where Scott sings "I'm the only one left alive" (means he murdered the guy who was in the mansion with you and now you are alone).
The part that really frightened me the most was the saxophone part in Jolson And Jones when it sounds like Scott violently murders a donkey. Even after many listens I still can't listen to that part loud.
There also are many bizarre sounds, like in "The Escape", in the last minute where it sounds like an evil Donald Duck!
Also I'm looking forward to listening to it again this evening.

It still is scary and startling. I listened it again an hour ago in my own track order. I still can't listen to the donkey part in Jolson And Jones (and scott sings the scary line "But the fair seniorita doesn't seem to care").
I always have to take my earphones out. That part is too much for me. I wish I can get over my fear.

the Shhh stops on A Lover Loves are forever the most absurd and yet perfect thing put on a record like this..

I can only imagine how cooped up and anxious he was dreaming all this strange shit while crooning with the Walker Brothers..

The Electrician was his break out moment..

In terms of the shift in ambition, perhaps, but go back to "Plastic Palace People," and you can see he was more than able to break out of the baroque pop/lounge mold if he desired.

true, he snuck in plenty of off kilter goodness before finally striking out..
Frippy, we’ll always have Walker and Sylvian..
also, I downloaded a live concert called Greasy Truckers, it’s Camel, Henry Cow and two other proggers having a live wig out.. haven’t checked it yet, but if good, a review is a-coming..

Greasy Truckers is a great old LP-era compilation, have at it
have a go at the Glastonbury comp as well, has an alternate version of Bowie's "The Supermen"
