Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Scott Walker's pace is slow in such a way that it makes each record by one of them a de facto comeback. O.K., the complaint about the regularity is no longer true for Scott Walker, because he is currently speeding up his work. No, he's not going to the realm of Bill Nelson, how that guy manages to do that much is a mystery, but the pauses between his LPs are not as large as they used to be. Then again, it could be that all his discs from The Drift on crystallized his sound, which could be described as, hm, yeah, uh, classical operatic industrial? Yes, even when we know what we are dealing with, it's hard to elucidate his idiom, it defies any sort of definition. However, one can notice he strives for a completely dynamic music, you can never be sure where he intends to take it. There is a sense his compositions inhabit the place that is neither assonant not dissonant, since it is suspended between the two.
