Product Description
Biopic of one of pop music's least well known yet greatest influences. Scott Walker's body of work has influenced a greater number of (especially British) indie pop musicians than almost any other single figure yet his name remains largely unknown to the public. What, then, does his influence consist of? This handsome blonde American boy first found success with the Walker Brothers in 1964 - far greater success in the UK than at home in the US. As a solo act, Walker has always been a record company nightmare - commercially unviable yet critically highly lauded. As his genius as a studio master and composer has become manifest he has become steadily more obscure with each album yet other artists have always loved him. Here, a parade of modern pop artists line up to pay tribute to the man's influence on their careers including David Bowie, Johnny Marr, Marc Almond, Radiohead, Jarvis Cocker and Brian Eno.

Scott Walker - 30 Century Man [DVD] [2007]
In my younger days Scott Walker was my idol, I was hesitant about buying this DVD as I thought it might be better to remember him as he was. I decided to order it and put it in my basked and saved till later in case I changed my mind, I finally ordered it but delayed watching it for the same reasons as above.
I was pleasantly surprised when I did watch it, it will be something that I am going to have to watch over and over again although I don't really understand or like his later work I admire him for what he is doing and found it fascinating.

Always good to get information on Scott Walker.
Always good to find that others also hold the work in high regard. The best source of information and so good to see the studio footage. For the novice and for the initiate!

I bought this Disk for my wife as she was into the Walker Brothers. But from watching it I feel it's not that good and was a waste of money. But having said that it was an old documentary.
