I always thought Scott Walker walked on the cheesy side of things, but his last two albums, Tilt and Drift, are just right for now.

Samples:
Rosary (Tilt)

I hope you like this freakish disembodied music.

I have 'Boy Child' on my mp3 player, no idea where it came from, but I love it. The notion of what 'dragons of despair' might actually be like gives me much pause for thought.

I haven't heard drift, but ever since I heard 'farmer in the city' from tilt, I've been hooked. it's just amazing how he's moved from the cheesy walker brothers stuff to his crazy modern material. and the lyrics, they don't make any sense to anybody except him, but somehow they still work.

That sums up my reaction. The music even conveys the sense that something important is going on ...
