The Official UK Theatrical trailer is HERE!

“…current top ten” etc.

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

Well, the ironic “You could easily picture this/in the current top ten” line from “Cossacks Are” (lead track on Scott’s “The Drift” for the two or three of you out there who haven’t picked it up yet) has proved strangely prophetic, as it turns out, “The Drift” is all over the current crop of year-end “Best of” lists. A sampling below, courtesy of Sonya at Beggars/4AD in NYC…

Pitchforkmedia.com – “Jesse” in top 25 videos of the year
Pitchforkmedia.com - #10 album of the year
Pitchforkmedia.com – “A Lover Loves” included in their top 100 tracks of 2006”
The Onion/AV Club - #20 in overall albums of the year
The Onion/Andy Battaglia - #5 in critic’s top 10 list
The Onion/Aaron Burgess - #6 in critic’s top 10 list
The Onion/Sean O’Neal - #12 in critic’s top 15 list
New York Magazine – included favorably in “Best and Worst of 2006” piece
Decibel - # 29 in top 40 albums of 2006
#25 in UNCUT’s “Definitive Albums of 2006″
AllMusic.com even rates it as one of the TOP METAL ALBUMS of the year, and rightly so!
It was DUSTED’s #1 pick for the year.
It ranked twice in the Montreal Gazette’s year-end roundup.
And some chap named Tim ranked it his #1 pick of the year in the category: “Oh my god, this is absolutely the best album of the year holy crap”

Scott auf Schirm.

Panorama

“Scott on Screen” auf Deutsch for the German-impaired. Very, very happy to announce that “Scott Walker - 30 Century Man” has been invited to the 57th Berlin International Film Festival.

Very recent news, I probably shouldn’t be blogging it, but more details will be posted as they come available. Festival runs Feb 8-18, 2007.

This is an extra-special treat as my last film “Cinemania” was made in collaboration with a German filmmaker (and lots of German funds) so I have a real soft-spot for Germany, Berlin in particular. So, vielen Dank!
