“The new gold standard for music documentaries.”

Every time you hear Frankie Valli’s 1965 single The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore) (VIDEO), I immediately reach out to the more warm and timeless recorded version of the 1966 Walker Brothers (VIDEO). What stands out in this song is The Walker Brothers comprising distinctive baritone voice of Scott Engel (aka Scott Walker). This unorthodox Walker was the topic of the the 2006 released documentary film: Scott Walker: 30 Century Man. Directed and co-produced by Stephen Kijak (Cinemania) And Ex. Produced by ’…he’s been my idol since I was a kid…" David Bowie. It follows the career path of Walker, which has taken him from 1960s pop icon to 21st century avant-garde musician. It’s a true gem and one of the most fascinating music portraits I have seen since ‘Searching for Sugarman’ last year. Watch for example the performance of “Rosary”, on “Later…With Jools Holland” in 1995 – VIDEO, Scott Walker’s Interview BBC Culture Show 2006 – VIDEO, . “Jackie”, on “Howerd’s Hour”, 1968 – VIDEO, The Walker Brothers, “No Regrets”, 1975 – VIDEO. Time Out London even called it the 13th Greatest Music Film Ever made – (TOP50). In addition to Walker himself, interviewees in the film include David Bowie, Radiohead, Jarvis Cocker, Brian Eno, Damon Albarn, Marc Almond, Alison Goldfrapp, Sting, Dot Allison, Simon Raymonde, Richard Hawley, Rob Ellis, Johnny Marr, Gavin Friday, Lulu, Peter Olliff, Angela Morley (arranger of Walker’s sixties’ recordings as Wally Stott), Ute Lemper, Ed Bicknell, Evan Parker, Hector Zazou, Mo Foster, Phil Sheppard, and Peter Walsh.
