These 4 parts are some of the best Scott interviews I’ve ever heard.It’s also fascinating hearing the difference between 80’s Scott and 2010’s Scott

This is a great interview. Climate of hunter is My fav of all his albums - it's really Scott 5. He had to prove to himself that he could make a better LP than Scott 4 - and he did. Having got past that huge hurdle he proceeded to push forward what he started with Nite Flights. The results speak for them selves. He is still away ahead of the game. His infuence will reach far into the future. The fact that he is a private man who hated fame for fame's sake was rare in the '60's and even more so today. What is also inspiring is that for him, living his life has always come first and he gets to express what he see's that is both funny and insane into his art. Love him.

Thanks for watching! It is a very rare and unusual Scott interview and possibly his most revealing. He had been living as a reclusive for 6 years before this and was very media rusty (check him out of 'The Tube' around the same time!). To me he sounds slightly drunk or very hungover i.e. quite off-guard. In the description I've put a link to a German book by the interviewer which gives background info. Use google translate for a gist.

So great to hear him being asked about the influence of astrology, and then he went and made Clara.

Dunno what to make of it really

[@dixgun]

Cool perspective Have to get rid of all that stuff (like sentimentality) and take a broader view

[@MorbidsoSorbid]

Yes, most likely as Scott was an only child.
