24 Jan, 2012. The first day of the rest of your life. Also the first time Steve Scott's music has been available on MP3. Also the first day the same 15 tracks made their way out into the world in a limited edition CD. A big beginning for a big year. Sample tracks free at http://www.emotionaltourist.com. Or click the Steve Scott bone at http://www.alivingdog.com. This is the first collection to sample from all of Steve's stuff from the '80s and '90s. Is it a "Best of" collection? Not really, because the best-known songs are represented by alt. versions, and his spoken word over ambient sound loops experimental tracks are also represented. About his music and art, RadRockers.com said:
"British new wave dominates. Alternative classic rock with similarities to David Bowie, Roxy Music, the Police, and the 77s. A brilliant avant garde masterpiece with vocal inflections similar to Lou Reed."
"Steve Scott's expansive, evocative lyrics are supported by music that's alternately rocking and dreamily atmospheric, venturing successfully into exotic stylistic territory. This remarkable collection, drawn from recordings made between 1983 and 1998, makes a persuasive case for Steve Scott's status as a true original." -Scott Shinder.
"Been there, done that, or doing it tomorrow, British poet/ musician Steve Scott plays havoc with the three Ps of oietry, prose, and performance, juxtaposing them in new and exciting ways." -Counter Culture.
"A uniquely gifted musical poet? One thing you cannot do with Steve Scott is categorise him. " -Peter Banks, After the Fire.
