Scott 4 - Your Kingdom To Dust CD Single

I think I first heard this on John Peel (I could be wrong) but I went straight out and purchased a copy, and ever since it's been floating in and out of my playlists, and now its back again. Their biography on Amazon labels them as Electronic Cowpunks and you will see why when you listen to both sides of this single and even more when you try some of their albums.

Scott 4 must be another one of those bands that regretted the name of their band, especially after considering its the same name as Scott Walkers album "Scott 4". So if you Google them all you see is Scott Walker (not that that's a bad thing), so I guess that explains why in 2005 they renamed themselves to "Scott 4 Free Rock Orchestra".

Only two tracks here, first up is "Your Kingdom To Dust" and it's easily the standout track. The b-side "You Set The Scene" is an instrumental that lasts for a mighty 23:15 minutes, and to me, sounds like it should be the soundtrack to a film (what do you think?). Amazingly for such a long track it's very listenable, and after all these years I still haven't grown bored of it.

So try it out and see what you think.
