Sealed 1997 US First Pressing (Released In The UK In 1995). An Almost Indescribably Barren And Bleak Masterpiece After A Ten Year Recording Hiatus. Raves In Tracking Angle Magazine. The album showcases Walker's innovative songwriting style and his ability to blend various genres seamlessly. It was Walker's first album in eleven years. He had taken a long break from music after the release of his previous album "Climate of Hunter" in 1984. During this time, he focused on producing music for other artists and also worked as a composer for films and TV shows. "Tilt" was recorded in a small studio in France, where Walker had moved after feeling disillusioned with the music industry in the UK. The album was recorded with a small group of musicians, which included a string quartet, a percussionist, and a guitarist. One of the most striking features of "Tilt" is the use of unconventional instrumentation, which includes industrial noises, animal sounds, and distorted vocals. In fact, Walker's vocals on the album are heavily processed and manipulated to create a haunting effect. "Tilt" was a critical success and received widespread acclaim for its experimental and avant-garde approach to music. The album has been cited as an influence by many contemporary artists, including Radiohead and Bjork.
