The Walker Brothers - Nite Flights (1978)

The Walker Brothers' album Nite Flights is marked by a profound stylistic dichotomy among its members. Breaking a period of creative dormancy, Scott Walker contributed four avant-garde compositions (including "The Electrician" and "Niteflights") influenced by David Bowie and Brian Eno. These tracks, featuring dark electronic soundscapes, redefined Walker's trajectory and significantly impacted the evolution of synth-pop and the New Romantic movement, foreshadowing the future output of Bowie and bands like Ultravox.

Conversely, the contributions from John and Gary Walker remained rooted in traditional styles, such as country balladry. Their material lacked the innovation of Scott's work, resulting in a disjointed record where revolutionary sonic experimentation clashes with weaker, conventional compositions.
