I'd go with Rickenbacker's advice on this one. Brilliant as the Drift is, it's no starting point. Get hold of all his first four solo albums, set a day aside and listen to them all one after the other - they're all around the half-hour mark when it comes to running time, so it won't be that time-consuming.
Another good gateway into Walker's later, avante-garde stuff is the last ever Walker Brothers album Nite Flights. The first four tracks were written by Scott, and they really are quite something. The rest of the album's rubbish, but it's worth it for those first four songs.
