The fourth album from this artist from Great Britain.
Robert Wyatt did all the instruments, that is an organ and the vocals himself.
His wife helped out on vocals on one of the songs.
Robert Wyatt is a veteran in the scene from bands like Wylde Flowers, Soft Machine and Matching Moles. Then he went solo and I am again trying to review all his solo albums. A task I commenced after a ten years long break between the second and third album.
Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard was a fine album where he cooperated with other musicians. Old Rottenhat is only his vocals and a droning organ.
Robert Wyatt is in a strange sense and way one of the best vocalists around. His voice is very untraditional. But they are still great.
Put that on the top of an organ who drones out pieces of music which is pretty much non-melodic and is leading nowhere. The result is eclectic.
There is no good pieces of music here and not even the vocals elevates this album up to a higher level than decent.
This is a decent album. It is also one to check out. It has to be heard to be believed.
