The fifth album from this artist from Great Britain.
Robert Wyatt does everything here. Percussion, acoustic guitar, melodica, piano, keyboards and vocals.
This ex Soft Machine member returned again after a long pause. Pause he was using on dealing with his own personal life and some sporadic contributions to other artists albums. Contributions which was pretty different to what we get on this album.
Robert Wyatt became paraplegic back in the 1970s and had to give up his drums, his main instruments. A new career was forged and his first album after the accident, Rock Bottom, is a classic, monumental album.
Robert Wyatt is droning on again on this album. My reference point is some of the acoustic organ based stuff Neil Young did in the 1990s for MTV.
Then again, Robert Wyatt and his music is one of a kind. It is very original and his vocals is very original and eccentric. The music is indeed pastoral and at times very hymns like.
The songs are pretty good and ditto for the album. It is also a pretty fascinating album. Check it out.
