Wyatt. Robert - Comicopera (2007)

The eight album from this artist from Great Britain.

Robert Wyatt did the main vocals and some cornet, trumpet, piano, keyboards, guitar and percussion. 

He had help from a lot of guests who provided drums, percussion, bass, guitars, woodwinds, keyboards, piano and vocals.

His previous album Cuckooland saw his music stripped down to mostly vocal droning. Seventy-five minutes off that and the result was not a good album.

Robert Wyatt has thankfully added a lot of instruments to the follow up, this one hour long album. The music is singer/songwriter with lots of jazz and avant-garde influences.

There is a lot of jazz instruments here like the woodwinds. There are also some good percussions here.

The album is split into three parts. That does not really make any difference as the quality of the songs leaves a lot to be desired.

The result is only a marginal improvement on the previous album. Nevertheless, it is still an album well worth checking out as the album is never dull or boring.
