The tenth album from this artist from Great Britain.
Robert Wyatt did the vocals and a bit of trumpet, whistling and percussion.
He had help from numerous guests who added percussion, bass, accordion, strings, woodwinds, keyboards and vocals.
Robert Wyatt gave some of his songs the world music treatment on this one hour long album. Mostly Middle-East and Arabic arrangements of his songs. Arabic and Middle-East music dressed up in a classical music setting. Confusing ?
Robert Wyatt's vocals is still here. But they are not so dominating as on most of his releases.
The music has an old age 1930 classical music sound. Still in some Middle-East and Arabic clothing.
The music is not particular interesting and it fails to resonate with the listener. His version of Lous Armstrong's Beutiful World is rather beautiful. That is the best song here on a rather uninteresting album.
1.5 points
