 rambling man ! December 11, 2007
3 out of 11 found this review helpful
Much as I like Robert Wyatt as a man for his political beliefs and struggle to overcome adversity his music oevre leaves me somewhat underwhelmed.
The lispy..or should that be lithpy weak warbling voice takes some getting used to but despite the impressive production team behind him,the whole edifice is like an allotment shed rather than the substantial house of music it should be. Rambling,discordant,fractured and forever going down blind alleys.
My downloaded album was filed in the bin after a few takes because I knew I'd never listen to it again and I couldn't think of anyone I knew who would appreciate it.
Cruel I know but appropriate in the circumstances.
 Totally Original October 23, 2007

I'm unable to classify Robert Wyatt - it's jazzy, poppy, mellow and all sung with those wonderful vocals. With contributions from first class musicians like Brian Eno & Gilad Atzmon, the music floats and shimmers, but never gets dull and never gets repetitive. The sparse lyrics are intruiging.
A true original.

Bit of a parson's egg this I think. Here and there some inventive and original lyrics; a voice that ranges from bland and incomprehesible to occasionally rich and subtle; moments of surprising and engaging musicality and much endless tedious meandering. I didn't hate it - but it won't be making very frequent excursions out of the CD cabinet, I'm afraid. I have always liked the "idea" of Robert Wyatt a lot more than the actual stuff he produces.
 a masterpiece miles away from the mainstream October 8, 2007

As a journalist, I've got my promo copy weeks ago, but this album of the wonderful eccentric man form North England became, within hours, my album of the year 2007. It is full of wonderful melodies, surprising changes, dream-like jazz elements (never polished, always raw)! What some may call whimsical or weird, is just another fabulous achievement of Robert Wyatt, mixing melancolia, humour, politics and private life in an absolute unique way. The contributions of his soul mates Gilad Atzmod and Brian Eno add to the special wonders this music is constantly offering. A future classic! In germany this record got great reviews all over the place, but such brilliance will never find its way into the Top 10. Sorry for that.
the one thing you can really be sure with a new wyatt album is it's going to be great October 6, 2007

and this is no exception! i was sad to see that some-one had posted a 3-star review before it's been released, so i thought i'd write telling people not to panic
i'm listening to this album as i write, and it's nearly over and i can honestly say it's been very enjoyable. any-one who's listened to robert's music will know it quite hard to talk about as the music is so original and different...but you should certainly expect the unexpected, as with most wyatt albums!
To get to the point thought, certainly an album worth buying if your a robert wyatt fan, a welcome refreshment to the commercial annoyance's i'm used to hearing when i turn on the radio!
