Robert Wyatt – 1982-1984 [USED LP] Contemporary / Classical / Modern Composition anchored by percussionist Robbie Yeats

anchored by percussionist Robbie Yeats and punctuated by the atonal bursts of writer and Corpus Hermeticum label boss Bruce Russell (also known for his solo work as A Handful of Dust)

But it’s not all gloom

and at other moments suggesting the slow-moving grandeur of early Olivia Block

while in ‘See Ya Later’ melodic elements appear to be continually receding into the distance with synths so saturated by tape decay that they sound like memories of orchestral brass

Robert Wyatt – 1982-1984 [USED LP] Contemporary / Classical / Modern Composition anchored by percussionist Robbie Yeatsoddball miscellanies from the brilliant in between period: a bunch of originals plus some covers (thelonious monk, a couple of spanish songs & a properly mesmerising peter gabriel track). hits galore. Rough Trade, 1984
