Robert Wyatt - Alifib

Rock Bottom, Robert Wyatt (1974)

"His private persona erupted on Rock Bottom (1974), one of rock music's supreme masterpieces, a veritable transfiguration of both rock and jazz. Its pieces straddle the unlikely border between an intense religious hymn and a childish nursery rhyme. Along that imaginary line, Wyatt carved a deep trench of emotional outpouring, where happiness, sorrow, faith and resignation found a metaphysical unity. The astounding originality of that masterpiece, and its well-crafted flow of consciousness, were never matched by Wyatt's later releases." -Piero Scaruffi on Rock Bottom

Absolutely charming. I wish everyone, sooner or later, understand that this is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking songs ever recorded.

2 personnes ont du temps à perdre pour dire qu'elles n'aiment pas. Je comprends qu'on n'aime pas, mais pourquoi le dire ? Je ne vais pas voir les vidéos de lady gaga ou de Coldplay pour donner un avis négatif

[jcast18k]

the bass line reminds me of in a silent way.

[jasonpp1973]

What beautiful bass playing by the late Hugh Hopper, some of his best work IMO.

He's actually playing two different bass lines, ah the art of overdubbling!

Robert Wyatt is stranger than Richard Sinclair.
