ROBERT WYATT - Rock Bottom (1974)
320
Robert Wyatt is an English musician, and a former member of the influential Canterbury scene band Soft Machine. His 1974 masterpiece Rock Bottom is among the most layered, lovely, and luscious pop records ever as well as a testament to survival. As Wyatt explains in the notes, "The night before the new group was to have its first rehearsal, I fell from a fourth floor window and broke my spine." Produced by Nick Mason, the cream of England's vital prog-rock scene contributed their most subtle, least-wanky efforts for their dear friend's solo recording. Ivor Cutler, Fred Frith, Hugh Hopper, and Mike Oldfield shine alongside ethereal singer/ songwriter/ keyboardist/percussionist Wyatt. The most touching of these playful drone-pop songs appear to detail Wyatt's relationship with his wife/collaborator, Alfreda Benge. "Your lunacy fits neatly with my own," he sings.
Personnel include: Robert Wyatt (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion); Ivor Cutler (vocals, concertina); Mike Oldfield
(guitar); Fred Frith (viola); Gary Windo (bass clarinet, tenor saxophone); Hugh Hopper, Richard Sinclair (bass guitar); Laurie Allan (drums).
