Finally, Robert Wyatt's "Comicopera" is available, and a lovely package it is. We get 16 tunes and a beautiful cover by Alfreda Benge. You are not going to be satisfied with only mp3-files here. A bunch of the usual suspects are participating: a.o. Phil Manzanera, Paul Weller, Brian Eno, Annie Whitehead and Karen Mantler. David Sinclair (of Wilde Flowers, Caravan and Matching Mole fame) is also visiting.
Playing with recorded voices seem to be the big thing! We had Kevin Ayers playing the "Wyattron" on "Unfairground", and here we have the Enotron, Karenotron (K. Mantler) and Monicatron (M. Vasconcelos)!
This is close to perfect, even if I think the instrumentals are breaking the spell. My hitlist - the first day of listening: Stay Tuned, A.W.O.L., A Beautiful Peace, Be Serious, A Beautiful War, and Del Mondo. Hurray!
