Both Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers have earned well deserved time in the spotlight this autumn. So who's next? I vote for
Peter Blegvad. Blegvad is a master song-maker, and even if I do not know all his work, let me recommend these for a starter:
Peter Blegvad: "The Naked Shakespeare" (Virgin 1983)
Peter Blegvad: "Downtime" (ReR/ESD 1989)
Peter Blegvad: "King Strut" (Silvertone 1990)
Slapp Happy/Henry Cow: "Desperate Straights" (Virgin 1975)
Slapp Happy: "Acnalbasac Noom" (ReR 1982, orig. 1980)
Slapp Happy: "Ca Va" (Virgin 1998)
