1	Comicopera (2007) more music like this by Robert Wyatt More immediately accessible and warm than Cuckooland, more ambitious than Shleep, Comicopera, in three acts, is the end result of Robert Wyatt looking around and examining the craziness and wild unpredictability in real life in 2007. Knowing one man's opinion of things hardly matters, he brings together musicians from Israel, Spain, England, ... see all copies from $13.81! new only from $13.81!
2	Rock Bottom (1974) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Rock Bottom, recorded with a star-studded cast of Canterbury musicians, has been deservedly acclaimed as one of the finest art rock albums. Several forces surrounding Wyatt's life helped shape its outcome. First, it was recorded after the former Soft Machine drummer and singer fell out of a five-story window and broke his spine. Legend had it that ... see all copies from $12.43! new only from $16.81!
3	Third [Remastered/Bonus CD] (1970) more music like this by Soft Machine Soft Machine plunged deeper into jazz and contemporary electronic music on this pivotal release, which incited The Village Voice to call it a milestone achievement when it was released. The original vinyl release was a double album of stunning music, with each side devoted to one composition -- two by Mike Ratledge, and one each by Hugh Hopper and ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $10.82!
4	Fourth (1971) more music like this by Soft Machine The Soft Machine's collective skill is hyper-complex and refined, as they are extremely literate in all fields of musical study. Fourth is the band's free purging of all of that knowledge, woven into noisy, smoky structures of sound. Their arcane rhythms have a stop-and-go mentality of their own that sounds incredibly fresh even though it is ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $10.82!
5	Steve Nieve: Welcome to the Voice (2007) more music like this by Amanda Roocroft (vocals), Antoine Quessada (cymbals), Barbara Bonney (vocals), Brodsky Quartet, Elvis Costello (Declan MacManus) (vocals), Marc Ribot (guitar), Nathalie Manfrino (vocals), Ned Rothenberg (flute), Ned Rothenberg (saxophone) Welcome to the Voice is a short opera for voices, string quartet, keyboards, guitars, symbols, and one wind player who adds accents on instruments ranging from a clarinet to a shakuhachi. The music is by longtime Elvis Costello keyboardist and collaborator Steve Nieve, to a libretto by his creative and personal partner, Muriel Teodori, and the ... see all copies from $14.75! new only from $14.75!
6	Theatre Royal Drury Lane (2005) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Recorded on September 8, 1974, this set features Robert Wyatt (post-accident) with a slew of mates, including Ivor Cutler! Introduced by John Peel and recorded by the BBC -- only a little over half the concert survives -- this is a wild, freewheeling document featuring Wyatt, Cutler, and Julie Tippetts on vocals; Dave Stewart and Tippetts on ... see all copies from $13.17! new only from $15.98!
7	March (2002) more music like this by Matching Mole March is the second live Matching Mole set issued by Cuneiform about 30 years after the event, following 2001's Smoke Signals. The good news is that this disc, taken from a European concert from March 1972, has a track lineup different enough from Smoke Signals to make it worthwhile for Matching Mole fans. That's particularly so since the sound ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
8	Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard (1975) more music like this by Robert Wyatt There was no way that Wyatt's follow-up to Rock Bottom could be as personal and searching, but this album that came barely a year later instead collects some earlier material to be revamped for this release. "Soup Song," for instance, is a rewrite of "Slow Walkin' Talk," written before the forming of Soft Machine. "Team Spirit," written with Phil ... see all copies from $12.07! new only from $12.07!
9	Cuckooland (2003) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Robert Wyatt's first full-length of new material since 1997's Shleep is no less mischievous, witty, and poignant. As has become his custom, Wyatt offers a set of 16 new songs seemingly composed for a wide array of musicians including Annie Whitehead, Eno, David Gilmour, Tomo Hayakawa, Karen Mantler, Phil Manzanera, Paul Weller, and others he ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
10	Old Rottenhat (1985) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Wyatt has been quoted as declaring that this record was "a conscious attempt to make un-misusable music," i.e., music that couldn't be appropriated by the Right or broadcast on Voice of America. VOA doesn't broadcast uncommercial music such as this in any case, but Wyatt did succeed in stating some of his political concerns -- imperialism, the ... see all copies from $14.75! new only from $14.75!
11 view cover	Third (1970) more music like this by Soft Machine The Soft Machine plunged deeper into jazz and contemporary electronic music on this pivotal release, which incited the Village Voice to call it a milestone achievement when it was released. It's a double album of stunning music, with each side devoted to one composition -- two by Mike Ratledge, and one each by Hopper and Wyatt, with substantial ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
12 view cover	Dondestan (1991) more music like this by Robert Wyatt For half of these songs, Wyatt put music to the poetry of his wife Alfreda Benge; he wrote both words and music for the remainder (with the exception of "Lisp Service," whose music was written by ex-Soft Machine bassist Hugh Hopper). Roughly speaking, the collaborations with Benge are more abstract, and the other compositions more politically ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $21.56!
13 view cover	Coulais: Stabat Mater (2005) more music like this by Aïcha Redouane (chant), Bruno Coulais (vocals), Christophe Guiot (violin), Claire Désert (harpsichord), Claire Désert (piano), Elisabeth Pallas (violin), Francoise Gneri (viola), Guillaume Depardieu (chant), Jean-Philipp Audin (cello) see all copies from $15.14! new only from $15.14!
14 view cover	Matching Mole (1972) more music like this by Matching Mole The opening track, "O Caroline," is indicative of Wyatt at his best: art rock with a human face, a playful vocal, and soul. Much of the record is instrumental improvisation, though, with the humor largely confined to the song titles ("Instant Pussy," "Dedicated to Hugh, But You Weren't Listening"). For every nifty passage (the extended melancholy ... see all copies from $12.31! new only from $12.31!
15 view cover	Dondestan (Revisited) (1998) more music like this by Robert Wyatt The original issue of Dondestan, one of Robert Wyatt's later, signature recordings, ran over budget, prompting him to release the album without an authoritative final mix. Wyatt, unlike many of the artists of his era, has often been in the unenviable position of having the original unmixed tapes of his records either disappear or get erased. ... see all copies from $15.27! new only from $15.59!
16 view cover	Shleep (1997) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Robert Wyatt continues to follow his singular musical path with the lovely Shleep, delivering another album of considerable quirky charm and understated beauty; a less melancholy affair than much of his recent work, the record is informed by a hazy, dreamlike quality perfectly in keeping with the elements of subconsciousness implicit in the title. ... see all copies from $15.35!
17 view cover	His Greatest Misses (2004) more music like this by Robert Wyatt The title of this 17-track Robert Wyatt compilation -- previously released only in Japan -- references his lack of commercial success while taking great care to showcase both his ambitious vision and diversity as an artist. Most of what is here is readily familiar to fans, from his fine if strangely arcane versions of "I'm a Believer" and ... see all copies from $17.01! new only from $17.17!
18 view cover	Grides (2006) more music like this by Soft Machine Cuneiform can always be counted on to unearth some gems from the late-'60s and early-'70s Soft Machine live concert archives, but with the 2006 CD/DVD release Grides the label might have outdone itself. The audio CD features keyboardist Mike Ratledge, bassist Hugh Hopper, saxophonist Elton Dean, and drummer Robert Wyatt performing material mainly ... see all copies from $20.72! new only from $20.72!
19 view cover	Spaced (1996) more music like this by Soft Machine In 1969, the Soft Machine were commissioned to provide music for a multimedia show at the Roundhouse in London. As Hugh Hopper writes in the liner notes, "they wanted a backing tape of suitably deranged and doomy sounds," and the group (augmented in parts by saxophonist Brian Hopper) delivered suitably abstract music that was high on ... see all copies from $15.27! new only from $15.27!
20 view cover	Backwards (2002) more music like this by Soft Machine Albums of archival material by Soft Machine abound, especially when it comes to the era surrounding the group's Third and Fourth albums (1970-1971). While some of these documents hold interest for casual fans (Virtually and Noisette, both good-sounding live sets), Backwards will appeal only to the die-hard Soft head. Culled here are recordings ... see all copies from $15.63! new only from $15.63!
21 view cover	Solar Flares Burn for You (2003) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Coinciding almost concurrently with the issue of Cuckooland, an entirely new studio recording by composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Robert Wyatt on Hannibal, Solar Flares Burn For You is a welcome "other-dimension." This is not a repackaging of material that has been released countless times before. While certain tracks, such as the title ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $14.75!
22 view cover	Man in a Deaf Corner: Anthology 1963-1970 (2001) more music like this by Soft Machine The subtitle of this double-CD compilation might lead you to believe that this is a retrospective or best-of covering the band's finest era. That is not the case; in fact it's a ragtag quilt of live performances, including nothing from any of the studio recordings that the musicians made during this period. Disc one will be of most interest to ... see all copies from $13.82! new only from $13.82!
23 view cover	Virtually (1998) more music like this by Soft Machine Recorded on March 23, 1971 for Radio Bremen, during the band's final European tour with Robert Wyatt in the lineup, this is a good (and very well-recorded) document of their early-'70s sound. At this point the band, having doubled in size around the Third era, had contracted to a quartet with Wyatt, Mike Ratledge, Hugh Hopper, and saxophonist ... see all copies from $15.63! new only from $15.63!
24 view cover	Volume Two (1969) more music like this by Soft Machine The first Soft Machine LP usually got the attention, with its movable parts sleeve, as well as the presence of ultra-talented songwriter Kevin Ayers. But musically, Volume Two better conveys the Dada-ist whimsy and powerful avant-rock leanings of the band. Hugh Hopper took over for Ayers on bass, and his fuzz tones and experimental leanings ... see all copies from $12.25! new only from $12.25!
25 view cover	Nothing Can Stop Us (1982) more music like this by Robert Wyatt This compilation of early-'80s singles includes some of Wyatt's finest work. Aside from "Born Again Cretin" (whose vocals recall the Beach Boys at their most experimental), all of it's non-original material that Wyatt makes his own with his sad, haunting vocals. You could hardly ask for a more diverse assortment of covers: Chic's "At Last I Am ... see all copies from $15.35! new only from $15.59!
