Wow, there was a sale on Newman records, how many are you collecting? :-)

"Original Album Series" from the first to "Little Criminals" for 17 euros and 50 cents (not bad).

Wow...

I slightly prefer Good Old Boys, but it's definitely a great album... 12 Songs is another great record.

Yes, wonderful record. Try "Hits the Road" too, it's even better.

and is guilty only of coming after rock bottom...

No, you're mistaken! Rock Bottom is from 1974, this is from 1970... perhaps you meant to say that it has the misfortune of belonging to the discography of an artist who produced a record of immense greatness like "Rock Bottom" (which, exactly, does not diminish its value).

Also Moon in June (on Third), and the two by Matching Mole came first! Rock Bottom seals and, perhaps, closes Wyatt's peak moment.

oh, I made a mistake... this is the one from "Las Vegas Tango"!!! which is a fabulous track... I simply confused it with "Ruth is stranger than Richard" (I don't know how but I did) excellent album, which, by the way, comes after Rock Bottom... "The End of an Ear is indeed a challenging album", very particular... there are no the craziness of the early machines, there's none of that sensation of wandering in the most hidden spaces of the soul like in Rock Bottom... nor the enchanting sweetness of "oh Caroline"... then it's almost entirely instrumental... it's another Wyatt... I confess I haven't listened to it in a while... and, indeed, I mostly remember "Las Vegas Tango"... sorry for the misunderstanding...

I agree with Lector.

Pure free jazz in "To nick everyone"! "To mark everywhere" starts like Davis's "Spanish key"… Wyatt, with part 1 of "Las vegas…", proves to be the greatest experimenter alongside Buckley… and with Stratos here with us.

Well, here we’re splitting hairs!

it was for luludia

Some tracks by Matching Mole don't stray too far from the conventional Canterbury sound… instead, the excellent examples are found in "Marchides," "Instant Kitten," and "Instant Pussy."

listen to Wyatt's albums with Michael Mantler (at least The Hapless Child), they are a marvel

Even though they do very different things, I've always related Tim Buckley to Robert Wyatt... for the feeling their music conveys... for that wandering... and certainly also for the incredible melancholy of their voices...

Oh, really... the new vocal geniuses would be Yorke and the lead singer of Alt-J?! It's either a matter of settling for less or working harder, I guess.. ;)

I really like Antony Hegarty's voice.

Tomorrow I'll tell you ;)

One of the early masterpieces of the great Wyatt, poetry...
