“Wyatting is deliberately selecting annoying or extreme music on an mp3 jukebox to cause irritation". It's pretty funny that Robert Wyatt gained some cultural exposure as his name became a verb. Truth be told, Rock Bottom would be the soundtrack playing on a cold but sunny afternoon in the perfect beer garden of my imagination.
Yes, there's a heap of heavy pondering, some uneasy droning, but the sheer amount of human spirit and uplifting twists makes this album feels like the full spectrum of existence. Wyatt transcends our silly little genres, this one is about human creative potential! - Nic
