| This is one of those classic records that's often sorely overlooked due to the shadow cast by similarly great records by the artist (in this case it's Wyatt's "Rock Bottom" - certainly an essential purchase in itself). Prior to Wyatt's "comeback" in experimental-rock circles in the mid-'90s this was often dismissed as a self-indulgent mess best left on the record company's deletion list... what rot! This is pure inspired experimentalism on a plate, a fantastic mix of free jazz, vocalese, musique concret and psychedelia. Very much in the same league as similar artists of the time - Tim Buckley, Can and Miles Davis - "End of An Ear" creates a seamless blend of many disparate styles, creating a new genre of its own where rock, avant-garde and jazz meet as one. Comparable in parts to Can's "Tago Mago", Buckley's "Starsailor" or electric/psych-period Miles, this criminally ignored piece of work in the Wyatt puzzle deserves some serious re-evaluation in the rock-crit circles. |
