| FAR FROM the old friend benefit it might have been, Robert Wyatt's first album since 1991's Dondestan, is a fresh and fully rounded work. It combines all the best qualities of his early recordings - the happy balance of simplicity and complication, frailty and resilience - with a sense of purpose that feels newly minted. A trio of beautiful bird songs ('September The 9th', 'Alien' and 'Out Of Season'), co written by Wyatt and his wife Alfreda Benge, form the hub of the album, but there are even greater pleasures in the hinterland. Wyatt's voice resonates as eloquently as ever, but on the bewitching 'Free Will And Testament' it takes flight to a higher realm of unhistrionic poignancy. The exquisite Eno-flavoured opener 'Heap Of Sheeps' must be the most tranquil song ever written about insomnia, and 'Blues In Bob Minor' - a suitably warped mirror-edged of dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' - gives Paul Weller the cue for his most free-spirited guitar blow out since the heyday of the Style Council. |
