Details about the new Robert Wyatt album "Comicopera" have been released. The former Soft Machine member and revered musician has finished recording and self-producing the follow-up to his Mercury Music Prize nominated "Cuckooland" and it features several guest artists across it's three 'acts.' Paul Weller, Brian Eno and Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera all appear on the new record, and Wyatt says he was aiming to capture the sound of the group together. He says: "Music isn't just an abstract pleasure, it is a company, when you play a record. Why I like Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus, the Big Bands -is because every character in the band is identifiable as that person - there's this group of humans in a room." "Comicopera" is divided into three acts- 'Lost In Noise', 'The Here And The Now', and 'Away With The Fairies'. The full tracklisting is as follows: Act One: Lost In Noise 1 Stay Tunes 2 Just As You Are 3 You You 4 A.W.O.L. 5 Anachronist Act Two: The Here And The Now 6 A Beautiful Peace 7 Be Serious 8 On The Town Square 9 Mob Rule 10 A Beautiful War 11 Out of The Blue Act Three: Away With The Fairies 12 Del Mondo 13 Cancion de Julieta 14 Pastafari 15 Fragment 16 Hasta Siempre The album is released through Domino on October 8. http://www.dominorecordco.com/ - For further details go to Domino's official label website here |

I'm pretty sure he's recorded Del Mondo before for an Italian Tribute album to himself. I'm still looking forward to and I still need to get many of his albums. I think I'll do some shopping later this month. -------------

Robert Wyatt still got it!!
If the next album is as great as the last one ''CUCKOLAND'', will be great
How can a guy compose songs like ''Forest''
 on his last CD? such a magnificent moving song, one of the best i ever heard. The ones who know know what i am talking about! |

| This sounds truly promising! Weller helped Wyatt really "rock out" on SHLEEP, and I hope we'll get the same kind of excitement again. |

Excellent news - I hope it's up to the standards of Shleep and Cuckooland. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |
