Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com's Best of 1998
Robert Wyatt described the recording of Shleep, his first album in six years, as a "beavering away" process; you'd be hard pressed to find a more accurate term. It is a painstakingly assembled, lovingly executed album of warm, delicate beauty. Like the deep sleep that inspires this work, and eludes its creator (Wyatt suffers from "fevered insomnia"), Shleep soothes like few records can. --Matt Hanks
Product Description
Founding member of art rock group Soft Machine, Robert Wyatt, helped set the tone of the sixties psychedelic scene in the UK. With his distinctive drumming and vocals, Wyatt attracted a massive following across Europe. An accident in 1973 left the drummer paralyzed forcing him to shift efforts on solo recordings. His distinct style of mixing simple and effective keyboard melody lines with poignant lyrics, often filled with personal and political references, have proved both haunting and reflective. Rykodisc is proud to introduce you to 4 re-mastered Wyatt classics - Old Rottenhat, Nothing Can Stop Us, Dondestan (Revisited), Shleep.
