Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Robert Wyatt, born on January 28, 1945 in Bristol, England, is a renowned musician known for his contributions to the London 'psychedelic underground' music scene. Co-founding bands such as Wilde Flowers and Soft Machine, Wyatt gained a strong following with his unique sound. Despite facing challenges such as line-up changes and a life-altering injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down, Wyatt continued to record and perform. His solo albums, including *Rock Bottom* produced by Nick Mason of Pink Floyd fame, showcase his resilience and musical talent.

Influenced by artists like Kevin Ayers and John Cale, Wyatt's music explores various genres including psychedelic rock and progressive rock. With similarities to bands such as Hatfield & The North and Caravan, his distinctive style sets him apart from his contemporaries. Despite setbacks in his personal life, Wyatt's dedication to creating meaningful music has made him an influential figure in the industry.

A reissue of the 1975 Robert Wyatt album. Highlighting Wyatt's interests in township arrangements and ensemble playing, made explicit by calling a track Team Spirit, Ruth is Stranger Than Richard inverts the inward meditations of Rock Bottom outwards. The result is a set that startles with its rhythmic instinct and shape shifting composition. Drawing on both Wyatt's breezy way with a time signature, and his ability to use his voice as a truly resonant instrument, the record contains not so much songs as abstract chamber pieces that bathe and unfurl in a warmth and stillness of their own. As on Rock Bottom something in Wyatt's character clearly inspires his contemporaries to play to their unknown strengths when collaborating with him, the result is an album of linear life-affirming pop experimentation.LP - 180 Gram Vinyl with Download.
