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.

available in a digipak for the very first time. robert's political views and revolutionary stance also influenced 'old rottenhat' which was first released in 1985. the album is dedicated to michael bettany who was jailed as a traitor and the overriding themes of the album are of repression of the working classes, alienation, snobbery, and individual liberty. robert even made a conscious effort to produce 'un-misusable music' - music where any possible political ambiguity was removed so that it would have to be rejected by anyone promoting corrupt western culture. that such a beautiful album could result from such stark, uncompromising ideals is a testament to robert's unique musical vision and talent.
