Domino

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.

Back In Stock

Signing to Rough Trade in the early 80s, on the understanding from his former label Virgin that he wouldn't release any lps for a while, Wyatt released a series of singles of cover versions. The set was recorded with a straight, simple, beauty informed by the experience of geopolitics just as the term was being invented. Arauco drew on the street 'Mass Songs' of a Chile protesting at the imminent arrival of Pinochet. Stalin Wasn't Stallin was a playful resurrection of a barbershop quartet that sincerely, and unbelievably, aligned the USA with the Soviet Union. Most startling of all was Wyatt's version of Chic's At Last I Am Free. Breathless and hymnal it gave pause for thought for anyone who liked to use the words personal and political in the same sentence. Ensuring the UK was represented in his survey of the new world order, Wyatt paired a version of his old friend Ivor Cutler's Grass alongside a collaboration with the Bengali group Dishari that encouraged Bengali workers to join a trade union. Whilst his beard and directly to the left stance suggested agitprop and protest, these tracks highlighted his incredible gift as an interpreter of.
