This was Robert Wyatt's first album back after his accident, leaving him in a wheelchair. It still sounds like nothing else. Wyatt played keyboards, hit all sorts of percussive instruments, had great people with him (such as Fred Frith) and sung his weird and wonderful songs with the same yearning beauty he's brought to everything else since. Try this:
mp3 Robert Wyatt: Sea Song
As a bonus, a later version of another one of the album's great songs, this version from Solar Flares.
mp3 Robert Wyatt: Alifib
Buy Robert Wyatt here, though Rock Bottom doesn't seem to be in print (WHY NOT?).
