Shleep (Reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 2000 copies; comes with a CD version of the album! It's far too easy to abuse the phrase "living legend," but when used to describe Robert Wyatt, you're in no danger of hyperbole: gifted songwriter; political activist; drummer in the Canterbury jazz/prog pioneers Soft Machine and contemporaries of the original lineup of Pink Floyd. Domino are incredibly honored to be releasing a near-complete re-issue series of Robert's solo recorded works in the form of these limited edition LP+CD versions!

Featuring long term collaborators and friends like Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, Annie Whitehead, Evan Parker and newer accomplices such as Paul Weller, Shleep is as exuberant and immediate a record as Wyatt has ever recorded. Clearly delighting in the process of collaborating in the studio again, it's a remarkable testament to Wyatt's muse that a record inspired by insomnia should produce such welcoming and restful lullabies. "Robert Wyatt continues to follow his singular musical path with the lovely Shleep, delivering another album of considerable quirky charm and understated beauty; a less melancholy affair than much of his recent work, the record is informed by a hazy, dreamlike quality perfectly in keeping with the elements of subconsciousness implicit in the title." - Jason Ankeny / All Music Guide
