VINYL FORMAT. Wyatt's career began forty years ago drumming and singing for Soft Machine, a post-psych outfit tied to the "Canterbury Scene" of the late 60s that yielded Pink Floyd and Gong, among others. On this, his ninth album, Wyatt collaborates with Brian Eno, Paul Weller, Phil Manzanera, and a small orchestra of string, woodwind, brass, and percussion players. Divided into three acts, Comicopera is an epic genre-bending allegory told through Robert's fragile tenor voice.
