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

The singular Robert Wyatt releases His Greatest Misses - a compilation spanning his decades-long career - on vinyl for the first time ever. Also back in stock on CD.

In its title, His Greatest Misses acknowledges that Wyatt’s career has taken place outside the limited space and definition of commercial pop success but simultaneously recognises that Wyatt’s non-careerist career has nevertheless proven both productive and rigorous. The collection, originally released as a Japanese edition, includes selections dating from Rock Bottom (1974) to Cuckooland (2003), although its running order is non-chronological. This makes the subtle point that Wyatt’s recordings are best considered as a non- linear catalogue; this is a world through which the listener can move at any pace in any direction.

Born in Bristol in 1945, Wyatt was a founding member of the bands Soft Machine and Matching Mole, before embarking on a solo career. His discography is one that flows with the force and intensity of a river in full spate. Each recording on His Greatest Misses is a benchmark in the life and work of a steadfast and true original and provides the opportunity for the listener to enjoy some wild swimming through this powerful, idiosyncratic and unclassifiable catalogue.

The release of His Greatest Misses coincides with the release of Side by Side, a book by Robert Wyatt and his wife Alfie Benge: visual artist, songwriter and the person who has nurtured and overseen Wyatt’s career for the past forty-six years.
