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.

Highlighting Wyatt's interests in township arrangements and ensemble playing, made explicit by calling a track 'Team Spirit', RISTR inverts the inward meditations of his previous album, Rock Bottom, outwards. The result is a set that startles with its rhythmic instinct and shape shifting composition. Drawing on both Wyatt's breezy way with a time signature, and his ability to use his voice as a truly resonant instrument, the record contains not so much songs as abstract chamber pieces that bathe and unfurl in a warmth and stillness of their own.back in stock. robert wyatt's follow-up to 'rock bottom' was expedient, arriving in 1975, just a year after its predecessor. it uses the same jazz-rock template but is an altogether more structured work; a kind of more sensible, older brother to rock bottom's uncontrollable younger sibling.
