Is it a guilty pleasure? There's still room for debate. The recent thread on The Chameleons convinced me to dig this one out. I haven't played it in a while, but now it's stuck on rotation. I can't believe I never realized what a great song Soul In Isolation was (though Paradiso and the full arrangement of Tears are still my favorites).

I've been meaning to dig this out as well. When I got it all I liked on it was "Swamp Thing", but there were alot of albums I got that year, so many that some I dismissed, like this one, and came to find out later that they were much better than I originally thought. |

Oh wow. Just loving this. A bit of Radiohead, a dash of Pink Floyd, a smattering of Porcupine Tree. It's proggy without being lost in a technical, tricksy wonderland. It's warm and layered and epic and soothing. A great find. Don't expect originality just damn fine music. There's a little sprinkle of Trip Hop to finish it all off.

Check my last fm scrobbler for proof . There are a couple of tracks mid way that disrupt the flow but overall-fantastic album. Great minds think alike.

robert wyatt's shleep.
it's a lot more of a pop album than wyatt's earlier stuff, but i think every artist tends to follow that trend. it was tough to listen to at first because it wasn't what i expected at all, but once i embraced it for what it was, it grew on me. |
