Let's hope the MOFI version is better than this.

The MoFi CD sounds very good, don't know about the vinyl.

It should get here tomorrow!

A friend mentioned that MOFI CD version is bass heavy.

Do you find it to be that way?

Don't know how Oliver finds it but mine sounds excellent on my system. Best version I have heard.

Ditto.

It's here!

How do you like it Paul?[/QUOTE]

sounds great on first listen. Will spend some quality time the weekend listening the weekend. Nice packaging as well - so all in all a great purchase.

Kenny Brown rocks it, i like his slower stuff on the album also.

The quality of these Japanese pressings is superb. Cheap to buy from Amazon as well.

Great Album

Reviewed by the BBC. This is a very good and interesting CD.

Robert Wyatt's status as a living English institution now equals that of, say, Stephen Fry. So much so, that there's a danger of the shy, self-effacing man being swamped by wearying hyperbole. But, just as you're about to surrender to cynicism, along comes something as wonderful as Around Robert Wyatt: a collaboration between the bearded one and Daniel Yvinec and his French ten-piece Orchestre. One listen and any doubts about Wyatt's are laid to rest.
The album does this is by taking Wyatt's compositions as well as his most famous cover versions (cf: Shipbuilding), re-casting them in a jazz setting. These expanded, joyous, limber explorations of the basic bones of Wyatt's work reveal structures that are both rock solid and light as a feather. Hardly surprising when you consider thay were all originally written and performed by a jazz fan, albeit one who never considered himself to be a 'proper' musician.
Highlights are pointlesss, but easy examples are Rokia Traore's incredible reading of Alifib. The child-speak of the Rock Bottom classic fits her mouth to a tee. The incredible duo of Yael Naim and Arno, balance delicacy with cartoon gruffness to highlight Wyatt and partner Alfreda Benge's unflinching look at their relationship, Just As You Are (from his Cuckooland album). And Daniel Darc's lounge version of the Matching Mole perennial, O Caroline which eventually lurches into Tom Waits noir? Believe me, it works.
Wyatt, himself, joins the throng on several pieces and his voice sounds rejuvenated by the experience, especially on the bonus version of his obscurity, Rangers In The Night, which benefits from modern looping techniques to achieve an other-worldliness. The Orchestre features players of outstanding calibre, especially the guitar and banjo of Pierre Perchaud who swoops, plunks and grinds. Yvinec's innovative arrangements leave enough room for the songs to breath again, buffing up material grown dull with over-familiarity.
If you've recently tired of Wyatt, or people banging on about how marvellous he is, buy this album. Your faith will be restored. It deserves as much hyperbole as it can get.

I'm on drugs tonight so this is just the music for me!
Only 28 minutes of music on this Enhanced CD so it'll get played twice, and i know it always sounds better the second time around.
Off work now for a few days, and i just hope my catahhr don't get any worse, must be time for another dose of Sudafed and Paracetamols

The verdict is in.

The best copy ever.
Highly recommended!
