Customer Reviews of End of an Ear
End of an Ear A lost classic in the first degree. Owned it on vinyl 32 years ago, now on CD. The material explains the origins of Wyatt's musical thoughts, leading up to "Shleep". Athough more primitive, the recording equipment then wasn't MIDI'ed up yet. Enjoy it forever.
forgotten classic
This is one of those classic records that's often sorely overlooked due to the shadow cast by similarly great records by the artist (in this case it's Wyatt's "Rock Bottom" - certainly an essential purchase in itself). Prior to Wyatt's "comeback" in experimental-rock circles in the mid-'90s this was often dismissed as a self-indulgent mess best left on the record company's deletion list... what rot! This is pure inspired experimentalism on a plate, a fantastic mix of free jazz, vocalese, musique concret and psychedelia. Very much in the same league as similar artists of the time - Tim Buckley, Can and Miles Davis - "End of An Ear" creates a seamless blend of many disparate styles, creating a new genre of its own where rock, avant-garde and jazz meet as one. Comparable in parts to Can's "Tago Mago", Buckley's "Starsailor" or electric/psych-period Miles, this criminally ignored piece of work in the Wyatt puzzle deserves some serious re-evaluation in the rock-crit circles.
A Step Beyond Soft Machine
Robert Wyatt's first solo album can best be described as a Very free jazz continuation of the Soft Machine's album THIRD. Whereas the tunes on THIRD had melodies and a certain sense of cohesion , there is none of that here. If you're not into experimental jazz (and this IS good stuff), this is not the place to begin your Robert Wyatt collection.
