MagnetThe fact that Comicopera is a masterpiece proves it all right nicely. [Fall 2007, p.113]
-
The songs on Comicopera rate amongst his very best--emotionally complex, politically charged but never short of beautiful.
-
The sweetest instrument, however, is Wyatt’s voice, whose fragile, high, quavering tone is honest to the core.
-
SpinThe CD is like spending a cloudy afternoon on Jupiter with the old man, his quizzical sonic tricks at arms reach, his singing as ageless and haunting as the ammonia rain. [Dec 2007, p.128]
-
Each song works brilliantly in isolation, making this a treasure trove of Wyatt’s finest work ever.
-
Under The RadarIt makes perfect sense as a Robert Wyatt album, and few in his catalog are so perfectly paced and comprehensively designed. [Fall 2007, p.77]
-
If the album has a rough-around-the-edges, askew quality, that just makes it more fascinating: this isn't music that settles in the background.
