i-Pod listening in the garden this PM.

Second solo outing for ex-Soft Machine drummer, from 1974.

The Jazz of The Soft Machine runs throughout this album, but it's in the background, and this is certainly not a Jazz-Rock album. I'm not even sure it's really a Rock album, I'll leave that for others to decide.

It's much more palatable than much of his former bands' work, and is an engaging, if slightly strange, album. Released shortly after he was paralysed in an accident, it would be forgiveable if this was a dark album of self-pity & navel gazing, but it's far from that. What you get are some strangely psychedelic songs, mixed with some intimately personal ones, all of a generally contented nature, & all delivered in Wyatt's odd, but affecting voice.

Minor classic.

Dude, that's one of the all time masterpieces of rock your talking about

What Are You Listening To? - Music Head - 26-09-2011

from my library (cd)

Follow up to the classic, which would be hard to equal for me. Only took 16 years. Would never outsell that original, but it did chart higher, making #1 to the classics #14 in the states. Equal #1 performance in the U.K. and Aussieland. Single of I Would Do Anything For Love also hit the top and got the Meat a grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. This album was also written and produced by Jim Steinman. He had started working on the follow up as early as '77 under pressure from the label. Songs from this actually made it to Steinmans solo album, Bad For Good, and his female group, Pandoras Box. Have not heard either of those. Todd Rundgren and Ellen Foley return for background vocals. Meat Loaf is a great performer and is equal to the task for this, but it doesn't measure up to the masterpiece that he will forever be known for.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Back Into Hell

Best Track - Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are

The skies were pure and the fields were green
And the sun was brighter than it's ever been
When I grew up with my best friend Kenny
We were closest than any brothers than you ever knew

It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
And there was so much left to dream
And so much time to make it real

But I can still recall the sting of all
The tears when he was gone
They said he crashed and burned
I know I'll never learn
Why any boy should die so young

We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground

But it was long ago and it was far away,
Oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway,
Then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are

And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
And corroded by failure and envy and hate

There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
And my father's eyes were blank
As he hit me again and again and again

I know I still believe he'd never let me leave,
I had to run away alone
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years
Before my life became my own

And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind
And then he pulls me back

But it was long ago and it was far away,
Oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway,
Then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are

There was a beauty living on the edge of town
And she always put the top up and the hammer down
And she taught me everything I'll ever know
About the mystery and the muscle of love

The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo
And the signs along the highway all said,
Caution! Kids At Play!

Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
There was salvation every night
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
But everything we tried was right

She used her body just like a bandage,
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb

But it was long ago and it was far away,
Oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway,
Then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are

She used her body just like a bandage,
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
