So I always listen to the albums without reading anything about them, in order to form my own opinions about them – and then afterwards, I read the Wiki highlights et al… Listened to this on the drive into work today, and had 2 distinct – and exact opposite thoughts while listening… #1 – If this was made AFTER Radiohead had hit the scene, then this D+ knock-off is definitely not worth your time… #2 – If however, this was made BEFORE Radiohead had hit the scene, then this album deserves a special place in the prog rock canon… After I found out that Robert Wyatt – after writing most of the material, fell from a balcony and was paralyzed from the waist down, that added a whole new layer of intrigue… Given the originality found on this album, combined with the vision and grit to get it recorded after his recovery, really puts this album in a different light… Definitely feels like layered sampling throughout the album, combined with sections of tracks that sounded like they were recorded normally – and then played back in reverse and embedded in several tracks – all with additional layers of instrumentation mixed in… The result sounds like a raw DNA precursor that forms an evolutionary line directly to the seasoned Radiohead of the late 90’s and 2000’s… Sections of “Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road” definitely has hints of Radiohead’s “The National Anthem” from their “Kid A” album released in 2000… Not saying there are any direct corollaries, but the style, layering, and overall sound are along the same lines… Given all of the unique aspects of this album – which is not easy to listen to the first time through (i.e. neither was Radiohead’s “Kid A” or John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” – good company for sure…), this deserves more than a 2 – so surprisingly for me even, this clocks in as a solid 3…
