Rock Bottom, recorded with a star-studded cast of Canterbury musicians, has been deservedly acclaimed as one of the finest art rock albums. Several forces surrounding Wyatt's life helped shape its outcome. First, it was recorded after the former Soft Machine drummer and singer fell out of a five-story window and broke his spine. Legend had it that the album was a chronicle of his stay in the hospital. Wyatt dispels this notion in the liner notes of the 1997 Thirsty Ear reissue of the album, as well as the book Wrong Movements: A Robert Wyatt History. Much of the material was composed prior to his accident in anticipation of rehearsals of a new lineup of Matching Mole. The writing was completed in the hospital, where Wyatt realized that he would now need to sing more, since he could no longer be solely the drummer. Many of Rock Bottom's songs are very personal and introspective love songs, since he would soon marry Alfreda Benge. Benge suggested to Wyatt that his music was too cluttered and needed more open spaces. Therefore, Robert Wyatt not only ploughed new ground in songwriting territory, but he presented the songs differently, taking time to allow songs like "Sea Song" and "Alifib" to develop slowly. Previous attempts at love songs, like "O Caroline," while earnest and wistful, were very literal and lyrically clumsy. Rock Bottom was Robert Wyatt's most focused and relaxed album up to its time of release. In 1974, it won the French Grand Prix Charles Cros Record of the Year Award. It is also considered an essential record in any comprehensive collection of psychedelic or progressive rock. Concurrently released was the first of his two singles to reach the British Top 40, "I'm a Believer." ~ Jim Powers

商品の紹介

Uncut - "...ROCK BOTTOM depicts a utopian world, a jazz rock album that takes you to a place no jazz or rock has taken us before..." Entertainment Weekly - "...BOTTOM is by turns dreamy, funny, and heart-rending, modulated as if by morphine drip....Wyatt's influence among offbeat rockers is extensive; [this] unclassifiable bloom explain[s] why." - Rating: A Spin - 10 (out of 10) - "...ROCK BOTTOM is more than just exquisite internalized hydrotherapy--it's also an album about love, about self-deception and self-discovery, and, above all, about the luminously redemptive possibilities of melody..." Q - 5 stars out of 5 - "...An evergreen masterpiece with 6 unforgettable songs..." The Wire - "[A]n immersive masterpiece....It's not merely a paean to bliss -- a range of squally emotions come into play on this most unsentimental of sentimental albums." Mojo - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here's an affecting quality to all of its six tracks, especially in Wyatt's fragile, staunchly London-accented vocals." Record Collector - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Wyatt creates a sonic landscape that's by turns touching, unsettling and serene."

Rock Bottom｜CDアルバム
墜落事故からの復帰作である１９７４年の作品。ドラムは叩けなくなったがが、その代わりに神がかった歌声がある。一つ一つの音を紡ぎ寄せる様な崇高な音世界は、例える言葉が思いつかないほど美しい。ニック・メイスンによるプロデュースで、マイク・オールドフィールドやカンタベリー系アーティストの演奏もお見事。文句なしの傑作です。

“SEA SONG”＝すぐさま故デイヴィッド･バイロンを連想してしまう小生です。同名異曲ですね。さて、イタリアン･ロックのSHM-CD化リイシュー･シリーズとしてI POOH、UNO、CITTA FRONTALE等が出る模様ですが、そんなものいらないので（笑）ロベルト･コロンボのザッパ的ジャズ･ロックの名作といわれる“SFOGATEVI BESTIE”（75年）をPPSで出して下さいな。

彼が下半身不随になる大事故の後に録音されただけあり、彼の深い喪失と絶望(そしてほんのわずかな希望)を感じられる作品。独特の浮遊感溢れるサウンドからは、ひたすら身体が波に飲み込まれていくかのような感覚を覚える(個人的には、ポーの"メールストロムの旋渦"という短編を思い出してしまう)。一曲目Sea Songなんて何度聴いても圧倒させられる、まさに魂の絶唱。聴き終えたあと、こんなにも心が揺らぐ作品もそう無い。
