Robert Wyatt - Mid Eighties (1993)

Basically, this is an expanded version of the 1985 album Old Rottenhat, with the addition of eight extra tracks from the period: the four-song Work in Progress EP, two songs from the B-side of "Shipbuilding," and a couple of cuts from various-artists compilations. These bonus tracks are hardly extraneous, containing as they do some of his strongest work from the time, especially his covers of Peter Gabriel's "Biko" and Monk's "'Round Midnight," which are further evidence of Robert Wyatt as one of contemporary music's most imaginative interpreters.
