Domino are extremely proud to release the landmark recordings of Robert Wyatt – one of the most distinguished, visionary, influential and singular catalogues in contemporary music.

Due to the rarity of original copies, and the high prices they fetch, all releases will be made available not just on CD, but also on vinyl at the end of October and early November 2008. This ensures several of the titles: Drury Lane, Shleep & Cuckooland will be making their debut appearance on the LP vinyl format. These releases will be followed, in December, by a Robert Wyatt box set and are preceded on 20 October by the release of ‘This Summer Night’ single, which sees Robert working alongside French producer / composer Bertrand Burgalat.

Shleep (1997)
Featuring long term collaborators and friends like Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, Annie Whitehead, Evan Parker and newer accomplices such as Paul Weller, Shleep is as exuberating and immediate a record as Wyatt has ever recorded. Skipping along like the frustratingly evasive lambs he tries counting to encourage a good night’s sleep. Listening to Eno & Wyatt in unison on ‘Heaps of Shleep’’s series of elongated ‘Oahhh. Oahh, Oahhs’ may be as good as listening to music gets. Bristling with an energy and self-confidence Shleep adds a radiant sunshine to Wyatt’s customary warmth. Clearly delighting in the process of collaborating in the studio again, it’s a remarkable testament to Wyatt’s muse that a record inspired by insomnia should produce such welcoming and restful lullabies.
