Dondestan (Revisited) is generally a very predictable album since it doesn't go outside the style and direction that Robert Wyatt had carved out for himself on his previous releases. There are a few minor experiments but they honestly don't hold a candle to what he did earlier in his career. Robert Wyatt followed up the Casio-tastic Old Rottenhat with one of his strangest albums, which emerged first in 1991 in a somewhat rushed mix due to running out of time and recording budget. Later, thanks in part to the success of Shleep, a new remix of the album would emerge entitled Dondestan Revisited, which teases out the subtleties of the compositions.

Album · 1997 · 10 Songs. Released in a rush the first time out, Dondestan was given second life with a leisurely remix, hence Revisited, where Wyatt could point out the sights and punch up the highlights in this ethereal nightmare. Where most music that centers around lush keyboards usually results in a soothing exercise, Wyatt is too alive with counterpoint and political and surrealist concerns to lets things flow so easily. His wife, Alfreda Benge, has her poetry put to Wyatt’s music and the result is even more abstract than usual. Calling this rock, pop, jazz or progressive music misses the mark.

Every decade or so, Robert Wyatt's discography comes around again; this new batch of reissues (the first of two) has apparently been prompted by the release of For the Ghosts Within a few weeks ago. Any excuse will do, really. The albums Wyatt has intermittently released over the past 40 years are glacially paced and occasionally maddening, but they're also fascinating, thoughtful, and spectacularly beautiful at times. The six songs of Rock Bottom were a new kind of music for Wyatt: very slow, exquisitely deliberate. It's easy to hear echoes of the album in latter-day Radiohead, among others. The magnificent "Sea Song" is the most immediately gripping piece here, but everything has peculiar little joys that take their time emerging. Alifib" is an aphasic love song to his partner Alfreda Benge (they were married the day the album was released); "Alife" brings her in to offer an affectionate rebuke.
