Sublime early work from Robert Wyatt and crew - a psychedelic accented jazz rock classic that never gets old - and a visionary set that inspired a generation!
The heavily fuzzy guitar sound is transcendent on 'Volume Two' - with sudden jazzy changes, augmented by horns, and all done with a sly sense of humour for which the group doesn't get enough credit. The set's broken up into two different "concept" halves - and side one is "Rivmic Melodies" - and includes "Pataphysical Introduction", "A Concise British Alphabet", "Dada Was Here", and "Out Of Tunes".
Side two is "Esther's Nose Job" - with the parts "Pig", "Fire Engine Passing With Bells Clanging", "Orange Skin Food", and "A Door Opens & Closes". Wyatt's on vocals and drums; Hugh Hopper is on bass, guitar, and alto; and Mike Ratledge plays some great Lowry and Hammond organ, plus a bit of harpsichord and flute!
