In a review in the Danish newspaper Politiken (25 November 2007) "comicopera" is hailed again. The reviewer (Kim Skotte) is so poetic, that I wish I could do him justice by translating his piece. We will forgive him for saying that R.W. was a member of Henry Cow! Here is my try on a couple of statements: "With a voice full of paradoxes, just as thin as it is full, and just as deep as it is high-", and later almost like a fairytale: "Robert Wyatt cannot walk one step, but he still is a kind of a pathfinder, finding his own way wearing the seven-league boots of the soul". The Danes!
