Progressive rock and experimental music personality Robert Wyatt said goodbye to the music world in 2014 when he announced his retirement with the cryptic statement, ¡°there is a pride in (stopping), I don¡¯t want (the music) to go off.¡± That didn¡¯t mean that something pre-dating his retirement wouldn¡¯t surface, however. And surface it has.
Tokyo-based label Flau has announced the forthcoming release of ¡°KiTsuNe ¡ª Brian the Fox,¡± a collaborative album between Wyatt himself and music maker The Future Eve.
The Japanese musician, who won¡¯t disclose his actual name but records as Th, was noted in some circles for obscure releases in the mid-1980s under the moniker Tomo Akikawabaya. But in 2015 New York label Minimal Wave reissued a broad slice of his ¡®80s oeuvre as ¡°The Invitation of The Dead,¡± an album that scored him points for his analog creations with a wider, modern-day audience.
