Inspired by Robert Wyatt

Wyatt's refusal to ever repeat himself is reflected in these vastly diverse rock, jazz, and electronic musicians. Stars and outsiders alike have found a pathfinder in his off-kilter jazz (hear Mary Halvorson's "Spirit Splitter [No. 54]"), ethereal vocal style (Air's "Biological"), and slyly seductive political pop (Scritti Politti's "The 'Sweetest Girl'").
