An uplifting, inspiring book ... compelling and entertaining
*Mojo*
English music has produced some fascinating personalities, but few
are as unusual as Robert Wyatt. This excellent book captures his
gentle, generous and intelligent personality, and is incidentally a
very good history of the music scene in England from the sixties
onwards.
*Brian Eno*
I loved Different Every Time ... a great biography and a terrific
book
*Senior Lecturer, The Open University*
Wonderful and a huge pleasure to read ... Brilliantly researched
and well told. Marcus O'Dair has written the book that Robert and
Alfie deserve and I can't give higher praise than that.
*Presenter and Producer, BBC Radio 3*
An informative biography ... makes thrilling reading.
*Daily Telegraph*
A fascinating biography
*London Review of Books*

playful and polemical, heartfelt and heartbreaking, you need Robert
Wyatt in your life

A highly idiosyncratic and intuitively melodic maverick
