Book Musik 036 - "Side by Side: Selected Lyrics" by Robert Wyatt and Alfie Benge

Tosh and Kimley discuss "Side by Side: Selected Lyrics" by Robert
Wyatt and Alfie Benge. Wyatt started his music career as a founding
member of The Soft Machine in the 1960s and released his first solo
album in the early 70s. Alfie, his wife, manager, and creative
partner is an artist who has done all of his cover art as well as
writing many of his lyrics. Robert and Alfie are former
card-carrying members of the Communist Party of Great Britain and
avid followers of ‘pataphysics - the science of imaginary
solutions. The tension between serious and playful, political and
dreamy is a key feature in their work. This collection of lyrics
and artwork is a beautiful testament to their inspiring
collaboration.
