The End of an Ear is the debut solo album by Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt.

Background

The album was recorded in August 1970, while Wyatt took a break from Soft Machine, the band he would leave the following year.[2][3] Containing mostly free jazz and experimental music, the music has no lyrics, only vocal experimentation by Wyatt.[4] It includes Soft Machine's Elton Dean on saxophone and Caravan's Dave Sinclair (who, in 1971, would join Wyatt in the group Matching Mole) on organ. About half of the album is filled by a two-part cover of Gil Evans' "Las Vegas Tango". The track "To Carla, Marsha and Caroline (For Making Everything Beautifuller)" is based on the music of "Instant Pussy", a song Wyatt first recorded solo during a Soft Machine BBC session in late 1969 and which appeared, also in instrumental form, on Matching Mole's first album.[5]

Re-issue

The album was re-issued, in remastered form, with a booklet and fully restored artwork and essay, by Esoteric Recordings in July 2012.[6]

In July 2012, Paul Sexton of Prog magazine commented: "It begins with deranged, high-speed voices like something out of The Goon Show, in a vaguely Latin mood and set to discordant piano. It ends 47 minutes later having made barely a concession to the protocols of melody, lyrics or song construction. The debut solo album by Robert Wyatt was a law unto itself in 1970 and is just as enigmatic today." While Marcus O'Dair of Jazzwise magazine said, "At moments it sounds like free jazz, at others modernist sound collage, at one point, Hendrix's "Purple Haze"."[6]
