Very nice bit of production by Wardell Quezergue. I picked up the single this is from a little while ago and really like this song even though it's the b-side.

I've just managed to get a job. Paying a pittance for something that I find very stressful - call center work. But all of a sudden worries about debts and bills have just been lifted. In the nick of time. Walking home from the town center all that I could think of was this song and I am playing it now.


It's a cover of a Robert Wyatt song and it's just joyous. Wyatt's refrain "At last I am free/I can hardly see in front of me" is a profound take on the blindness of freedom. Set free from my troubles I have no clear idea of what the following month will bring!

Cassiber themselves were an odd and arty band who I don't expect many to like. They specialised in improvised songs so it's a sort of free jazz/art pop-rock thing. Christoph Anders declamatory style of vocals can grate at times and the pretentious "texts" (not lyrics, texts) can irritate a little, but on this tune Anders sings like it was written for him. The punctuation of agonisingly distorted guitar and flights of saxophone and surprisingly (for this band) strong sense of melody backed by the thud and clatter of some wonderful drumming make this the song I sing to myself whenever I have good news. Share a happy moment with me before the storm clouds inevitably return.

Well I never. Chic also did a cover of At Last I am Free. Wyatt's appeal really cuts accross the musical spectrum. The joys of youtube.

Here's the slow bitter-sweet genius of the original, just in case you need to now hear it:
