These tracks from the early ‘80s suggest much from Wyatt’s left-wing politics and his even more far-out ways with hooks. “Born Again Cretin” is a nattering piece of three-minute pop. Chic’s “At Last I Am Free” plays like a smooth, solid ballad where Wyatt takes his haunting voice into the world of R &B, with the same unyielding. Nothing Can Stop Us is a compilation album by Robert Wyatt released in 1982. Consisting primarily of tracks released as singles and B-sides during the late 1970s and early '80s, it only contains one Wyatt composition (the opening track 'Born Again Cretin'). Nothing Can Stop Us is a compilation album by Robert Wyatt released in 1982. Listen free to Robert Wyatt – Nothing Can Stop Us (Born Again Cretin, At Last I Am Free and more). 10 tracks (39:47).

Jun 27, 2011 Nothing Can Stop Us is a delightfully eclectic yet still pointedly political covers album with some great vocal work. Old Rottenhat has perhaps his best album's worth of songwriting and some gorgeous vocals. Dondestan and Shleep are of a piece for me, despite being released a decade apart- a spare, elegant, mature sound with a marvelous dreamy.

I am by no means a completist with the works of Mr. Wyatt, particularly after it became difficult to follow in the 80’s.But I am a big fan.I am anticipating his new album, “Comicopera”, which I have yet to hear.I greatly enjoyed his 2003 “Cuckooland” album.This list should also include his works with Soft Machine (the first 4 albums) and Matching Mole (both albums), but it doesn’t.Surprisingly, some of the collections here are very good – notably “Flotsam &Jetsam” and “Going Back A Bit”.I am also very fond of the many cameo appearances Mr. Wyatt has made on a variety of artists records – thing like the “Fictitious Sports” album by Nick Mason (who also produced his magnificent “Rock Bottom” album) and “The Hapless Child” by Michael Mantler.
He’s sometimes called “The saddest voice on Earth” – but I have never particularly found him to sound ‘sad’.I like ‘em all, but if I had to pick one, it’d be “Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard”.
