The "How Old Are You" album is a bit underrated, actually.

RIP Robin, a unique talent. I hope his solo work from the '69-'70 gets properly reissued but I fear a lot of it's probably gone or else only exists on scratchy acetates. Feel for poor old Barry, the oldest and the last.

Wow, I had been scarcely aware of Robin's solo work until now! I should know. I'll have to put it on my list!

Maybe I'm engaging in connecting-the-dots-around-the-recently-departed but he had a melancholy in his voice like few others, Richard Manuel being one of the few.

He sounds like a folk singer to me! I mean, as in Mike Waterson not Bob Dylan or whatever.

kinda weird how Barry and Brian Wilson both outlived their younger brothers

2 Years On, we Robinauts have cause for celebration!

Awesome! A few years ago, the bio on his official site had links throughout to ~30 second audio clips of various tracks, and at one point it casually mentioned the Sing Slowly Sisters album with no indication that it was never released, and there was a clip of the title track that was obviously of much better quality than the bootleg versions, so I had a feeling this was in the works, but yeah, super stoked that it's really happening!

Anyone hear 50 St. Catherine's Drive? Worth checking out imo.

Just had this delivered not 5 minutes ago.

All but the BBC sessions are on Spotify in the US. This lives up to the hope thus far. Sound is amazing -- you'd never know this was pulled together from old acetates.

OTM, Andrew Sandoval deserves some sort of award or medal or sumthin' for this.

Revive! As winter approaches, this music always sounds so appropriate – like the soundtrack to Ethan Frome or something.

Somehow, despite being ILM’s craziest Robin fan, I never bought the Saved By the Bell box and have only listened to it on Spotify.

It’s worth noting that “Hudson’s Fallen Wind”—the 12-minute epic suite from which Robin’s Reign’s “Farmer Ferdinand Hudson” is excerpted—is amazing. The sound throughout is incredible.

heard robin's reign (and early bee gees for that matter) for the first time this week and i love it! i think robin's reign is the earliest example of drum machine on record that i can think of. very avant-garde!
