Booooooooooooooo.
This is album is f*cking beautiful man, it's one of my favorites, it's like a musical impressionist painting, you could call it the Astral Weeks of prog, except I like it way more than that album tbh. I dig it's underwater vibe, as the music gets more and more abstract with each song it feels like I'm diving deeper and deeper into an alien world.
Anyway that guy speaking at the end of "Little Red Robin Hood Hit The Road" is Scottish poet and musician Ivor Cutler and the instrument is a harmonium being played by Cutler himself, it is a pretty odd way to end the album but that's Wyatt for ya.
You did say before that you don't like Canterbury in general, which I can't get enough of personally, I get the impression you just don't like the jazzier side of prog.
