Soft Machine are an English rock band from Canterbury, Kent, and were central in the Canterbury scene.
(The Canterbury Scene is well known for Jazz-Rock, Experimental, Prog-Rock, Art Rock, British Psychedelia, Avant-Prog).
The band were formed in 1966 by Mike Ratledge, Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, Daevid Allen and Larry Nowlin.
They became one of the first British psychedelic acts, were widely regarded as the first progressive rock band and helped pioneer progressive and jazz rock.
Soft Machine - BBC Radio (1967- 1971).
Met geïllustreerd informatief booklet.
Mag weg voor 20,00 euro.
Bijkomende verzendkosten bedragen 5,85 euro.
This 2CD set represents an excellent alternative history of the band from just before their first album to their fourth, which was also the last of their albums to include drummer and founding member Robert Wyatt who left afterwards.
There is no shortage of collections of archive material by the Soft Machine but this Hux-label double CD compilation of their BBC recordings is the mother lode.
For instance, early demo and live versions of dubious quality of "Clarence in Wonderland," "Certain Kind," or "Hope for Happiness" were in circulation allready, but here these recordings are far more superior.
You just can't beat BBC recordings for good sound quality and meaningful "alternate versions."
The first volume covers the group's early years up to the departure of drummer Robert Wyatt, starting with a session from December 1967, when the Softs consisted of Kevin Ayers, Mike Ratledge, and Wyatt.
A session from 1969 features Wyatt, Ratledge, Hugh Hopper, and Brian Hopper in a torrid medley of "Facelift" and the "Mousetrap" suite, but the jewel of the first disc is indisputably a full-band rendition (Ratledge, Wyatt, and Hugh Hopper) of "Moon in June," one of very few times it was performed as such (the studio version was mostly put together by Wyatt overdubbing all parts).
Disc two presents sessions from 1971 with Elton Dean added to the regular lineup.
The last track is another "Mousetrap" sequence seguing into "Esther's Nose Job," performed by the short-lived septet lineup (with a brass section formed by Dean, Lyn Dobson, Marc Charig, and Nick Evans).
All-in all this is the closest thing to a studio recording existing by this particular group and it is well-worth the price of admission.
