Soft Machine - So Boot If At All It seems that nobody ever seems to mention how amazing a drummer Robert Wyatt was. Take this track for example from Soft Machine's debut album The Soft Machine . Utterly relentless; a cacophony of fill, jazz signatures and killer breaks that lead the grinding discordant keys and driving bass. It all becomes a bit dreamlike towards the end as the keyboards and drums float around the song like half-thoughts, ideas and images. It's a hint at the jazz-fusion sound [...]
Dedalus hailed from Italy, near Turin (Torino), recording two records for the much-desired Trident label in the early 1970s. Think of Trident as the Italian equivalent of Ohr or Kosmiche Kuriere. After those two albums, the band all but disappeared. The first Dedalus album (self-titled) is a renowned progressive album that toed the line between rock and avant-garde. It sounded like a cross between Soft Machine and Stockhausen. The second record, which saw the group shrink to a trio (the bassist left the band) is so much further out, so radically different, I don't think there's any way [...]

It's Sunday night. All across the country, people are watching horrible television. I know this because I drove to Nicci's house after work only to learn that she was involved in a reality cooking show, and half of her neighbors were involved in an episode of a vampire drama. The other half of her neighbors were watching Jersey Shore . This left me with nothing to do but think about blogging. I was sidetracked for a few hours by a spur-of-the-moment poker tournament, but now that I've lost my $5 I can once again focus on sharing some music [...]
Super -scarce box set released by Fractal Records (France) in 1998. "The music of French composer Igor Wakhevitch is as difficult to summarize as any modern classical or avant-garde performer you care to name. He never stayed put in one particular idiom or another for long, exhibiting as much affinity for psychedelic rock as he did for opera, modern dance, and minimalist synthesizer pieces. Given his apprenticeship under Terry Riley, and having studied with Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Schaeffer, Wakhevitch's eclectic mix of styles and timbres isn't surprising. What is surprising is that his work remained obscure for [...]

Apesar de algumas pessoas não querem, teimosamente (como é o caso da mentora do blogue Odisseias do John ), compreender a mística e a riqueza cultura e musical do programa Top Gear da BBC, dedicado ao mundo automóvel, este tema dos Soft Machine, foi criado para outro Top Gear. Os Soft Machine, em 1969, fizeram uma versão especial do tema The Moon in June para o programa Top Gear, na BBC Rádio, sendo nessa altura era apresentado por John Peel, e dedicado à indústria musical Wyatt e Ayers escreveram uma letra nova de propósito para o programa de Peel [...]

i've only just started listening to the music of robert wyatt , even though his albums have been lying around in my collection for a while. this evening, i decided to give his 2007 effort comicopera a try, and i'm immediately struck by how poised and collected this three-act opera sounds. for a record as light and palatable as this, it's a delight to see how far it reaches in terms of musical sophistication. impressively, this is something wyatt achieves with such ease and spontaneity, whilst inviting the listener to share in this personal yet communal experience.

Some blissful drawn out jazz rock (no, give it a chance!) from Soft Machine in the year 1966 to sooth those new year blues. Soft Machine - Over 'n' Above
In August of 67, British prog traders Soft Machine were heavily en vogue in France, touring the Côte d'Azur including a legendary gig taking place in the village square of Saint-Tropez – which led to an invitation of producer Eddie „Bluebeard" Barclay's (the man had nine wives) then-fashionable Nuits Psychédéliques and eventually to an unforgotten performance at the Paris Biennale in October of the Été d'Amour. Their first album, recorded in NYC the following year, features Plus belle qu'une poubelle (More beautiful than a garbage can), a short, superior and stony reminiscence of those intoxicated Riviera days.

I cringed when I was asked to put together a list of my 10 favorite albums from the past decade. My shortlist had nearly four times that many. How could I possibly narrow it down? So instead of going through that torturous weeding out process, I decided to compile a list of ten records that I feel didn't get the attention they deserved.
Este disco foi gravado em 1971, contudo, é sem dúvida um dos melhores de 2009! O concerto que os Soft Machine realizaram no Centro de Arte Onstad Henie em Oslo, Noruega entra directamente para a tabela de documentos discográficos imprescindíveis a qualquer melómano. Ao contrário de outros registos ao vivo dos Soft Machine que têm visto a luz do dia, este tem uma qualidade sonora irrepreensível, tendo sido gravado de forma profissional. Este registo apresenta a formação (à época com o teclista Mike Ratledge, o saxofonista Elton Dean, o baixista Hugh Hopper e o baterista Robert Wyatt) no ponto mais [...]
