2 жыл бұрынReleased March 25, 2022.
From their beginnings as a psychedelic rock band in 1966, sharing stages with Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, to being one of the originators of electric jazz/rock by early 1969, Britain’s Soft Machine were restlessly creative. Facelift France and Holland captures them at a pivotal moment in the first quarter of 1970 as a short-lived quintet, just before they recorded and released their breakthrough album Third.

A friend saw Soft Machine open for Hendrix on the first US tour for both. His mom took him at 14 y/o. He loved Wyatt. My friend is a professional musician guitarist. He loved Wyatt. I have every SM and Wyatt. Soft Machine 3 is the first album I ever bought.

Musicianship of the highest quality. Elton Dean's playing on their Fourth album could break your heart (in a good way!). Hoppers bass playing superb (and a great composer too)...and, of course, Robert Wyatt. ...what an inventive (and energetic !) drummer. Superb.
@johnshore839 2 жыл бұрын
Dean's playing can be great but also can be very irritating! (listen to some of his work with Tippet for instance and his own albums). But Wyatt, Ratledge and Hopper are consistently brilliant (up to and including Third but then a fast decline without Robert).
@johnroberts1708 2 жыл бұрын
@@johnshore839 you are probably right. I gave up on Soft Machine after Fourth (I did by fifth but I was very disappointed and never bothered after that). I think my praise for Elton Dean Emirates from his wonderful playing on Virtually Part 2. Never before or since experienced anyone or anything expressing such anguish in playing an instrument....it's masterful (at least to my ears)
@RocknJazzer 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah Fourth is the best, the final culmination of their development, would have loved for that to continued another album or two. Their most complex, mature and varied, as well as highest energy in spots. Wyatts best drumming too, everyone really at their peak, and the moody dark pieces so full of mood and mystery...really has it all, the song flow, depth, etc. A masterpiece and first SM album I ever bought...that I didnt like at first or a long time! So I can see why others may say Third instead, as most rock fans (myself included) were not ready for that much jazz and complexity from them. I wasnt. At first felt it waaaay too jazzy for my rock and prog and 70s fusion ears. Took me a few YEARS to get into it, but kept coming back, and then finally once I "got" it, been fav ever since, in my top 5 for sure prob in top 3 or 2 even.

Wonderful stuff - my favourite SM era - uplifting and mesmerising and not at all slick (not by any means!!). This is as good a place as any to ask a question that I have posted elsewhere without any answer being offered. Does anyone know the story of why Lyn Dobson left Soft Machine on the eve of recording Third? - I know that the seven piece was not financially viable but Lyn had stayed on with Elton and only appears on Third for Facelift. I saw somewhere that Mike Ratledge’s pieces ‘Slightly All The Time’ and ‘Out Bloody Rageous’ had been arranged for dual saxes with the intention or expectation that Lyn would be on these - I even saw that they had been re-dubbed by Elton - SO was Lyn originally on the recordings? or had he left suddenly shortly before the recording of Third? If so WHY? - it seems strange to have invested so much in the creation of these pieces and then to drop out before recording. It doesn’t make much sense to me. Was there a serious personality clash with fists flying or a major disagreement over money? I have never seen it even mentioned anywhere - so either it was really BAD and no one can talk about it to this day or, maybe no one thinks it even worth a mention.

All I can say on the matter is Dobson was very eccentric way more than the rest of the softs I have a solo project he did around the same year as this called Jam Sandwich- it's nuts, a cluttered array of different out of tune instruments!

Some person (KARMA) of whom it appears I am unable to reply to, said I was being mean concerning my complaint of Dobson's intonation. What he doesn't realise is that it causes pain to the brain.My wife who has super hearing concerning intonation, from 2 rooms away from where I was listening to his playing screamed out to me to get it off. Dobson is obviously self taught on flute. One has to go to a good teacher to know how to overcome that problem. Though finding a good teacher, especially for flute is no easy thing. His soprano tuning is excellent, and that is not an easy instrument to play in tune. In the 70s I have been on Studio Sessions in which a jazzer was also playing flute, has been told to go home, because there tuning was intolerable.
