Vanderwolf with Robert Wyatt and Daevid Allen

"Vanderwolf's new ep leads with A side “When The Fire Grows Cold”, a piano-led cinematic nightmare-lullaby co-sung by the legendary musician-activist, Robert Wyatt.

The B side is “Extinction!”, a 7-minute Balkan-brass psychedelic fantasy featuring the late, great Daevid Allen’s glissando guitar solo and the wonderful Terry Edwards (PJ Harvey, Lydia Lunch, Tindersticks) on saxophone."

Check Bandcamp for more info and downloads. Only digital version (so far?).

The Soft Machine - Paradiso '69

 

Found this gem in a record store in Oslo recently.  The Soft Machine "Paradiso '69" (Tonefloat 2021).

I have been listening to this concert a lot of times on my "Live at The Paradiso 1969"  CD (Voiceprint 1995), and always enjoyed it. This version is remastered from the original analogue masters, and probably sounds better to your professional ears. Any opinions?

Liner notes by Sid Smith.

The band: Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper.

500 numbered copies released. A bit strange perhaps, that the numbering is only on a sticker attached to the plastic wrapping I want to tear off! Or?

Just as you are

 Hello there! More than a year since I was in here. Sorry, I don´t have any good excuses.

Just popped in to say that the beautiful "Just as you are" (Wyatt/Benge) from "Comicopera" (Domino 2007) is on the Uncut CD "Modern Classics" ("tracks from the greatest albums of Uncut´s lifetime", meaning 25 years). That´s Uncut 300 May 2022.

I might be back at irregular intervals, but don´t hold your breath. 

I also had to clean up lots of spam comments, so please don´t feel bad if yours are lacking too. My delete finger just worked hard.

Still a Wyatt fan!
