The Cuneiform record label is making the new Soft Machine album available for pre-order.
"Høvikodden 1971" will be released both as a 4 CD and as a 4 LP set, and as a digital download.
As the album title explains, it will present a 1971 concert recording.
While the two sets from the second night (February 28, 1971) have been released before, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE ENTIRE TWO-NIGHT STAND HAS BEEN RELEASED. So half of this is previously completely unreleased.
This is a excellent, stereo recording of the band performing in a relatively small hall; the balances between the instruments are not perfectly balanced, but there is no other recording by Soft Machine that I know of that sounds as much like the band are performing *right* in front of you!
Additionally, we were able to improve in a modest but definitely noticeable way the not-perfect balance between the instruments on this edition.
