¡Hovikodden 1971: 4CD Boxset
¡Soft Machine
Description
[Machine Translation] The originators of the Canterbury scene and one of the most famous bands of the scene, the Henny Onstad Art Center near Oslo, Norway, recorded the entire concert of their two-night European tour on February 27 and 28, 1971, in a 4CD clamshell box set. This is now available in a 4CD clamshell box set! The concert was part of an art exhibition by the Boyle Family, a British art group. It was special in that a film of its member, Mark Boyle, was projected during the soft machine performance. More importantly, the tapes on which both concerts were recorded have been preserved, and they are in excellent shape. They are wonderful live recordings that offer a glimpse into how the sound changed dramatically from one night to the next. This is the first time that two nights in a row of live recordings by one of the Soft Machine's most classic quartets have been released in their entirety, although two sets from the second night (February 28, 1971) have been previously released. The first night (February 27, 1971) had never been released before. The first night (February 27, 1971) was previously completely unreleased, and the sound balance between the instruments on the original tape has been slightly improved, so that it sounds as if the band is playing right in front of you. In the words of the late Michael King, who released Sunday concert on his own Reel Recordings label in 2009, "This is clearly the best recording of a classical soft machine quartet ever made on tape. This is a rare and important live recording for Soft Machine fans and Canterbury fans alike.
