A bit emotional thinking about the fellas just now! I live in the Chicago area in the US. I'm obviously a Soft Machine fan, although after Wyatt left my...
I would also like to send my thanks for that link. Very moving indeed. Really wish I could have attended at least the gathering afterwards. When I sent the...
Good to see Cos mentioned - I was listening to them only the other day, and they still don't sound like anybody else, although there's an undoubted Canterbury...
Thanks for the background search stuff on 'East Timor' ... I searched a bit more - the historical politcal context is clear from Wiki as below. Gillespie...
Yes, and my understanding is that the bassoon replaced Geoff Leigh's sax, not Tim's. Mario [Yes, Tim thought Geoff's tenor playing to be too "jazzy"... -...
Alan, Can you tell more about Antique Seeking Nuns? As for Panzerpappa, I agree. Richard Sinclair was even guesting on their first official release. The...
Antique Seeking Nuns are a UK band who have done three EPs under that name, with the same people also playing as the Joff Winks band and Numbient, but only...
Gary: Thank you so much for this great personal story! As someone whose artistic life was profoundly affected by seeing Soft Machine open up for Jimi Hendrix...
... Thanks for the tip. ... They are all pretty much Canterbury-ish. And all brilliant to my ears. While we are at it, I would think folks here would like...
... Oh yes, brilliant! I only heard "Dank Side of the Morn" and don't know exactly how much the guy has released and if it's all in the same vein. This one was...
No, it never was approved by Allan, then and now. Slightly different story than 'rehearsals' turned into a record as with "Velvet Darkness", but a slightly...

Thanks Jeff. I'm not sure how "bold" it was. I was nervous as could be! I think that if I hadn't been so high, I wouldn't have had the nerve. I seem to recall...
Got choked up at the end there. What a beautiful video. Thanks :) I never heard the East Wind stuff before, is there any material available?, it sounded great....
... Thank you so much Leonardo. I felt sure Allan views this in essence as a bootleg. So who profits? Harry [Not being authorised by Allan didn't necessarily...
Hello, Rattlers, Steven Brown here - all the way from de' deep South USA. I propose we wrap this one up. While some of us are celebrating Hugh Hopper, this...
... Maybe, but at least he had the balls to stand up for people with the same opinion, and thanks for the insult. ... Please feel free to move to Cuba or N....
I think, when he was young, Wyatt embraced an enthusiasm for the Communist party - probably due to a combination of youthful idealism and an affection for a...
... I get page not found. Has it been taken down? Jon [Sorry, I had to delete it, at the request of Hugh's widow. I will probably upload a version without the...
Greetings Rattlers. It has been quite an interesting, if not occasionally shallow, discussion about Robert Wyatt's song 'East Timor'. First and foremost, let's...
I've not been paying attention to the list the last few weeks, so I may have missed others talking about this...but, i'm really happy that the Hatfield and the...
A pop-up comes up asking you your internet speed preference and your choice of players (RealAudio or the Windows Media Player). In the Daevid Allen video...
Hi Aymeric, The videos on the website are interesting and are edited versions of those that BBC Kent are currently showing - Last night (Thursday) they...
The old Stalin song, and many like it, were part of popular culture in WW2. British workers painted red stars on supplies for Russia, and surely an encouraging...

Brilliant, indeed. There is another title under the Jettison Slinky moniker: the 2001 released "The Only Song We Know" (very good - maybe even a little bit...
