SOFT MACHINE : Henie Onstad Arts Centre, Norway, 1971. (2x CD)



I've made a start on tidying up my hard drives over the weekend and a number of gems have come to light, including this one. I don't know how many Softs fans there are out there amongst the regular visitors, though I know myself and Herr Pauli fall into that category. As such, this is dedicated to our mate Pauli...


Plenty more Soft Machine to follow, including a 1969 Lyceum gig... plus Jeff Beck, the final Bluebeat Singles (Vol 25) & loads more cross genre quality sounds!
