Norway Feb 1971. Tight improvisations free and using as launch pads the compositions you know. Please Do No Miss this. Am trying to get a second copy - but the app won't let me: Help! Recorded in a perfect acoustic environment. Audience in shock. Top of the line tape and tape recorder. Straight Norge engineer. Incredible.Two Cds of concert. One if some kind of SM sound samplesPs additional: A vinyl version has just been released. Having turntable, Chinese amp and other issues I am not able to get the Audiophile vinyl. Soft Heads, moonjunistas, Canterbury fans ( if some originals STILL Don't like the moniker ... sorry 😊. Jimi was a fan- I understand . And there is very high quality Canterbury from India to Australia to JAHpan: Don't tell them please.) ZolarCzakl4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage SoftsReviewed in the United States on January 1, 2010Verified PurchaseThis is another interesting document of the 'classic' Soft Machine lineup (Mike Ratledge, Robert Wyatt, Hugh Hopper & Elton Dean). The sound quality is very good considering it was recorded on a reel-to-reel machine at 7.5 ips. It contains some of the music from Third and Fourth . As indicated by other reviewers, there are two music CD's and a CDROM with information about the group and the gig. The inner sleeve contains a short blurb from an individual who attended the concert and called it a 'life altering experience'. As a fan who can never get enough Soft Machine, I highly recommend this set.14 people found this helpful Steven Moore5.0 out of 5 stars Northern ExposuresReviewed in the United States on December 11, 2009Verified PurchaseIf you're asking yourself if you need to buy yet another live Soft Machine album--seems like there's a new one every year--the answer in this case is yes, mostly because of the superior sonic quality. This sounds like it was carefully recorded in a studio, not taped live in Norway, except that Dean's saxes aren't quite as forward in the mix as they might be. Each disc contains one long, 40-minute track--there are no song titles, though it's the same repertoire SM was playing in early 1971--with an encore on the second disk. The first set is meditative, exploratory, taking more liberty than usual with the melodies, and includes one of Dean's most demented saxello solos during "Slightly All the Time." The second set/disk is a little more aggressive, and features a some singing by Wyatt (not a song, just scatting). There's also a CD-ROM enclosed with some documentary material. So yes, if you're a Machinehead, you need to buy this.11 people found this helpful Joseph L. Kolb5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic setReviewed in the United States on December 11, 2009Verified Purchaseyes, another live soft machine cd (actually 3 discs). and yes, it is another flawless set with ratledge, dean, hopper and wyatt. the recording is top quality and beautifully recorded. it's amazing this stuff is being released now, rather than when it first was done. maybe the band would of made some money. if there is a complaint, it is the shortness of time. disc 1 is 33 minutes and 2 is 52 minutes. and would of like more liner notes too. other than that, if you liked soft machine third, then this disc is definately for you!9 people found this helpful Arturs Kalnins5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fantastic sounding recording of the "classic quartet" Soft Machine around ...Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2017This is a fantastic sounding recording of the "classic quartet" Soft Machine around the time the 4th LP was released. The material comes from the 3rd and 4th LPs, and even "All White" from 5 makes an appearance. All the instruments are clearly audible and well balanced.
