Soft Machine Het Turfschip, Breda, The Netherlands; 1971




Soft Machine

Live at Het Turfschip, Breda, The Netherlands; March 15, 1971
(some list this as March 21, 1971).

Good to very good soundboard.

Here’s some cutting edge prog rock/avant jazz (?) that’s still as biting today
as it was then.

TomP notes:

I’ve retracked the post by Patabubu (to the details from urich21) and done
quite a lot of remastering.

I had thought I’d finished, but then I found an excellent noise print that not
only allowed good reduction of noise, hum and the annoying clicking on the
left channel, but also IMHO significantly improved the stereo image
(the echoplexes are now audible) and the harsh sound (mentioned in OP comments)
in high level parts is much improved.

It is a super performance and probably the best quality of the recent early
1971 posts - again making one sad that this great music was apparently hated by
3/4 of this band and the cause of their split just a few months later.
