Hi all,
Sorry for the delay between issues... I think most of you
don't mind anyway, most of us are having our summer break, aren't
we? Anyway, I'd delayed this issue as I'd planned to write a few
CD reviews but I guess these will have to wait until the next one.
These include the Softs CDs discussed below, which Brian Hopper
has been kind enough to send me copies of, and new releases by
Happy Accidents (a large ensemble led by ex-Wilde Flower Graham
Flight) and Brian's collaboration with Robert Fenner.
Last but not least - in almost exactly two weeks, the
second edition of the Canterbury Sound Festival will take place.
Having attended the first one, I urge everyone to be there! I'm
not sure if I'll be able to make it myself, but I'm sure you'll
all have a great time!
Aymeric

Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 09:16:42 +0200
Dear Aymeric,
I'd like to respond to Andy's complaints in the last WR. I
haven't heard or seen 'Turns On' Vol. 1 and 2 either, but I felt
the same as Andy after I bought the entire 'Canterburied Sounds'
(vol. 1-4) and, again, after buying 'Man in a deaf corner'. In
fact, it turns out that I have listened to these CDs only once and
stored them in my collection. Apparently, 'Turns on' will be even
worse.
Just like Andy I fear that these CDs can do harm to the
reputation of the artists whose work is represented so poorly. I'm
afraid these CDs are only released to earn money from die-hard
Canterbury/Soft Machine fans. Can we do anything, as a group of
people united through this list, to stop Voiceprint or Mooncrest,
or whoever is ripping us off?
Do not understand me wrong: Voiceprint have also issued
quite a few very interesting archival releases (e.g., Slapp Happy
- Camera and the Wilde Flowers album) and also their catalogue of
new and re-releases contains very interesting stuff - e.g., old
and new albums by Hugh Hopper, John Greaves, Elton Dean, Dagmar
Krause, and so on].
Best wishes

[I have a couple of comments to make on this. First of
all, if someone is to be "blamed" for these CDs, it should not
just be some "greedy label", since the releases you mention were
conceived and prepared by musicians - in this case Brian Hopper -
with, I believe, the permission of the other musicians concerned.
Although Daevid Allen's message below seems to contradict this
assumption in the case of 'Turns On'. Anyway, I personally think
these releases would do much less harm to non-diehard followers
(who may buy these CDs thinking they are retrospectives of
material taken from studio albums) if, as I said in the previous
issue, mention was made on the cover of the below-standard sound
quality of the recordings. - AL]

[The following is a message sent by Daevid Allen to
various people, including me, after being forwarded Andy Gee's
message in WR#185 - AL]
Dear Andy Gee,
Thanks for your letter and I agree with your feelings
100%. In an ideal world, business people would take pride in
integrity & quality of product. In this world of the
military/industrial corporate morality it is common practice to
cash in on the good name of fundamentally good natured groups and
make a quick killing with a run of 500 or 1000 & vanish. Sound
business acumen it's called.
Truly cynical labels take pride in never paying royalties,
holding these monies as a slush fund to defend themselves with
bodyguards & a fortress of jackal lawyers.
Speaking as an original member of Soft Machine I fully
support you in addressing your issues to the labels concerned -
for the responsibility is theirs.
The idea that somehow some or any of the musicians
involved benefit from releases such as these is as far fetched as
a balinese basketweaver having some sort of royalty percentage or
some degree of quality control over their basket at the point of
its final sale in a fashionable Parisian boutique.
The Music Business in my experience mostly does everything
it can to reduce or eliminate completely the need to pay the
original creators of the product they sell.
It is a point of pride with this breed to outwit artists
who are mostly not specialists in business but specialists in
music. Thus the artist is penalized unfairly. This however is the
system in use.
Labels rise & fall and sell their stock onwards to a
point way beyond the artist's knowledge or control.
If I had any power regarding these recordings being on
sale, I would use that energy to withdraw & destroy this
material and refund you doubly- once for your material loss and a
second time to reward you for your active discernment.
Finally, I can only apologise (on behalf of all bands
caught with their pants down & soft machines out) for those
people in the market place who destroy our credibility while
claiming to represent us. I swear I did not have sex with that
A&R person!
I trust that we can all say the same.
Yours,
Daevid Allen

I saw Arzachel mentioned in here and I was wondering if
you could assist me by pointing me in the direction to find the
words to 'Clean Innocent Fun' by Dave Stewart/Steve Hillage's old
band Arzachel, I have the CD & LP but no lyrics!
Thanks Charlie
[I would have liked to help Charlie with this but I must
confess my attempt at transcribing these lyrics has been rather
pathetic. There must be about 3 or 4 lines in the whole song that
I can make out... And this goes for much of the rest of the CD.
Anyone who's willing to take up the challenge is welcome to do so!

Greetings, Aymeric!
Just got back from a vacation in England and I wanted to
share some info with your readers. I was astounded with the
vibrant London jazz scene and especially the number of
Canterbury-related artists who are performing regularly.
I caught a wonderful gig with John Etheridge's quartet
(more about that in my next posting) and I picked up a copy of
"Jazz in London" which is a free gig listing (web site is
www.jazz-in-britain.com).
In July & August alone the following are/will be
playing: Theo Travis Quartet, Phil Lee, Jimmy Hastings, Django
Bates, Tony Coe, Carol Grimes Band, and lots of Etheridge. Trevor
Tompkins is also active on the jazz scene. Many of the gigs are
free as well!
Just wanted you to know that many of these musicians are
quite active and are quite accessible in the London area.
Regards, David

Well thanks to those who said that a non "formal" edition
of Maya would be acceptable now that we have decided not to
release the 1000 copies planned due to recording difficulties at
Voiceprint's end of the line. A question of standards huh?
We will be contacting you as soon as copies have been
made. As soon as the Allen cognoscenti who have asked for Maya
copies have been supplied. In all probability we will not burn any
more. So no matter what the condition of the recording, it will be
very rare indeed..
OK, those who do not want copies, and who wish for a
return of any monies, must say.
Thanks.

Hi, folks:
The latest Artist Shop newsletter is out and you'll find
it in its entirety
at <http://www.artist-shop.com/news.htm>.
Meanwhile, here are some excerpts
for Canterbury fans.
New releases from Voiceprint
<http://www.artist-shop.com/voiceprt>
John Etheridge/Ash
John Etheridge has been at the top of the jazz and
contemporary guitar world for over 25 years. His background
includes stints with Darryl Way's Wolf, Soft Machine and Stephane
Grapelli. His career has also included touring and recording with
many great musicians including Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Dizzy
Gillespie, Miroslav Vitous, Tony Williams, Pat Metheny, John
Williams, Nigel Kennedy and Andy Summers. 'Ash' was recorded
in 1992 and is now made available on compact disc with new artwork
on the new Jazzprint label. This quartet led release sees
Etheridge embrace a number of idioms, including acoustic,
classical, jazz - rock fusion and cover versions. All emphasise
his all round playing ability, highlighting influences for Django
Reinhardt to John McLaughlin. Line Up - John Etheridge - guitars;
Steve Franklin - keyboards; Henry Thomas - bass; Dudley Phillips -
double bass; Mark Fletcher - drums
soundbite -
<http://www.artist-shop.com/voiceprt/ash.ram>
Brian Hopper, Robert Fenner/Virtuality
Brian Hopper has played saxophone with The Wilde Flowers,
Soft Machine, Zobe, Beggars Farm and others. More recently he has
taken an interest in getting to grips with music sequencing on the
computer and has written some new material partially using his
earlier jazz and rock roots which also reflect ethnic music and
synthesised sounds. Robert Fenner had played with 'Runestone'
which had a somewhat new age-ist appellation and he was keen to
include jazz inflenced saxophone into his ambient music. Brian and
Robert then proceeded to make 'Virtuality' which they describe as
a musical journey, a sort of imaginary Cook's tour with
suggestions of exotic locations blended into the soundscape. There
are also the jazzier, rhythmic elements, which provide a contrast,
and serve to anchor the exotic into a space that is perhaps
unexpected. Some of the music is also designed to relax by,
incorporating as it does biorhythmic factors that harmonise with
essential elements of our own organic functions. The rock jazz
fusion will appeal to soft machine fans who will also appreciate
the lovingly chosen artwork.

<http://www.artist-shop.com/voiceprt/virtuali.ram>
Andrew Downes/Concerto for Two Guitars
The Concerto for Guitar, Bass Guitar and Strings by Andrew
Downes was commissioned by the two eminent guitarists Simon
Dinnigan (acoustic guitar) and Fred T. Baker playing on a fretless
electric bass guitar, breaking new ground in bringing this 'rock'
instrument into a 'classical' medium. They are accompanied on the
CD by players who are mainly from the City of Birmingham Symphony
Orchestra. This new release comprises the first recording of
Andrew Downes' Concerto for Guitar, Bass Guitar and Strings, and
Cool Largo by the same composer, the Usher Waltz for solo guitar
by Koshkin, and three exciting transcriptions of works by Bach and
Mozart. These latter works show the two soloists, Simon Dinnigan
and Fred T Baker at their most brilliantly virtuosic. The Concerto
derives much of its influence from rock music and jazz, but at the
same time there are strong elements of non-western (particularly
African and Native-American) melodic and rhythmic styles blended
with sounds from European renaissance, medieval and folk music. It
represents, in musical terms, a real fusion of many different
cultures. After its first performance in Birmingham in 1997, the
Birmingham Post critic wrote "Andrew Downes' Concerto was full of
delightful music."

Happy Accidents/Scitatics
The legendary Canterbury Music scene is alive and well
with The Happy Accidents. The band was instigated by Graham Flight
the brilliant musician formerly of the Wilde Flowers. Not only did
Happy Accidents give concerts, they also performed theatrical
improvised radio plays! Operas without words! The band members
have always had a wonderful sense of camaraderie and have never
taken themselves too seriously injecting plenty of humour and
weirdness into both their music and live gigs. Increasingly the
sounds made by conventional instrumentation were becoming blurred
as they experimented and incorporated modern electronic sounds and
devices into their music. This lack of distinction began to be
apparent with the release of their CD 'Phenomenon' in 1998, and
has continued with this latest release 'Scitatics'. This album
contains structured songs interspersed with many moments of
ordered mayhem and with sonic textures blending and distorting the
traditional instrument sounds with those produced by modern
technology. Graham's keyboard playing is at its best with the
combined talents of Alexi Nonis (guitar) Marvernie Fuller,
(vocals), Will Glanfield (sax, clarinet), Mick Grierson (guitar),
Nigel Hobbins (bass), Robert Jarvis (trombone), Neil Sloman
(soprano & tenor saxes) and Matt Williamson (drums). This
line-up results in a synthesis of the many musical styles which
have evolved into this complex, rhythmic, multi-layered music.
Lovingly chosen artwork makes this album a real gem for followers
of the Canterbury Scene. Another fan of the band is the great
Robert Wyatt who upon hearing 'Scitatics' for the first time
announced "I want to be in that band!" - so knocked out was he by
the rhythmic precociousness of what was happening.

Coming soon from Voiceprint
<http://www.artist-shop.com/voiceprt>
John Greaves/The Caretaker
John Greaves has had a long and distinguished career
having been a member of Henry Cow and later becoming a highly
respected composer and solo artist. 'The Caretaker' is John's
brand new studio album and is a follow up to 'Songs'. This new
album not only has songs written by John but also by Peter Blegvad
(Slapp Happy ) and Andy Partridge (XTC).
John Greaves/On the Street Where You Live
John Greaves has had a long and distinguished career
having been a member of Henry Cow and later becoming a highly
respected composer and solo artist. 'On The Street Where You Live'
consists of some beautiful romantic and well known melodies which
John sings with all the style and class of an accomplished
crooner!! This album will appeal to a wide audience with these
well known songs which have been well arranged by John. The
romantic atmosphere is enhanced by the French pianist Marcel
Ballot and guitarist Patrice Meyer who provide a great background
to John's distinct voice. With exquisite artwork this classy album
will be welcomed by John's many fans as well as well as those who
love the popular and timeless songs he sings.
Didier Malherbe/Bloom
Founder member of Gong, Didier Malherbe became renowned
for his brilliant saxophone playing and the band's performances
with Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth were always packed with
appreciative and enthusiastic fans. Didier formed his own group
Bloom in 1977 and looked for musicians in Paris and the result was
a brilliant blend of talents. Yan Emeric Vagh was a young
guitarist with a very original style on both acoustic and electric
guitars. Mico Nissim played piano and mini-moog and Didier was
later to participate in the ten-piece band 'Decaphonie' which Mico
formed after he performed in the O.N.J. (Orchestre National de
Jazz). The drummer Jano Padovani, was quite at ease with odd
rhythms whilst Peter Kimberley, a British Parisian
(ex-Bachdenkel), played a 6-stringed bass on 'Whiskers'. On this
album Didier not only performs brilliantly on the saxophone and
flute but also sings. This is the first time that Bloom is
available on CD and will appeal not only to the extensive Gong
following but also to fans of the Canterbury Scene.
Didier Malherbe/Faton Bloom
Didier Malherbe was not only a founder member of Gong but
has a reputation as a brilliant saxophonist and highly acclaimed
jazz musician. Gong and the group Magma, had the same tour
management and were often sharing the bill and sometimes jammed
together. It was through these arrangements that Didier teamed up
with the original pianist of Magma, Francois "Faton" Cahen. In
1984 they formed the Faton-Bloom group along with Eric Bedoucha, a
jazz-rock drummer originally from North Africa, bass guitarist
Remy Sarrazin and percussionist Roger Raspail, from Guadeloupe.
The group toured extensively and successfully in France until the
late 1980's, during which time they gathered a large following of
dedicated and loyal fans.
Soft Machine/Soft Machine Turns On Volume 1
Robert Wyatt (formerly of the Wilde Flowers) and Mike
Ratledge, along with Kevin Ayers and Deavid Allen had formed a
band called Mister Head which was later to become Soft Machine.
The musicians along with Brian and Hugh Hopper, were to become the
core of the Canterbury Music Scene. In 1967 Soft Machine became
established on London's growing psychedelic club scene and their
distinctive style was emerging having been influenced by modern
jazz, R&B and twentieth century European music. The repertoire
in that year consisted mainly of original songs written for the
Wilde Flowers by Hugh Hopper, Brian Hopper and Kevin Ayers. Many
of these songs can be heard on this album and in some cases there
is more than one version included to show both the musical
development of the band and also to contrast their greater
emotional intensity in which they imbued their live performances.
The source material was by and large from recordings taken in
unfavourable conditions with basic equipment designed for private
use but due to the huge Soft Machine following and the rarity of
professionally made recordings during this period it is worth
overcoming the shortcomings of the sound quality. The daring
blending of musical forms and the energy which combine to yield
sounds not heard of in other bands of this era will make this a
must for fans of the Canterbury Music Scene.
Soft Machine/Soft Machine Turns On Volume 2
This album is a continuation of Soft Machine Turns On
Volume 1. As the year 1967 progressed so did the musical exposure
of Soft Machine and their shows incorporated full audio-visual
experiences of the time to include light displays. It is these
shows from which the tracks on volume 2 are taken. The songs
incorporate the works of Kevin Ayers, Hugh and Brian Hopper and
there are pieces by Mike Ratledge and Robert Wyatt which would
later flourish into extended suites and form the backbone of their
live recordings and concerts. During 1967, Australian Daevid Allen
was forced to leave the band due to an expired passport but he was
later to form Gong. Soft Machine continued as a trio until Andy
Summers joined them as guitarist for the American tour in 1968
where the band were the support for Jimi Hendrix. It was after
this tour that Hugh Hopper rejoined the band with Kevin leaving,
and Soft Machine then entered it's classic phase. This album
captures Soft Machine prior to its classic period with a
distinctive style created by Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers from the
Wilde Flowers along with Daevid Allen and Mike Ratledge. The band
indulged in considerable improvisation with long continuous sets
sometimes ear splittingly loud. Some brilliant tracks with stylish
artwork which will be a must for followers of the Canterbury Music
Scene.
Howard Riley & Keith Tippett/Interchange - The Bern
Concert
Howard's influences include Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk and
Art Tatum and he first started recording with that other doyen of
Free Jazz, Keith Tippett in the eighties. Two recordings were
released, "First Encounter" on Impetus and "In Focus" on Affinity.
The Bern concert was recorded on December 8th 1993. The music is
completely unrehearsed and spontaneous and reflects the technical
skills and inventiveness of these two awesome musicians.
Murray Head/Sooner or Later
For Sooner or Later, Murray was locked away in a studio
for months on end with Steve Hillage and a sequencer to create
this album. Steve Hillage had not only played with Gong and System
7 but has also produced Simple Minds and It Bites. The line up on
this album is impressive and includes Jakko, Barbara Gaskin and
Dave Stewart (ex Egg, Hatfield And The North) on backing vocals.
Whilst Geoffrey Richardson from Caravan and Miquette Giraudy of
System 7 give their all on guitar and keyboards. With sleeve notes
written by Murray, the artwork is carefully chosen whilst the
album has been carefully mastered.
