A fine offering from the excellent "Cuneiform" label which combines an excellent CD, -a 1970 concert with superb sound quality- and a fantastic DVD. The concert CD shows the band at its peak, the performance is excellent and the sound is awesome, perfectly balanced and with a superb presence.

The DVD is a 1971 performance filmed in multi-camera at the German TV. The band is still at its peak, and features Wyatt. The sound is as good as the CD, and the picture quality is fantastic as well! Moreover, some psychedelic effects are displayed in the background, and it becomes even more impressive with the very intense Wyatt singing part. An absolute must-have at all levels; this movie is just 20 minutes of heaven for any Soft machine fan.
