 Topic: What are you Listening to Right Now? Febus XVI
Posted: August 18 2015 at 07:35 |
Post what you're listening to at the moment. You should already know what to do by now.
Seems like it's a tradition to kick off the thread with a Soft Machine album.. Even though I haven't had the chance to know Febus I wouldn't skip an opportunity to listen to a Soft Machine album 
I'm gonna start it off with my favorite of the Softs

Good idea. I was just thinking that when the old one went over 500 pages. It does seem to be a tradition.

Oh, Sam, if only that album was instrumental, or had vocals that weren't pained, flat amd weezy.... Sadly, I find it all but unlistenable because of not liking Wyatt's vocals on that one. I know I'm in a minority not enjoying it, but thank goodness the music is cool, though.

^ I don't like the vocals either, but the rest is quite good I still find easier to tolerate his vocals than Peter Hammill's

Hmmm, now there's a question I've never asked myself - who's voice can I put up with more, Robert Wyatt or Peter Hammill?!   I definitely prefered Soft Machine when they ditched the vocals, although I agree with you that the rest is really good, very imaginative and daring psych rock. Wyatt (vocally) is definitely a struggle for me a lot of the time. I can bear him a little more on Matching Mole, but I don't like his appearance on the first Hatfield and the North album, and it's stopped me looking into his solo works. I've never even heard `Rock Bottom', which is meant to be a Canterbury classic, because I don't want to hear more of his vocals. A bloody impressive drummer, though!
