...don't you just love them?

Live BBC album of SOFT MACHINE announced in 1993 "BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert". It is a live board recorded on March 11, 1971 when "4" was announced. The sound is SOFT MACHINE at time when it devoted exactly oneself to the free jazz of "4". Jazz-rock that excels, and is clear to record finishes overall being skilled.

What a gem. Long live the transl-o-matic power!

I don't know what translation software he uses, but what worries me is that they're starting to make sense now.

Yes, I love them too but he's not the only one to use an automatic translator.

Judging by the number of reviews he must have a huge music collection too.

What I like the most of his reviews is that they're all 90% the same review

I mean just delete Soft Machine and add Pink Floyd and *voila* then you have made a new fresh review with deep insight and creativity!

Pat yourself on the shoulder

I demand that Braindamage is made a special collaborator now!

I would like to be able to see all his reviews together on one convenient page.

But one thing one can't blame him for is that he have a name that's suitable

Try taking an existing review, translating it to another language and then back to English ....

I'll try, I'll start with one of the Braindamage reviews (only the best works with swedish).

PINK FLOYD Dark Side of the Moon
Review by Krauthead @ 12:30:43 PM , 09/29/2005
5 stars  —  I do not understand why this record still sells to a mass ethnic between all these years. How as entire pieces, I understand that the content of this album is perfect. “The great gig in the sky” is my favourite tune. There exists some to be astonished over the song's attitude in this tune.
 
 
 
Special thanks to Braindamage for helping me out with this

I believe he is from Japan.

I try to be as fair as possible reviews like those of BD. I do not delete them simply because they are a bit hard to understand, he does at least try. I do have to apply the same standerds for BD as I do for everyone else though. If the review does not comply with the guidelines, i will deal with it (and have done so already with someWink).

This systransoft site is great.

I translated a bit of my Big Generator review from English to French and then back to English again. It went from this

I'm submitting this to fight back on behalf of the much-maligned Big Generator. Let's look at the tracks 1. Rhythm Of Love (4:49) - good orchestral opening, but an average Rabin-era song. 2. Big Generator (4:31) - don't like this, especially the discordant chorus. 3. Shoot High Aim Low (7:59) - a bit of a slow one, good drumming from Alan. 4. Almost Like Love (5:58) - speeds things up, do I detect a Motown influence here? 5. Love Will Find A Way (4:48) - now things get interesting. This is one of the best Rabin songs

to this

I subject this to the combat behind in the name of the large much-defamed generator. Let us look at ways 1. Rate/rhythm of the good orchestral opening of the love (4:49) -, but an average song of Rabin-era. 2. The large generator (4:31) - do not like this, particularly the unmatched chorus. 3. Draw bottom high from goal (7:59) - a little slow, good tambourinage of Alan. 4. Almost like things speeds of the love (5:58) - upwards, do I detect an influence of Motown here? 5. The love will find things in a manner (4:48) - now become interesting. It is one of the best songs of Rabin.

I particularly like the way drumming becomes "tambourinage" and "Shoot High Aim Low" becomes "Draw bottom high from goal". Genius.

That's ok, atleast he review albums

Well I've tried some programs out now and I have to blame some of them, babelfish is sh*t btw... possibly the most known outthere but it can't do it right.

Maybe this is the reason why some of the reviews looks rather odd?
