1975's SOFT MACHINE, featuring master Alan Holdsworth, represented the extreme north of jazz rock/fusion. The best soundboard album is now available. What is recorded in this work is “January 10, 1975 Enschede Performance (Netherlands)”. It is a stereo soundboard recording that pours the whole story into your brain. Speaking of SOFT MACHINE from the Holdsworth era, the only studio work is "BUNDLES", but official works such as "SWITZERLAND 1974" and "FLOATING WORLD LIVE" have been discovered as live albums, and "EARLY BUNDLES 1974" also reigns as a standard at our store. There is. This is also a good opportunity to look back at your schedule at the time and organize your collection. 1973《October “SEVEN” released》《November: Allan Holdsworth joined》・December 7th-23rd: UK (3 performances) 1974・January 3rd-February 4th: Europe #1 ( 19 performances) ・February 14th – May 1st: North America (23 performances) ←*EARLY BUNDLES 1974 ・May 11th – July 6th: Europe #2 (9 performances) ←*Official SWITZERLAND 1974《July “BUNDLES” production》・July 20th – November 27th: Europe #3/Tunisia (30 performances) 1975・January 9th – March 26th: Europe #4 (31 performances) ←★This work★ &Official FLOATING WORLD LIVE《“BUNDLES” released on March 22nd》《April: Allan Holdsworth leaves》This is the progress of the Holdsworth era. The lineup for the months of member changes (November 1973/April 1975) has been omitted because the lineup cannot be confirmed, but I think you can understand the general flow. As you can see, instead of the usual "BUNDLES announcement + tour", "BUNDLES" was finally released just before Holdsworth left the group. Among them, the Enschede performance of this work is the second performance of “Europe #4” which is the final stage. It was a concert two weeks before the official version of "FLOATING WORLD LIVE". This work recorded at such a show is a super direct sound board that is directly connected to and closely connected to Do. In any case, the cheers were only recorded as whispers in the distance, and the performance, which exposed the sounds of the instruments, was so thick that it got stuck in your brain. “FLOATING WORLD LIVE” which was close in time was also a direct connection system that seemed to be an excavation, but the sound was still organized like an official release, but there is no trace of that in this work. It is a live album that extremely emphasizes the characteristics of the so-called "direct-to-table" type. And, even more important than the sound is the length. Our "SYRACUSE 1974" and two official live albums are all one-of-a-kind pieces. On the other hand, this work allows you to enjoy a long live performance of about 90 minutes (+ 30 minutes of bonus track). In order to get a feel for its volume, let's compare it with the official version "FLOATING WORLD LIVE". BUNDLES・The Floating World/Bundles/Land Of The Bag Snake/The Man Who Waved At Trains/Peff/Hazard Profile Pt. 1/Hazard Profile Pt. 2-5 (★)/Four Gongs Two Drums (★) Others ・Ealing Comedy/North Point/Improv 1 (★)/Song Of Aeolus/Improv 2 (★) *Note: Songs marked with a "★" cannot be heard on the official version of "FLOATING WORLD LIVE." ...and it looks like this. After the production of "BUNDLES", all the songs except "Gone Sailing" were played in large quantities. The highlight is Omagari “Hazard Profile”. In “FLOATING WORLD LIVE”, Part 1 could be heard for just under 5 minutes, but in this work, it is recorded in full for about 20 minutes. The live main part of “Live Performance Version BUNDLES + α” alone is powerful, but this work also includes an additional valuable bonus sound board. This is an interview with Holdsworth and Mike Rutledge recorded on "November 3, 1974." It is a valuable track that talks about the situation at that time for a full 30 minutes with Dave DiMartino as a listener. In any case, the live performance that can be enjoyed with a long length of about 90 minutes and a direct connection to C is wonderful. It is a “live performance version of BUNDLES” and even more than that, it is a masterpiece of a live album. A historical masterpiece that goes beyond the subtext of "FLOATING WORLD LIVE" and boasts the same value as "BUNDLES". SOFT MACHINE only available at this time of year, where Holdsworth goes crazy. Stereo soundboard recording of "January 10, 1975 Enschede Performance". In any case, it's a super direct system that directly connects and closely connects the instrument sounds to your brain. More important than the sound is the length. All of the official live albums from the Holdsworth era are single pieces, but this work lasts about 90 minutes. The Omagari "Hazard Profile" is also included in its entirety for about 20 minutes, and all songs from "BUNDLES" except "Gone Sailing" are played in full. In addition, a 30-minute bonus of valuable interviews is included, making this the definitive edition of the ``live performance version of BUNDLES + α''.
