(2022) Soft Machine - Facelift France and Holland




Review:
Soft Machine‘s French
tours of late 1969 and early 1970 have been the subject of several releases, official and otherwise. Some, including
Voiceprint’s Facelift, were drawn from hopelessly dodgy audience recordings and are, despite being licensed, simply
substandard bootlegs. Others, such as Cuneiform’s Noisette, offer carefully curated performances using the best
sources possible. The three-disc Facelift France & Holland adds another dimension to Cuneiform’s curatorial excavation
of Soft Machine’s history. Though the band had toured France at the end of 1969 as a septet with a brass section, they
were a quintet in early 1970 when they returned to complete the 30-date tour. In addition to drummer Robert Wyatt,
bassist Hugh Hopper, saxophonistElton Dean, and keyboardist Mike Ratledge, the Softs brought English saxophonist Lyn
Dobson along. The first disc replicates the Paris performance. While the mix is a bit thin in places, the sound remains
detailed and dynamic. In addition to scorching versions of “Mousetrap,” “Eamonn Andrews,” and “Noisette,”
this is the only professionally recorded performance available of “Out-Bloody-Rageous” with Dobson. There is one
caveat: the full version of Ratledge’s killer “Slightly All the Time” sounds less than optimal. Along with almost
half of the second set, it was left out of the edited broadcast. An audience recording of the tune has been inserted
back into this performance for historical significance, but this is a tiny quibble. The second disc contains Soft
Machine’s Concertgebouw appearance in Amsterdam that January. Its source is an unusually clean soundboard tape. In
addition to a moody, sinister opening reading of “Facelift,” it features a true rarity in
