One Night Stand

This is the best release I've heard in ages. The Producer the late Mike King, actually made me a personal copy before he died and raved about it. I loved it! And this official release of it is cleaned up even more. Kudos to everyone at Gonzo Media who had a part in its release. This is some of the best playing by these four guys I've ever heard. And though it is mastered from a cassette recording it is pretty damn good audio-wise. I know Mike told me he worked very very hard on this one! RIP my friend, another one of your Masters that is. . .Masterful!! My friend Richard Sinclairs bass playing on this is absolutely fantastic. And Robert and never sounded this good on drums. .

A soundboard-quality live recording, cleaned up by Mike King, with all four members in top form. This is apparently the last recording Wyatt made as a drummer before his accident in 1973, so his mastery of the drum kit is on full display here. (No singing, unfortunately, except for some mouth noises at the beginning.) McRae is on fire, as he always seemed to be, and Windo brings his usual berserker tenor sax to the party. (But he also knows when to be quiet, just as important for improvised music like this.) Richard Sinclair holds down the bass, a little out of his league but providing solid accompaniment. And it was his cassette machine that this was recorded on, so bless him for bringing it along.

Truly amazing wonderful document: Richard Sinclair gets drafted And comes to put his professional cassette tape recorder in the back. Please: If you are a Caravan Soft Machine Egg Hatfield Health Nucleus Matching Gong Wyatt intelligence do not miss out on this. I have explained to other intelligences: God likes this music. Here's proof. Of course nobody flipped the cassette. Happened to me in Rome 1983 live Mike Oldfield with Maddy Prior and who knows who else.

Love Robert Wyatt, Matching Mole, Gary Windo, Soft Machine? This is for you.

This grouping anticipates the aborted Matching Mole Mk.II lineup which never got off the ground due to Wyatt's accident. The reformed Matching Mole was to include Wyatt, McRae, and Windo with bassist Bill MacCormick from the original Matching Mole.

If only there were more recordings available by WMWM / WMWS. They were a great, if short-lived, group. Why doesn't someone issue the BBC session WMWM did years ago?

Expected a little more? A little disappointed worth its place here ' ..Phil (shani''s partner)

El disco que nos ocupa, grabado en Londres en 1973 en una cinta que por fin vió la luz en 2015, gracias a la publicación de Gonzo Multimedia, es una actuación en directo en formación de Cuarteto, con una alineación de lujo como es la formada por Robert Wyatt a la Batería y Voz, Dave McRae a los Teclados, Richard Sinclair al Bajo y Gary Windo al Saxo Tenor.Si bien nos gustaría que la calidad de sonido fuese otra, estamos ante una actuación memorable, puro exponente de la Improvisación dentro del Sonido Canterbury, que por momentos nos hace recordar a los genuinos Soft Machine, quien sabe si por la influencia de Wyatt, que en esta actuación brilla como el gran Baterista que fué, uno de los mejores hasta su trágico accidente en este mismo año 73.Y pasando a los otros miembros de la Sesión, McRae está en las teclas soberbio, manejando el piano eléctrico sin dejar fisuras e improvisando como corresponde a una Sesión como esta. Igualmente Richard Sinclair con el Bajo cumple las expectativas a la perfección, si bien por la calidad de la grabación, por desgracia pasa más desapercibido. Y el más destacado quizás sea Windo, que maneja el Tenor de una forma libre, improvisando siempre, pero sin perder la estela del Grupo, perfecto.Muy recomendable.

Un disco per amatori ed appassionati di Robert Wyatt. Certamente non il suo migliore ma è la testimonianza del brevissimo periodo post Matching Mole e prima del grave incidente che lo ha costretto sulla sedia a rotelle.Tutto okottimo acquisto

5 étoiles pour les inconditionnels de Wyatt,dont je suisBeaucoup moins pour les néophytes,qui risquent d'être déroutés,voire complètement bloqués par cette impro un peu déjantéeQu'ils aillent se familiariser avec ce musicien hors pair(et hors norme)avec ses grands classiques,comme Rock Bottom
