Soft Machine by another name,
By A Customer
This review is from: Smoke Signals (Audio CD)
As the punning name suggests ("soft machine" is "machine moelleux" in French), Matching Mole is how Soft Machine might have evolved had drummer/vocalist Robert Wyatt stayed with his former group. By the time Smoke Signals and its companion release, March, were recorded in concert, Matching Mole was an outstanding performance unit that excelled in extended improvisational pieces. I think these two recently released live albums demonstrate the musical excellence of Matching Mole even better than the two studio albums that were released back in the day. Highly recommended.

Rare Live Mole!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Smoke Signals (Audio CD)
What a treat it is to have live evidence of one of the quirkiest, unfulfilled and most short-lived bands in the whole prog-rock arena. The recordings are surprisingly good, and the playing is considerably harder-edged than their studio recordings.A very nice package too.

Sufficient Strong Smoke Signal,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Smoke Signals (Audio CD)
Live performance of their past releases. Again the instrumentation is brilliant very hard to discern whether they are going by the notes or an absolute improvised and impromptu jam. The sound quality is powerfully clear and crisp. The art work and wealth of information found on the booklet adds up to the satisfaction. Very nice packaging indeed. Robert Wyatt and his crew are beyond expectation in this record. The title smoke signal is very unique that precisely encapsulates the whole album. The music is left for the listener to distinguish the abstract from the concrete, to create such signals as a performance with sounds for the band. Very deep but comprehensible. If you would like to have a best of collection and not to spend on the other expensive albums this is sufficient. Robert Wyatt is very innovative not only in music but also in appropriate and musically related titles like The end of the *EAR,*ROCK Bottom", "Little Red *RECORD" and this album smoke *SIGNALS.
