Kevin Ayers is
one of UK rock's greatest contributors, both as a key member of Soft
Machine as their original bassist/vocalist, and later as a collaborator
with noted prog musicians Mike Oldfield and Steve Hillage. This is a
collection of recently-discovered private demo recordings and out-takes
straight from Kevin Ayers' personal archives -- a refreshing reminder of
a musical innocence unique to the 1970s. Much more than nuggets from a
golden era, these songs remain compellingly personal in their
simplicity, and sit alongside sunny instrumentals featuring friends
David Bedford, Mike Oldfield, Archie Leggett and Robert Wyatt.
Of special note is the 14-minute private demonstration for the "Doctor
Dream"suite, a stunning "audio letter" synopsis with acoustic
performances and wry commentary. Never has Kevin Ayers' voice and guitar
been captured in such natural intimacy. These beautifully recorded
reel-to-reel tapes are an indispensable portrait of an artist as a young
man. Or to convey the response from manager Tim Shepard, "this is
Kevin's Holy Grail!" What more can we say?
