TRIPLE ECHO never was released on CD
This original 3 LPs box-set which comes with a great, color photos book full of never seen before pictures, but the most interesting feature is the Canterbury family tree. Knowing the changes of line-ups between each Soft Machine album, building this tree should have been a huge task for its creator who allows you to link all the Canterbury bands with each other thanks to all those musicians moving from one band to another. A very nice historical document about the Canterbury musical scene indeed!
All different periods of SOFT MACHINE are not represented equally; The first 2 albums from the psychedelic vocal period takes a full LP. The THIRD era , their most successful commercial and artistic peak covers an LP all by itsef. The ''best'' moments of FOURTH anf FIFTH find a way to be on 1 side of the LP. But the JENKINS era is badly misrepresented as SIX, SEVEN, BUNDLES and SOFTS--4 albums--contain only one song of each
What makes this box set interesting is the addition of unreleased LP tracks being the first 4 songs were only available as singles a very long time ago in early 1967 at the time when DAEVID ALLEN (pre-GonG was with the band. Only a different version of the sweet haunting "MEMORIES" could previously be heard on the JET-PROPELLED PHOTOGRAPH, an album disappeared years ago. LOVE MAKES SWEET MUSIC is a nice typical song from this time , kind of commercial when a very young SOFT MACHINE was trying to reach the charts but with their very already peculiar way. Weirdness was not very far away as you hear on FEELIN, REELIN, SQUELLIN another unearthed gem.
LP 2 is where you will find other goodies. MOON IN JUNE is played differently in a shortened 13mns version; the band plays tighter, a lot of HOPPER fuzz bass, a great WYATT performance. There are also different versions of parts from THIRD. Excerpts from SLIGHTLY ALL THE TIME are taken of the suite and being given another musical treatment giving them their own particular personality. The sublime BACKWARDS is of course present as well, and a different jazzier version of ESTHER NOSE JOB from VOLUME 2.
Only the third LP doesn't bring anything new! 2 tunes from FOURTH are included. On the last side, and STANLEY STAMPS GIBBON ALBUM was the most representative song of SIX,
TRIPLE ECHO was issued as an overview of all SOFT MACHINE different musical phases, including FOURTH and as such , it succeeds very well. TRIPLE ECHO is a perfect introduction and essential collectible for the unreleased 'nuggets' and vintage never-seen photos.
There are some unheard jewels on this album.
