Soft_Machine Hovikodden 4CD Robert_Wyatt Hugh_Hopper
Soft Machine's 'classic quartet’ captured on its final European tour on two consecutive nights on February 27 and 28, 1971. 
 
Subtly remastered, the result is, in the words of the late Michael King (who released the Sunday concert on his Reel Recordings label in 2009), “Demonstrably the finest recording of the classic Soft Machine quartet ever committed to tape."
