Soft Mountain - Soft Mountain - Hux Records 2003

After leaving Soft Machine, Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper tried to recreate groups in the same spirit like Soft Head or Soft Heap. All of these groups were interesting but none of them managed to reach the level of energy and creativity of Soft Machine Third. When I first listened to Soft Mountain I immediately felt that the energy of this band and its power was clearly close to the great era of Soft Machine even though the music is different. Tatsuya Yoshida and Hugh Hopper are particularly impressive during this powerful session.


-Part 1 : 30.40 mn
-Part 2 : 27.55 mn


-Hugh Hopper : bass
-Tatsuya Yoshida : drums
-Hoppy Kamiyama : keyboards 
-Elton Dean : alto saxophone, saxcello
