A great, crystal clear, radio performance recording from Basel in Switzerland, in front of a small but ,eventually, enthusiastic audience. Lots of amusing stage banter, and a great set from this ignored This Heat spin off;.......as has been said, its more of a Matching Mole/Soft Machine relationship to their former band, than an actual continuation. There's also an interesting interview tacked on, which gives a overview of Stephen Rickard's 'Machine', which was basically a cassette version of the Mellotron,and a precursor to the sampler.

Thank you!!
thank you! camberwell now were a great band.. as far as i remember mr. rickard was also the producer of "ossification" (officer!).
Thanks again. Someone needs to remind Scanner about that '82 recording he's got--my guess (another one) would be that C. Bullen still played with them at that time.
Also--
Some pics and an essay (originally in ReR Quarterly) on S. Rickard's tape switchboard:
