MATCHING MOLE : GLORIA GLOOM [MATCHING MOLE’S LITTLE RED RECORD, 1972]

1971. O Robert Wyatt εκδιώκεται από τους Soft Machine, οι οποίοι περνούν σε full instrumental mode.
Ο drummer – singer – songwriter θα δημιουργήσει την ίδια χρονιά τους
Matching Mole, μαζί με τους David Sinclair [Caravan] – όργανο, πιάνο, David MacRae – ηλ. πιάνο, Phil Miller – κιθάρα, Bill McCormick – μπάσο.
Το θρυλικό γκρουπ της σκηνής του Canterbury επρόκειτο να κυκλοφορήσει δυο άλμπουμ – η ηχογράφηση ενός τρίτου θα ακυρωνόταν λόγω του ατυχήματος που άφησε παράλυτο τον RW.
Ακούμε ένα κομμάτι από το δεύτερό τους, παραγωγός εδώ ο Robert Fripp.

1971.
Robert Wyatt is expelled from Soft Machine, who switch on full instrumental mode.
That very year, the drummer – singer – songwirter would form
Matching Mole, along with David Sinclair [Caravan] – organ, piano, David MacRae – el. piano, Phil Miller – guitar, Bill McCormick – bass.
The legendary Canterbury outfit was due to release two albums – a third recording was cancelled because of the accident that left RW paralyzed.
We hear a piece from their second album, produced by Robert Fripp.

Like so many of you
I’ve got my doubts about how much to contribute
To the already rich among us…
How long can I pretend that music’s more relevant
Than fighting for a socialist world?
Someone watching us – knows I’m bad
Black plastic along blue-black wall
Small square of places where dead men can look through
Run along and see the prison bar
Throw a stone across an empty road
You and your friend will be found
Outside the daydream
I’ve woken up to watch you sleep…
