Excellent previously unreleased recordings from 1969-70 of earth-shattering English prog. Robert Wyatt led this band giving birth to all things technical and intense. For fans of early Zappa/Mothers jams, strange early Pink Floyd, bitches brew, King Crimson. Wyatt went on to do a quickie in the form of Matching Mole a record that the station amazingly has along with an excellent original Soft Machine catalog. Check it out if you don’t check this amazing cd out. Wyatt ended up falling off a balcony and becoming wheelchair bound in the mid 70’s, but continues to write and produce to this day, including super hip stuff on the Rough Trade label in the late 70’s.
