Matching Mole (Robert Wyatt) - Matching Mole [Japanese Ed. 7 bonus tracks] (1972)

Label: Sony Music (Japan), SICP 30321
Style: Progressive Rock, Canterbury Scene
Country: Canterbury, England
Time: 80:16

Robert Wyatt (Soft Machine) - drums, voice, Mellotron, piano. David Sinclair (Caravan) - piano, Hammond organ. Bill MacCormick - bass. Phil Miller (Hatfield and the North) - guitar.
The opening track, "O Caroline," is indicative of Wyatt at his best: art rock with a human face, a playful vocal, and soul. Much of the record is instrumental improvisation, though, with the humor largely confined to the song titles ("Instant Pussy," "Dedicated to Hugh, But You Weren't Listening"). For every nifty passage (the extended melancholy Mellotron solo on "Immediate Curtain," the goofy scat vocals on "Signed Curtain"), there's equal or greater instrumental patter. Some art rock devotees really get behind this album, but it doesn't count among the more enduring statements by the Canterbury crowd.
