As the Soft Machine's first bassist and original principal songwriter, Kevin Ayers was an overlooked force
behind the group's groundbreaking recordings in 1967 and 1968. This, his solo debut, is so tossed-off
and nonchalant that one gets the impression he wanted to take it easy after helping pilot
the manic innovations of the Softs.It's no accident that some of the tracks recall early Soft Machine:
Robert Wyatt drums on most of the songs, and "Song for Insane Times" is virtually a bona fide
Soft Machine performance, featuring actual backing from the group itself. ...(AllMusic)
