Smoke Signals

by Matching Mole

supported by

John Cratchley With the publication of Marcus O'Dair's new Robert Wyatt biography,now seems to be the perfect time to revisit these wonderful 'Machine Molle' recordings...Wyatt in his pataphysical prime (maybe,perhaps,possibly). Whimsical nonsense and wonderful musicianship combine in the quintessence of 'Englishness'...tiddly pom!

about

Smoke Signals compiles all previously unreleased performances - selected & sequenced by Robert Wyatt biographer Mike King - from the band's most intense gigging period. The set list is mostly drawn from Little Red Record, but the way the band performed the pieces live is quite different from the heavily overdubbed versions found on the studio disc. Despite their very short lifetime, Mole developed an individual sound based on the players idiosyncratic musical styles, that was a unique take on fusion and Canterbury musics.
