Soft Machine - Dada Was Here

[@shelflife3867]

My God this still moves me to tears. Wyatt's voice and drumming , Hugh Hopper's fuzz bass, Mike's Piano . So Incredible. Is there anything as good as this? Not for me

[@ECKMABOHM]

I bought this Lp after listening to Third and I was hooked . Nearly twenty Songs in 33.44 Minutes , I could not believe it . I am bassplayer by myself and the Soft machine taught me the 7/4 Metrum .

100% agreed!

No shelf life there really isn't. Found this album back in 7th grade, nothing has topped it for me. The older I get the better it sounds

[@cynali231]

I was 14een years old...in France and this stuff was my holiday's stuf ...she called Yoka came from néerland ..i was fall in love ..and Soft Machine played every day ..

Great musicians.....once u get into them....they are always in your heart

Lyrics in spanish: ¿Por qué trabajas tú por allá? ¿Por qué no estás aquí en casa? La la la, yo no sé... sólo me pregunto ¿Por qué no soy feliz en la escuela? ¿Es que puedo confiar en alguien si no está? Yo no sé... sólo me pregunto ¿Es que puedo fumar cuando soy más viejo? ¿Es que puedo creer en el ídolo que queremos? ¿Dígame si es justo que no estés aquí? Para ayudarme, yo no sé, sólo me preguntan Yo no sé, no sé, no sé...

Classic album. Unique, avant-garde, still accessible pop. Got to love this "Summertime/My favorite things" outro on Dada. I wouldn't have minded a smoother transition with THIRD and towards jazz rock.

love the photo of the boys here, Mike Ratledge looking cool as ever

[@SgtCrumpet]

Robert Wyatt is a great singer, but his drumming skills really need to be commended.

[@LULLYxoxo]

Huge agree, I get so fixated on him when he's jamming on Moon in June

[@europeanson2775]

@@LULLYxoxo me too. Love his expression ♩ (anyway, I'd see you on many soft machine videos. If you want, you can check some rare band videos on my channel :,) Peace and love

[@andrewpaterson7577]

Indeed - and yet Soft Machine ended up firing him. What on earth were they thinking?

[@texcarson1792]

Robert wyatt the most underrated musician of all time.

[@heavenlymusiccorporationultd]

@@andrewpaterson7577it's a normal process within a band - Robert wanted to stick to vocals and song structures from time to time, while Hugh and Mike saw Soft Machine going more in the purist Jazz direction. But I also understood this only much later - never forget my disappointment when I went to a concert, to find out that Robert is no longer with them.

The photo is of the band that made the first album, by the time of Volume 2 Kevin Ayers had been replaced by Hugh Hopper, but both versions of the band were brilliant.

[@darrenlawrence1366]

No, Daevid Allen wasn't on the first album, he'd already left. They made it as a trio.

[@manuelpatriciodiazcaro5687]

Fabulous, majestic, immense ! No one had done that before and no one ever will afterwards.

[@josephnance4806]

They have a photo of the Softs with Daevid Allen and Kevin Ayers (and girlfriends/wives/kids), when the band which recorded this was Mike Ratledge, Robert Wyatt and Hugh Hopper with Brian Hopper on sax.

Wyatt's Spanish is pretty damn convincing for an English dude. My native language is Polish, so I might not be aware of the tiny errors if there are any....

they sounds like an argentinian band in this song
