Product Information

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. Joy Of A Toy is his debut solo album, its whimsical and unique vision is a clear indication of how Soft Machine might have progressed under Ayers' tenure. On the LP he is accompanied by his Soft Machine colleagues Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper. After a Soft Machine tour of the USA with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Ayers had decided to retire from the music business. Hendrix however, presented Ayers with an acoustic Gibson J-200 guitar on the promise that he continue his songwriting. Ayers repaired to a small London flat where he composed and arranged Joy Of A Toy features many of Ayers' most enduring songs from »The Lady Rachel« to »Girl on a Swing«. It was on this album that Ayers developed his sonorous vocal delivery, an avant-garde song construction and an affection for bizarre instrumentation that would have a deep influence far into the 1970s and indeed the present day.

Rezensionen

»Neben seinen alten Soft-Machine-Kollegen waren mit David Bedford und Paul Buckmaster auch zwei Kollegen aus dem klassischen Fach an den Aufnahmen beteiligt, das in der 2003er CD-Fassung hinzugekommene Outtake ›Religious Experience‹ mit dem Gastauftritt von Syd Barrett ist hier allerdings nicht mit dabei, wäre aber durchaus einen Bonus-Track wert gewesen.« (Good Times, April / Mai 2015)
