By the way, I was thinking of using the following songs for mp3s:
- Song For Insane Times
- Rheinhardt & Geraldine/Colores Para Delores
- Song From The Bottom of a Well
- It Begins With a Blessing/Once I Awakened/But It Ends With a Curse
Good choices?

The biography might give you an idea of what to expect from his songs.

I saw Kevin Ayers about 10 years ago backed up by Liverpool prog/jazz supremos the Wizzards of Twiddly. I also briefly met the man - he & the Wizards were rehearsing in an arts centre which I was helping to run. I opened the door one morning, saw a tousled blond guy standing there and said (with great presence of mind and that ready wit for which Liverpudlians are so famous) 'Fookin' 'ell it's Kevin Ayers!', which was a bit of a conversation killer. I got on pretty well with some of the Wizards, and they played a storming set at the Lomax with some of Ollie Halsall's guitar solos played by the trumpeter. Great addition, and I look forward to your reviews and bio Mr Trousers.

I think I'm limited to one mp3 per album and a maximum of 5 over all. I sleep on it.

TP
Your discography must be comprehensive, and as Ayers is integral to the first Soft Machine
album you strictly should include that. However, there has to be a
route on the archives that takes the reviewer to the Soft Machine page
to avoid duplication. And what about the Nico Eno Ayers + one other live (Cale???) album released by Island in the 70's?
I've thinking along the same lines that Hugh Hopper should included as a "solo artist", but the headache is the large number of groups he's been a member:
Wildeflowers
Soft Machine
Isotope
Stomu Yamashta
Gilgamesh
Hugh Hopper Band
Caveman Hughscore/Hughscore
Soft Works
Bone
Soft Machine Legacy
His solo albums include the notable 1984, Jazzloops
and session work, e.g with Kevin Ayers, Syd Barrett, Robert Wyatt.
I know Hugh would react on inclusion, as saying it's 'groovy'.

The discographies need only cover solo works (though I did include that
Nico Eno Cale jobby (June 1st) so you know) as he's being added as a
SOLO ARTIST. His work in Soft Machine is covered in both biographies,
and that's enough, surely?

Reference in the text will have to do, but a proper discography should
be comprehensive. Now you remind me of the LP title, I realise have
have got Cales, Ayers, Nico, Eno included. However, any suggestion how
you tackle a musician like Mr Hopper and his back catalogue, if he was
to be (should be) included?
