Kevin Ayers - Whatevershebringswesing (Vinyl)
A remastered vinyl edition of Kevin Ayers' Whatevershebringswesing will be released on September 27. The 1971 album has been newly remastered from the original master tapes.
Kevin Ayers (R.I.P.), the UK singer-songwriter was key within the early UK psychedelic movement. A founding member of Soft Machine and the Canterbury scene, he went on to work with Brian Eno, Syd Barrett, Bridget St John, John Cale, Elton John, Robert Wyatt, Andy Summers, Mike Oldfield, Nico and Ollie Halsall, among others.
The British rock journalist Nick Kent wrote: "Kevin Ayers and Syd Barrett were the two most important people in British pop music. Everything that came after came from them."
At times, melancholic, reflective, experimental, lush and whimsical, Kevin Ayers' third solo effort, Whatevershebringswesing finds the ultimate underachiever languishing in a dreamy twilight zone of disparate styles and influences, sometimes challenging but always interesting, and generally removed from the prog rock influence of his previous album, Shooting At the Moon.
Whatevershebringswesing was Ayers' most commercially accessible album to date. While the opening track, the "There Is Loving" suite picks up nicely from the previous album, linked by its Soft Machine/prog rock sound, this was a deceptive opener for an album that explored a range of genres. Of particular interest are the contributions from Robert Wyatt and Mike Oldfield who contribute beautiful vocal harmonies and guitar to the languid title track.
Tracklist:
A1a There Is Loving
A1b Among Us
A1c There Is Loving
A2 Margaret
A3 Oh My
A4 Song From The Bottom Of A Well
B1 Whatevershebringswesing
B2 Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes
