Soft Mountain - Soft Mountain
SKU
25-HUX084
"Legendary Soft Machine veterans Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper joined forces in 2003 with wildly creative keyboardist/composer Hoppy Kamiyama and master drummer Yoshida Tatsuya (Samla! Korekyojinn!! Koenjihyakkei!!!) to create Soft Mountain. Their debut album, recorded August 10, 2003, in Tokyo, Japan, is released here for the first time. Soft Mountain named themselves after Hoppy Kamiyama, whose name translates to "God Mountain" in English. Hoppy practically invented the modern concept of the keyboardist/composer/producer, and has made about 200 CDs over a nearly 24-year career. Yoshida Tatsuya was one of the most important drummers on the Japanese scene in the final decades of the 20th century, spearheading at least half a dozen of that country's most important groups, including Acid Mothers Temple and The Ruins. This limited edition digipack features a liner note from Hugh Hopper."
