Matching Mole "Matching Mole's Little Red Record" Matching Mole 1972 (Fripp)

Matching Mole's Little Red Record (1972) is the second album of the English Canterbury Scene band Matching Mole. The band was formed in 1971 by Robert Wyatt after he left Soft Machine. Compared to their first album, Little Red Record was more of a team effort, with Wyatt taking a less involved role. It was produced by Robert Fripp of King Crimson, and features Brian Eno as a guest musician.

The album title refers to Chairman Mao's Little Red Book (1964). This reference is also carried over to the faux-Chinese style of the album cover, which is reminiscent of posters created during the Chinese Cultural Revolution

Matching Mole (1972)

Cuando Robert Wyatt dejó Soft Machine en 1971, imagino que muchos se habrán preguntado, con toneladas de expectativas, "¿Con qué se vendrá Bob ahora?". Y el primer tema del primer disco de Matching Mole, su nueva banda, debe haber sorprendido a más de uno. Es, sin duda, una de las composiciones más directas y preciosas de Wyatt: O Caroline, una canción de amor y desamor arreglada con sutileza, que posee una de las letras más sinceras que he escuchado.
