A FÓRMULA CORRECTA



Kevin Ayers - The Unfairground

Quando a “Uncut” lhe perguntou “vinho, mulheres ou canções: o que é melhor?”, Kevin Ayers respondeu que é a combinação das duas primeiras que melhor funciona em benefício da terceira. Mas fez questão de acrescentar que “tal como quando se fala dos filhos, não desejaria eleger publicamente nenhuma das hipóteses como favorita”. Quinze anos depois do apenas aceitável Still Life With Guitar e muitos mais de uma quase interminável seca criativa após o início com os Soft Machine e os óptimos individuais Joy Of A Toy (1968), Shooting At The Moon (1970) e Whatevershebringswesing (1972), Ayers parece ter descoberto a fórmula correcta que equilibra devidamente os três ingredientes.


Soft Machine - 1967: "Why Am I So Short", c/Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge e Kevin Ayers

Seja ela qual for, resultou, sem dúvida, em benefício destas dez magníficas canções que (na companhia de velhos e novos companheiros como Hugh Hopper, Robert Wyatt, Bridget St John, Phil Manzanera e gente dos Neutral Milk Hotel, Architecture In Helsinki ou Teenage Fanclub) reconstituem intacto o requintado psicadelismo aristocrático das origens. Ou como a queda de um dandy não tem de ser irremediavelmente definitiva. (2007)

Hi, I stumbled upon your article on and even though the content seems great, I believe that your page could be experiencing some web browser compatibility issues.
Whenever I view your web-site in Chrome, it looks fine however,
when opening in IE, it has a few overlapping issues. I simply wanted to offer you
with a brief bit of info, that's all.

A fellow blogger here, found your site via Fork,
and I have a piece of advice: write more. Literally, it appears like you depended
on the clip to make your point. You definitely have an understanding of what you're writing about, so why blow your intelligence merely putting up videos to your site when you could be providing us with something illuminating to read?

After read this I found it to be quite illuminating.
. It's really nice that you spent the time to do all of this. I must say, I more than likely spent about 2 hours on your website. Absolutely worth the time, regardless.
