[[File:Softworks.jpeg|200px|right]]MoonJune Records released “Abracadabra In Osaka” by Soft Works on Dec. 4, 2020, a live recording from a gig (in Osaka) on Aug 11, 2003. Soft Works was created after Leonardo Pavkovic and Elton Dean reconnected in 2000. After meeting John Marshall and Hugh Hopper, the idea of a Soft Machine reunion was born. In 2001, Allan was asked to join. The band was named “Soft Works”, and released the studio album “Abracadabra” in 2003. Allan only played 11 gigs with this band, and this album is the first official release of a live recording of this lineup. | |||
The album appears to be available exclusively on Bandcamp, in the form of a CD including streaming and download, or as a digital only release. The repertoire is based on “Abracadabra”, with the addition of some Soft Machine classics and Hatfield And The North’s “Calyx”. Allan contributes two tunes: “Madam Vintage” and “Alphrazallan”, a composition previously only heard on “All Night Wrong”. There’s plenty of information available at the Bandcamp site. | |||
