The Soft Machine "We Know How You Feel" 1967 on hoepla tv show
bove: Soft Machine at Hoepla: Marc Boyle, Mike, Kevin, unknown, Robert (aka Graham Chapman)
Today's obscure video comes from the Soft Machine. They are another one of those bands that you will hear about, but not actually hear much of. Others in this category include DNA, The Swell Maps, and the Residents. This is the first Soft Machine song I've heard, and I like it. Sounds a lot like Pink Floyd. The song is "We Know What You Mean" and they're performing it live in a tv studio in Holland in 1967. There are some cool oil lamp effects on this one, as well as interesting shots of hipsters dancing, including drummer Robert, who reminds me of Graham Chapman of Monty Python with a little Montgomery Burns thrown in. The audio is a bit hissy, so I didn't post an .mp3, but it shouldn't bother you while watching the video. Enjoy!

Now, I know this was posted before, but there was only a link to a torrent, and it wasn't posted with any sort of title... so here it is again, in a simple quicktime file to coincide with it's release as a single in the UK. Maybe you haven't seen it yet. It's good.
