    Hugh Hopper's family benefit release, now on Bandcamp

    The benefit album for Hugh Hopper's family, The Gift Of Purpose, is now on up bandcamp, making even more money for the family. And it's great!

    Please note that every cent you pay goes directly to Christine Hopper and Hugh and Christine's daughter.

    thank you

    Hot damn! I was just checking to see if it was available in this format over the weekend. I just got Wyatt's '68 this weekend too... and its so damn good - love the interview PDF.

    Steve --- I was having problems with the download but it ended up being just fine. Server must have been choking on me for an hour or so. Thanks for making such great stuff available!

    we've now got every title that we still have current rights to up on bandcamp, so the benefit disc has benefited from that.

    Fantastic album and probably the heaviest thing i've heard Hugh involved with. I would go as far as to say this is a must if your into Hopper's bass playing at all.

    I like that photo of Hugh in Downtown Music Gallery.

    Will be purchasing a copy of the download soon. Sorry to hear Hugh's family is in need - hopefully there will be more Soft Machine releases to buy in the future!

    Grabbed the digital copy tonight. I'll be playing this about 10 times at work tomorrow. I threw in a few more bucks on the purchase too... I wish I could spend even more but funds are light. Thank you for making this available digitally!

    Bought and playing now, man the bass is heavy, this is a really good release regardless of the very good reason to buy it.
