Colorphone Hugh Hopper Hugh Hopper/France 2007

In 2007, Hugh Hopper, who continues to actively perform live with Soft Machine Legacy, BRAINVILLE 3, and his own group COLORPHONE, held a gig in Paris on June 7th. This is a complete, uncut recording of the gig held by the solo project of Hugh Hopper, who continues to perform live with Soft Machine Legacy, BRAINVILLE 3, and his own group COLORPHONE at the same time. The quartet’s performance is mostly numbers from Hopper’s solo album, and the performance is tense and high-tension throughout. Dennis Collin, who has also released a solo album, is particularly featured, and the band takes an approach and improvises reminiscent of 70’s Crimson in many places. This sound, which combines the jazz side of Soft Machine Legacy with Metallic Crimson, is a must-see for all prog fans! By the way, the following day he played at the same venue as BRAINVILLE 3, a must-listen live performance that encapsulates Hopper’s full potential!! disc 1: 1. Sliding Dogs 2. Miniluv 3.
