Kevin Ayers, the former Soft Machine, became a lunatic singer-songwriter projecting the persona of an exotic, decadent dandy. Joy Of A Toy (1969), a collection of enchanting ditties, defined his nonchalant cross-breeding of music-hall, folk lullabies, world-music and even children's music. The existential melancholy that already surfaced on that work permeates his most eccentric album, Shooting At The Moon (1970), featuring avantgarde composer and keyboardist David Bedford, teenage guitarist Mike Oldfield even jazz saxophonist Lol Coxhill. The marching-band brass of Only Heaven Knows, the ukulele and the female vocals on Baby Come Home Robert Wyatt's wordless vocals on Cold Shoulder are pathetic attempts at recreating that magic. The critics who hailed Ayers' return were the same who totally missed his classics in the 1970s, or never heard them at all.
