Released in 1993 on the Blueprint label, Alive documents a fiery and dynamic live performance by legendary Soft Machine bassist Hugh Hopper leading his European touring ensemble. Recorded on stage in Europe, the album captures Hopper's unmistakable fuzz-bass tone anchoring a tight, brass-infused jazz-rock lineup featuring dual saxophonists Frank Van Der Kooy and Kees Van Veldhuizen, keyboardist Dionys Breukers, guitarist Hans Van Der Zee, and a driving rhythm section anchored by drummers Pieter Bast and André Maes. The setlist blends classic Soft Machine and Hopper heritage with sharp new jazz-fusion arrangements, spanning extended, grooving jams like Glider, Turfschip Enterprise, and Double Booked alongside spirited covers like Hugh Masekela's Nomali. Combining Canterbury-style harmonic complexity, heavy bass riffs, and explosive sax solos, Alive is an indispensable live document for fans of Soft Machine, Canterbury scene jazz-rock, and progressive fusion.
