Whispers and Dreams (Kevin Ayers Album) (A Jet-Propelled Soft Machine)

Whispers and Dreams is the fourth solo album by the English singer-songwriter and Soft Machine's member Kevin Ayers, it was produced by Anthony Moore and released in 21 January 1978 by the RCA Records.

In 1975, Kevin Ayers became troubled with the Island Records label. With an certain ammount of master tapes to release another album, Ayers was forced to release a fourth studio album under the label. The case was brought to the justice, which was favourable to Kevin, who kept the tapes and cancelled the contract with the Island.

When Soft Machine started to record the follow-up to Softs, the band recorded sufficient material to another album, mostly all of them were Kevin's songs. The rest of the band agreed on let Kevin keep them and release as a solo record, including a re-recording of a passage of Among Us, from Kings and Queens.
