Guillermo Urdapilleta intervista amabilmente Leonardo Pavkovic toccando vari argomenti professionali e alcune vicende personali, e tra le altre cose entrando in dettaglio nel programma del festival che a luglio celebrerà a Teramo ben venticinque di attività dell'etichetta MoonJune Records. 

"Years ago, people often used to say to me, 'You have a lot of artists on MoonJune Records and you book so many others through your agency MoonJune Music. Why don't you start your own festival?' But I didn't think I wanted to do a festival, that requires a lot of work. But then miracles happened. This summer, I'll be celebrating MoonJune's 25th anniversary, both as a record label and as a booking agency, and the occasion will be the fourth edition of the MoonJune Festival. Previous editions took place in the beautiful and historic town of Jajce (Bosnia and Herzegovina, my birthplace) in 2002, followed by my new hometown, the spectacular Toledo (Spain) in 2023, and Guadamur (also Spain), a historic village just 10 km from Toledo, in 2024. After a year's absence, I decided to ask a good friend of mine from Teramo, Abruzzo, and an established local promoter with whom I've been working for several years, to organize the festival. He managed to secure public funding from the local authorities, and I successfully confirmed all the artists in a very short amount of time, simply because I do not have shortage of artists to be booked. The festival will take place over four days, from Wednesday, July 22nd to Saturday, July 25th."

All'attuale formazione dei Soft Machine - di molto successiva alle ventiquattro calcolate nel suo libro da Graham Bennett, fermo al luglio-agosto 1984 - dedica spazio con un'articolata sequenza di recensioni e interviste Phil Howitt presso Facelift-The Canterbury scene(zine) continued... Il gruppo, impegnatissimo a promuovere il recente album Thirteen, è atteso anche in Italia tra qualche giorno a Breno (Bs) e soprattutto il 24 luglio al mega-festival moonjunista organizzato a Teramo da Leonardo Pavkovic.

Scrive Howitt: "It was patently obvious on first hearing the new Soft Machine album Thirteen, back in the autumn of 2025, that this was something of a landmark release for the band. It’s the first entirely under the individual and collective compositional talents of the quartet of John Etheridge (guitar), Theo Travis (saxes, flute, keyboards), Fred Baker (bass) and Asaf Sirkis (drums), a high calibre, high energy quartet you will have hopefully seen under the Soft Machine banner in the last 3 or 4 years. Although interviews with all four members were carried out back in January for an article for May’s Record Collector, and further added to during the spring, what you’ll see on the Facelift blog over the next couple of weeks is a collation of thoughts about various topics such as the band’s thoughts about Thirteen; how each member joined the band; their prior exposure to Soft Machine music; what they think about the current project and in particular its remarkable rhythm section; and thoughts about a recent, memorable American tour."

Una copia originale della prima edizione con copertina rigida (SAF Publishing, 2005) aveva raggiunto prezzi assurdi sul mercato dell'usato, poi però la successiva versione (Syzygy, 2014), pur rivista e aggiornata, non suscitò altrettanto interesse, forse perché diffusa solo come ebook. Questa ora giunge alle stampe in volume, in brossura e con impaginazione leggermente modificata. Presto anche in giapponese: Graham Bennett, Out-Bloody-Rageous (Syzygy, 2025).

'Highly entertaining, deeply insightful and definitive history... wonderful book. Totally illuminating and thoroughly recommended.' (Daevid Allen)
