Album Notes: Featuring members of Soft Machine, Gilgamesh, and National Health, Soft Heap was invariably an adventurous band that had girded themselves for live work, with this eponymous set their sole studio release. Recorded in late 1978, SOFT HEAP reflected the prominence of Elton Dean's saxophone, which immediately set the group apart from their Canterbury scene colleagues. On "Circle Line," Dean's horn is melancholy, on "Petit 3's" it's luminescent, on "Terra Nova" it's playful, while on "Short Hand" it's nothing short of dizzying. But Soft Heap was not a one-man band, with keyboardist Alan Gowen particularly illuminating on the improvisational "A.W.O.L." while giving "Fara" its lovely, pensive quality. As the quieter keyboardist and more flamboyant saxophonist vie and intertwine, the rhythm team of Hugh Hopper and Pip Pyle center the pieces, with the former also providing a tugging, underlying melodic counterpoint. Together the quartet created jazz at its most intriguing and inspiring.
Album Reviews: Record Collector (magazine) (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he mood of the album's six tracks continually alternates between exploratory and freewheeling."
Advantages: Leaves skin soft and moisturised Disadvantages: the 200ml tub should be available in tube form
...This moisturising cream is one of my favourites. It definateley is a 'soft intensive moisturising' cream. It smells brilliant and is so easy to apply.
The Product
This is a moisturiser that leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. Its creamy white texture is very eye pleasing and as it is made with jojoba oil and has plenty of vitamin e in, it is definately skin pleasing also.
Application
Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Creme is gentle enough to be applied daily to the hands, body and even face. It absorbs into your skin with no difficulties and leaves a refreshing smell on your skin. Unlike alot of moisturisers, it does not leave you feeling like a big grease ball. It can be applied generously if desired.
Packaging
This product comes in two main forms of packaging; the tube (as seen above) and also the round tub. Personally I...

Advantages: leave skin smooth and soft, better as a night time moisturiser Disadvantages: is a little heavy for daytime wear
...I thought I'd give Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Cream a try, as I fancied a change from the usual baby lotion I use. Also Nivea has been around for a such a long time the brand can be trusted.
Don't be put off by the packaging as it looks a bit boring - the brand speaks for itself. Nivea Soft is available in a 75ml tube costing around £1.99, 200ml tub for £2.75 and a 300 ml tub for £5.75. The packaging is quite simple and is all white other than the blue Nivea Soft logo. There is no information printed on the tub other than it's name, it's to be used on face, body and hands and contains Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E. At the bottom of the pot you will find one of those 'tear open' labels and all information can be found in this.
Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Cream is a highly effective moisturising cream for everday use...
