Their first
eponymous album was released in April 1972, the bulk of which was composed by Wyatt himself, with the exception of "O Caroline" (a Dave Sinclair composition with lyrics by Wyatt about his recent breakup with girlfriend
Caroline Coon) and Phil Miller's "Part of the Dance". Sinclair soon dropped out of the group and was replaced by New Zealand-born keyboard player and composer
Dave MacRae, who had already played a guest role on the first album. Their second album, ''
Matching Mole's Little Red Record'', produced by
Robert Fripp of
King Crimson, was released in November 1972. This album was more of a team effort, with Wyatt concentrating on lyrics and vocal melodies and leaving the composing to his bandmates. Matching Mole disbanded in late September 1972 immediately upon completion of a European tour supporting
Soft Machine, with Sinclair and Miller going on to form the more successful
Hatfield and the North. A new lineup – consisting of Wyatt, MacCormick, ex-Curved Air keyboardist
Francis Monkman and jazz saxophonist
Gary Windo – was due to record a third album in 1973. This was cancelled when Wyatt fell from a window in June 1973, and was paralysed from the waist down, and therefore unable to continue drumming.{{cite book ==Personnel==
