[Review] The Soft Machine (1968)
Experimental, psychedelic “art” rock that gave the intellectuals in the audience something to chew on until prog arrived.
Experimental, psychedelic “art” rock that gave the intellectuals in the audience something to chew on until prog arrived.
The second installment of their psychedelic jazz circus and first to feature fuzz-bass extraordinaire Hugh Hopper.
Their third, divided into four, equals pure joy as it explores jazz-rock fusion from the perspective of rock.
The purely instrumental Fourth, and last to feature Robert Wyatt, contains longer and shorter works in the same vein as Third.
Remember when the new release of a double-album from Soft Machine would have warranted skipping school? Those days are gone.
