It is a flat out shame that I just discovered this band about three weeks ago. Was in record store and the guys started playing this vinyl lp and I was like "what the heck is that?" lol It was jammin'. I had him take it off and put it right in my hands. Been discovering them every day since.
I love it when on a video of my favorite artists some d...guy compare my favorite bands with Pink Floyd or Jimi Hendrix.( It is always when the vid has alot of views.)
Yes.. they are incredibly underrated, but if you think from the artists perspective, it's better off this way. I for one would feel a greater sense of accomplishment if I wouldn't make it to the top of the music industry, but after a few years be discovered by a handfull of people, that would say: This is it! This changes my view on things.
That, for me, seem not too far from romantic.
What good is there in a legion of fans, when only a few of them really understand you?
This album was in my High School library. I took it out on loan. This was maybe late 1984. It's a wonderful thing when thoughtful little treasures find their way into mostly conservative institutions.
Amazing band! I heard 5 in 1974 being a big fan of progressive rock ( King Crimson, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Yes ) and all of a sudden i heard Soft Machine 5 and Ian Carr's Nucleus. It was a turning point in my preferences, thanks for posting!

The album cover shows your classic 70s design of a number.

Pink Floyd but with jazz qualities. The 2 bands were connected... Great great stuff..

I was fortunate enough to see Soft Machine live three times in the mid 70's. Unforgetable experiences!
This is my favorite album and track.
How could Mike Ratledge give up music, an incredible talent?

This album is as good if not better than third.. some of it had already been tried and tested on the Peel sessions with Wyatt on drums. Great band.
