If you want to learn more about the Softs´history, then read Graham Bennett´s book "out-bloody-rageous. I can not understand, that people use the YouTube side to argue about their musical taste... I ( a Jazz fan) would never watch a let´s say Mark Knopfler video and than post an opinion like "John McLaughlin plays better...." That is so rediculous and surely not the purpose of YouTube. Some people argue about several pages and the topic has nothing to do with the original video..

THAT FENDER RHODES SOUND. I WANT IT.

I saw the Softmachine three times in the 70's basically this line up except with Hugh on bass. They were an incredible band live. The recordings never do justice to the power of MR's fuzzed organ.

4:20 is 'Chloe & The Pirates'  from Soft Machine six. Beautiful.

It does seem that Ratledge was the heart and soul of SM, but they did make great music through all the permeations over the years. As long as one original (or latter day original) was around, they stayed true to the muse.

@Tarabos1 well said. the problem is, the general population of internet users is too juvenile. the problem isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Ahah, Motown.

It might sound strange to your wife but I find this video very dance-able, as some good Herbie Hancock joints.

Bundles is the only SM LP I got in my collection. I always wait for "floating world", it's so soothing.

All that put aside, I find there is some resemblance between this and some music by the band once known as Catalyst. Not the same geographical origin at all but some shared atoms.

This is from the LP- Six

combo of Gesolreut and Chloe and the Pirates.

A Soft Machine newbie here.

Can anybody please tell me what album this is from?

Thank you!
