Soft Machine - Carol Ann (1974)

Seven is a 1974 album by the British progressive rock and jazz/fusion band Soft Machine who were one of the central bands in the Canterbury scene. Bassist Roy Babbington, who had previously contributed to Fourth and Fifth on double bass as a session musician, replaced Hugh Hopper on bass guitar, who left to begin a solo career.
The album was issued on CBS Records with a colour gatefold cover in the UK, and on Columbia Records with a completely different black and white cover in the USA. The title on the USA front cover is the numeral 7, but is spelled out as Seven on the spine and label. Although this is a 1974 release, USA copies show a copyright date of 1974 (and a phonographic rights date of 1973), suggesting the North American release may have been delayed

"LAST ROLL" BY DOMO GENESIS

[philipatoz]

This is such an introspective piece, so beautiful, tranquil and melancholy. It always mentally takes me back to when I first began listening to SM, back in the mid-70s, when I was just a wee hippie boy. It's absolutely stunning to me that this track is 35+ years old - that and the fact that I'm that much older since first hearing it. Precious memories of a different time and simple entertainment, just sitting around listening to great music on vinyl.
