Soft Machine
Third / Fourth / Fifth / Six / Seven
Released
February 19th 2007
Sony BMG is proud to present five reissued masterpieces from genre defining pioneers of psychedelia, Soft Machine. Remastered from the original master tapes and sounding better than ever, these classic albums are essential for all fans of both Soft Machine and Robert Wyatt and staple listening for anyone with an interest in 1960/70's experimental jazz/rock.
Exclusive bonus material is included in the form of an additional disc containing the BBC session 'Live from the Royal Albert Hall' which is included with the 'Third' album, and the previously unavailable alternate take of 'All White' featured on the 'Fifth' album.
Featuring the legendary Robert Wyatt, Soft Machine exploded on to the scene in 1966 alongside Pink Floyd who they often played with and were likened to. In the history of rock music few bands underwent such a stylistic musical transformation as Soft Machine. Starting life as a band that absorbed Soul and Jazz influences, the group became one of the first to embrace psychedelia before heading off on a jazz influenced tangent. In hindsight Soft Machine's evolution could have only taken place in the musical free thinking environment that was the music business of the late 60's / early 70's. It was an evolution that would produce some of the most startlingly brilliant and innovative music of the period.
With constant support from John Peel's Radio London `Perfumed Garden' show and through a series of underground happenings where they played alongside The Who, Jimi Hendrix (who they also supported on a 1968 US tour) and Eric Burdon and the Animals, they became one of the most respected and influential bands of that time.
