i-Pod listening in the garden this PM.
1968 debut from Canterbury scene Jazz-Rockers.
There's some Avant-Garde Jazz skronkiness early on on this record (some of which hasn't aged well), but there's also some lovely music in the latter two-thirds.
Soft Machine won't ever be anywhere near to being my favourite band, but there's enough here to keep me coming back...
AllMusic 4+/5 stars.
"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture"
