Soft Machine Legacy: New Morning--The Paris Concert
by John Kelman
Soft Machine Legacy New Morning: The Paris Concert Inakustuk 2006 Some would argue that Soft Machine didn't technically take its last wheezing gasps until the early 1980s, with the release of the largely inconsistent Land of Cockayne (EMI, 1981).

Buddy Rich and his Band: The Lost Tapes
by Ty Cumbie
Buddy Rich The Lost Tapes Light Year Entertainment 2005 The hyperbole about Buddy Rich can get pretty deep. He's commonly referred to as the best drummer ever. This is much like granting Sinatra King of Crooners status - for many this brash supremism is based on a standard of style ...
