Tassos Spiliotopoulos: Archipelagos
by Ian Patterson
Since moving to London in 2000 to study music, Greek guitarist Tassos Spiliotopoulos has built a solid reputation as a technically gifted musician, building an impressive résumé of collaborations in a relatively short time, working with drummer/keyboardist Gary Husband, saxophonist Tim Garland, singer/multi-instrumentalist Eileen Hunter and guitarists John Parricelli, Mike Outram and John Etheridge. His debut ...
Soft Machine Legacy: Live Adventures
by Nic Jones
With Hugh Hopper's death in 2009, Soft Machine Legacy lost its last link with the classic Soft Machine lineups that recorded its most potent music. What is here, then, is a band which pledges allegiance to the relatively straightforward fusion period of the band's history. Once that's clarified, however, it's still a fact ...
Soft Machine Legacy: Live Adventures
by Mark Redlefsen
The unique jazz-rock of Soft Machine Legacy moves into a new decade with Live Adventures (Moonjune, 2010), along with yet another new lineup, recorded live shortly after the 2009 passing of bassist Hugh Hopper. No matter how much change in personnel occurs, a very identifiable and distinct sound is maintained all around. The balance in this ...
Soft Machine: Softs
by John Kelman
The last several years have seen the bulk of legendary British group Soft Machine's original recordings reissued: some available after years out-of-print; all receiving sonic upgrades as definitive as they'll likely ever get. Still, Esoteric Recordings' Mark Powell gave all the love he could to Sony's reissue of the group's classic Third (1970), but its marginal ...
Full Circle: Underbelly

Soft Machine: NDR Jazz Workshop - Hamburg, Germany May 17, 1973
by John Kelman
Every year it seems that more archive material is unearthed from Soft Machine, the legendary British group that began life in Dadaist psychedelia, but wound down as a powerhouse, chops-centric, fusion outfit at the end of the 1970s, with stops in more complex writing and free jazz territory along the way. As influenced by minimalist composers ...

Soft Machine: British Tour ‘75
by AAJ Italy Staff
I Soft Machine, che troviamo ben documentati da questo bel concerto tenutosi all’Università di Nottingham l’undici ottobre del 1975, erano all'epoca ormai diventati una band inserita pienamente nel filone inglese del jazz-rock, avendo perso per strada buona parte di quelle deliziose anomalie che avevano caratterizzato la parte iniziale della loro carriera, spesa fra Canterbury e i ...
