Soft Machine Legacy: Steam

Read "Steam" reviewed by Nic Jones


The band name says it all. Three members of this quartet worked at different times in the original Soft Machine whilst the fourth has assumed the mantle once taken by the late and lamented musician, Elton Dean.

Soft Machine Legacy: Steam

Read "Steam" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


This ensemble's birthright continues via numerous personnel changes over the years as its longstanding members--bassist Hugh Hopper and drummer John Marshall--carry the proverbial torch. With sax great Elton Dean's passing in 2006, Soft Machine Legacy has regrouped and surged onward. Regardless, this effort looms as a milestone of sorts. Multi-woodwind ace Theo Travis' presence ...

Read "Soft Machine: Third through Seven Remasters" reviewed by John Kelman


While the merits of remastered reissues are the source of considerable debate, there's no denying that the discography of pioneering British jazz/rock band Soft Machine has been more deserving of attention than most. In the group's fourteen-year existence it shifted gears more often than outfits lasting considerably longer. Beginning in the late 1960s as a psychedelic ...

Soft Machine: Middle Earth Masters

Read "Middle Earth Masters" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dieci degli undici brani che formano questo importante documento recentemente pubblicato da Cuneiform arrivano da due concerti che i Soft Machine tennero al Middle Earth di Londra nel settembre del 1967 e nel maggio dell’anno successivo. Per la cronaca l’undicesimo brano è dell’autunno 1967, ma in questo unico caso non si sa quale fosse la location ...
