THE SOFT MACHINE
HUGH HOPPER, ROBERT WYATT, MICHAEL RATLEDGE
A pioneering Canterbury psychedelic group that initially featured Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers,
later developing into an experimental jazz-rock unit. Soft Machine were never a commercial
enterprise and indeed still remain unknown even to many listeners who came of age
during the late '60s and early '70s, when the group was at its peak. In their own way,
however, they were one of the more influential bands of their era, and certainly
one of the most influential underground ones. One of the original British psychedelic groups,
they were also instrumental in the birth of both progressive rock and jazz-rock.
They were also the central foundation of the family tree of the "Canterbury Scene"
of British progressive rock acts, a movement that also included Caravan, Gong,
Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North, and National Health, not to mention the distinguished
pop music careers of founding members Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers and the jazz
and jazz-rock explorations of saxophonist Elton Dean and bassist Hugh Hopper

On their good days, Soft Machine could slide effortlessly between jazz, rock, and classical influences
and show a lot of other bands how it's done. Unlike a lot of other Peel Sessions releases,
which include as little as a quartet of tracks, this volume, drawn from appearances on the BBC
from June 1969 through November 1971, takes up two full LPs, and none of the space is wasted,
disc one also opens with Robert Wyatt's special invocational version of "Moon in June,"
written for the occasion and referring to it throughout. It is strange, but the bandmembers'
playing is so confident and elegant that they make their case and then some,
they were already acquitting themselves better than other neophyte outfits like King Crimson,
based on the evidence presented here. The sound is good and the group
was on form throughout these appearances...(AllMusic)price rating
