Description
Bundles is the eighth studio album by the jazz rock band Soft Machine, released in 1975.
Overview
By Bundles, only keyboardist and founding member Mike Ratledge was left from the early Soft Machine line-ups; the other members had all previously been in the jazz-rock band Nucleus. Guitarist Allan Holdsworth's prominent contributions set the album apart from previous Soft Machine recordings, as guitar was an instrument ignored by Soft Machine since 1969's Volume Two.
This is the last studio album featuring Ratledge listed as a full band member. Only two compositions by him are included, one of which is less than two minutes long.
