Soft Machine - Floating World Live (2025 Remastered version) (2025)

SOFT MACHINE 'FLOATING WORLD LIVE' notes by Sid Smith An indispensable record of a band at the top of their game…The arrival of guitarist Alan Holdsworth into the ranks of Soft Machine in December 1973 marked a significant change in tone and style for the venerable jazz-rock institution.Having started out as an experimental pop group in the mid-1960s, Soft Machine had undergone several changes not only in its personnel but in its music. By the early 1970s albums such as Third, Fourth, boasting long-form compositions in complex and adventurous arrangements, secured their reputation as the UK’s leading jazz-rock performers.
