They are nothing new to the psychedelic spectrum, highlighting improvisation, jam sessions and carefully and carelessly improving the real meaning of psychedelics and progressive music. listening to bands like king crimson, emerson, lake and palmer, and Can, Soft Machine is a must for those captured by the 70s psychedelic movement. Soft Machine went through many line up changes and grew into many different styles. Robert Wyatt the form of Soft Machine grew the band and increased it's popularity in the Canterbury Music Scene in the Mid 60's to early 70's. Robert Wyatt left the band in 71 but the band lived on to many lineup changes. 1976 saw the end of all Original Members and was carried on till 1977 where Soft Machine saw their last show as a working band. Soft Machine only lives on as a memory some slid towards other projects and interest and some fans left but not doubt that all will remember the talent of Soft Machine and others may never.

Great band for sure! Can you give any info on the pictures here? Touring with Hendrix? Wyatt in yellow jacket, and behind the drums. I can't remember seeing these ones before, but you know Memories.
