3 out of 5 stars soft machine six ok but..........2006-12-31

There's enough good music to make one disk of quality, but instead they made a double of mixed music, some of which I could have made myself late on a Saturday night. 1983, by Hopper is terrible, I guess the writing was on the wall for him in neon. Chloe is excellent, as is the other Ratledge studio number. Ten minutes of the live half is worth listening to. If you don't this post-Wyatt period, buy As If... which contains Chloe, but then you'll miss Pigling Bland. It contains Kings and Queens to make up for this.

3 out of 5 stars Extremely talented, but limiting.......2006-05-24

3 1/2 stars


Amazing instrumental prowess as expected, although the compositions are sub par for this bands standards..Often the uninspired psychadelic meanderings mire the meat and potatoes of this disc, which is not a whole lot when used to dealing with the insanely high standards of the band. Still, the spirit of Soft Machine remains intact enough to continue to enthrall at certain points of jamming bliss, although sadly of a lesser order.

4 out of 5 stars A Bundle of jams........2005-05-29

A great album both for live and definatly studio. We see Jenkin come on this album writing some fresh songs for the live album with Ratelege writing some slender cocktail almost jazzers. Live highlights are Rift,37 1/2 Gesolereut, lets just say the whole thing. Studio is probably the most intriging and most likeable the group ever played not to say their other albums were bad. The Soft Weed Factor (interesting title) mixes minimalist with a stoned groove and hypnotic sax,organ line. Stanly Stamps is a organ highlight those I always thought that was a sax playing it just light Drop or Block or Teeth. Chloe and the Pirates a soft classical jazz song probably the most popular with fans of the 5th to Seven period. The closer 1983 is a bland but weird song with piano and syth motif that repeat about 7 minutes. Hopper could be playing the piano even closing with a detatched bass solo gives it a horrific ending.

2 out of 5 stars Not a Total Failure, But............2004-10-29

Unfortunately I do not share in the enthusiasm of the previous reviewers. This record is the transition point between the classic Soft Machine and the humdrum new age Soft MAchine of the mid-late seventies. There are moments of brilliance but to compare this record to the likes of Third, Fourth or even Fifth is ludicrious at best. this is the beginning of a whole new band and a much different one at that. Without Wyatt and Ratledge taking a distinct backseat the entire feel of the record is "safe". With all the live issues out (from 69-72)and the the first 5 records also available theres no real reason to purchase this. My advice: avoid.
