A lot of people were pretty upset to see the analog synths go, and I I don't blame them; I was sorry to see them go too. But if you actually listen to this album, it is completely and utterly within the realm and style of his very best work.

By mid 1973, Soft Machine had gone through a tremendous amount of personnel turnover and a...

“It was the middle of the night in Germany, when the phone of the world-famous Whisky A Go-Go club, where all the great acts had played: the Doors, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, was ringing.
