Our Take

Soft Machine's "Bundles" is like a weird and wonderful journey into a psychedelic wonderland where jazz, rock, and funk collide in a glorious explosion of musical genius. This remastered and expanded edition takes listeners on a wild ride through a sonic landscape that is as unpredictable as it is satisfying.

From the moment the first notes of "Hazard Profile" kick in, you know you're in for a treat. The jazzy saxophones, funky basslines, and intricate drumming create a swirling cacophony of sound that is both chaotic and mesmerizing.

Tracks like "The Floating World" and "Bundles" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres into a cohesive and captivating sound. The addition of bonus tracks like "Gone Sailing" and "Peff" only adds to the overall experience, giving listeners a deeper insight into the band's creative process.

Overall, "Bundles" is a must-listen for any fans of experimental music. It's a testament to Soft Machine's innovative spirit and their willingness to push the boundaries of what is possible in music. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Soft Machine take you on a mind-bending musical journey that you won't soon forget. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

Their early albums, including the seminal "Third" and "Fourth," showcased their ability to seamlessly blend complex compositions with improvisational flair, resulting in a truly mind-bending musical experience. Despite numerous lineup changes and internal disagreements, Soft Machine continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of progressive rock and jazz, ultimately cementing their legacy as one of the most daring and innovative bands of their era. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, Soft Machine's music is sure to captivate and inspire, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for the boundless possibilities of innovative music.
