Soft Machine - Hidden Details

The studio album ‘Hidden Details’ is the first Soft Machine album (as opposed to Soft Machine Legacy) in 37 years. This is three quarters of the celebrated 1970’s version of the legendary Jazz-Rock group, which recorded the acclaimed ‘Softs’ album in 1975. It consists of: John Etheridge, Roy Babbington and John Marshall - completed by outstanding saxophone star Theo Travis (Robert Fripp/David Gilmour/Gong). The music is broad ranging from Psychedelia to Jazz Rock to free form improv to simple pop-ish tunes to hypnotic mood pieces. Whilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the heady days of the late 1960’s, the band’s spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with which it freely can move from powerful progressive jazz fusion to atmospheric psychedelia to free improvised jazz-rock to ambient loop music, continues to make it both unique and totally contemporary.
