Sony/BMG. Review: Soft Machine's prime - Soft Machine 3 was pretty heady stuff for a high school kid wearing headphones and smoking pot in his bedroom. While the rest of my schoolmates were getting into Grand Funk Railroad and Carly Simon, my best friend and I were discovering King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Pink Floyd, Hatfield and the North and Soft Machine. Not that we didn't like AM radio stuff, but we were into "expanding" our consciousness as much as possible. Soft Machine 3 and the subsequent albums were milestones for us. Nothing else in all of music sounded like Mike Ratledge's staccato fuzz piano, except for perhaps Dave Stewart's fuzz piano in Egg and Hatfield or Dave Sinclair's fuzz piano in Caravan. Listening to Soft Machine also got us into "real" jazz, such as John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. We were then listening to what our heroes were influenced by, and eventually we made little distinction between the generations of jazz musicians. They were all great. Soft Machine 3 was played side by side with A Love Supreme. Aside from the fantastic music that the Mike Ratledge era of Soft Machine produced, I will always be grateful to them for opening up a whole new world of music to me. This box set is a fantastic way to get into this great band. Review: The ever amazing Soft Machine - Since I was wee bit of a boy collecting music, I have always looked for music that challenged my senses in one form or another. My search out weighs my funds often times, therefore the choice to purchase The Original Album Classics was one of my best finds. The collection finds the band at a time where the original incarnation is evolving and transforming into a free for all rock fusion, progressive, jazz influenced monster. I find the collection intoxicating and mind numbing when played a high volumes (over loud speakers, not ear buds). The band started out as a psychedelic outfit sharing bills with Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream and the like while transforming in similar fashion from strange psychedelic pop into heavy duty progressive music which taps into the brain. If you like jam bands or improvisational rock/jazz fusion like Miles Davis (68- - 72') or the Mahavishnu Orchestra this collection will knock your socks off. I have listened to these recordings over and over and over for the past two months. Stunning and completely enjoyable. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003ZBX84G | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,091 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #131 in Classic Psychedelic Rock #3,707 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #4,779 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (399) | | Date First Available | August 31, 2010 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Sony Music Canada Inc. | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Sony Music Canada Inc. | | Number of discs | 5 | | Original Release Date | 2011 | | Product Dimensions | 5.08 x 5 x 0.63 inches; 5.08 ounces | | Run time | 4 hours and 37 minutes | ## Images ![Original Album Classics Third/F Ourth/Fifth/Six/Seven - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819oa2vMMbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soft Machine's prime *by T***S on June 19, 2019* Soft Machine 3 was pretty heady stuff for a high school kid wearing headphones and smoking pot in his bedroom.
