Soft Machine - Third 2LP

Soft Machine released their third album "Third" in 1970. It is a double album with each side of the vinyl consisting of a single long composition. Its music explores the emerging jazz fusion of the type present on Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew", which was released just a few months earlier.

"Third" marks the most major of Soft Machine's several shifts in musical genre over their career, completing their transition from psychedelic music to jazz. It is a significant milestone of the Canterbury scene, featuring interplay between the band's personnel: Mike Ratledge on keyboards, Robert Wyatt on drums, Hugh Hopper on bass, and newest member Elton Dean on saxophone.

Tracklist:

1. Facelift
2. Slightly All the Time
3. Moon In June
4. Out-Bloody-Rageous
