I must admit I generally prefered pure bebop to this era of early Soft Machine. 'Softs' was my favorite. I felt they were then most original, focused and well oiiled

Listen to all the band's comments. I feel each member was sensing the importance of the rock & roll explosion because they all had passion about the world, crazy as it was in 1970. They were part of a generation that was changing their world! It was a time of passion and we need a passion again.

The comment about listening to this as being "hard work" I don't totally see it that way. I think if you have developed an ear for jazz or this kind of music, listening to almost any other jazz music should be challenging but not hard work.

I think most of those people are from the southern england area, or Canturbury. Some people call this "canturbury jazz" or "canturbury progressive rock".

i think he was talking more specifically to a non-jazz audience (they were still considered a pop group that was making a crossover at this time). no doubt they have a lot of really easy to listen music if you are prepared for the dadaistic breaks throughout.

Yup. English Home Counties. That's pretty much 'received English'. They're from Kent, specifically, but that's not the Kent colloquial accent.

A most underrated band. I need to see this documentary in its entirety. This is the direction that so-called "fusion" SHOULD have gone. At 3:10, though, what is that keyboard instrument that Ratledge is playing? He used it on many tracks and I always wanted to know. Please tell me. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it is just an organ with a distortion effect. It probably just isnt played through a leslie and has some different settings on the drawbars. thats what I think

A Lowrey combo organ with a fuzz pedal, he picked out some stinging leads with it, and dig the dissonance at the beginning of Virtually... all that instrument. The funny thing is Lowrey organs were cheap and not many people gigged them ever.
