From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

One of the best and most versatile jazz rock fusion albums in my collection. Here the band just rocks. One of the best albums Allan Holdsworth played on. I love UK and Bruford but the quintet of Soft Machine is a really good oiled machine. Karl Jenkins really know how to write decent songs/themes, although he most obvious borrowed a theme from his former band Nucleus. Apparently he liked his riff so much he recycled it for Soft Machine.

The earlier albums of The Soft Machine were mostly very frenetic and too eclectic for me, while this version of The Soft Machine is more harmonious and tight.

Also the cover artwork helps a lot to rate this album so high.
