prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I've only heard Third & Bundles. Both are very good. (Just got Bundles for Christmas)
I'm going to need to check out some more stuff and get back to you.

I would've recommended the Land of Cockayne album, but it doesn't appear to be popular amongst Soft Machine fans, considering I'm the only one who's voted for the album so far.  Top 7 update after two more rounds of voting:- 1. Third (85 points) 2. Volume Two (33 points) 2. Bundles (33 points) 4. Seven (24 points) 4. Fourth (24 points) 6. Softs (22 points) 7. The Soft Machine (21 points) 8. Six (18 points) 9. Land of Cockayne (12 points) 9. Hidden Details (12 points) Edited by Psychedelic Paul - December 29 2020 at 10:00 |

I thought you'd love the early SM, first two albums. Guess not... Seeing SM rated 2 stars like some boring bland predictable music is funny, but still.

^ You know me well enough by now to know that when it comes to my album ratings, you can expect the unexpected.

1. Bundles
2. Softs 3. Volume 1 4. Land of Cockayne 5. Hidden Details 6. Volume Two 7. Third I find 'Land of Cockayne' a very satisfying album to listen to. It's also a lovely swansong to the Karl Jenkins period of the band with JB guesting with his unmistakable bass playing. Kind of in a strange way psychedelic. P.S. I doubt whether this would be my final list as things change but my number one will be this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjhdbwYvgPk

Of the studio albums (though live tracks dot a few of the studio releases):
Seven Six Bundles Softs Third Second-First.......can't separate the two as I've had the pair on a single disc for sooooo long Land Fourth.....Wyatt! I need to give it another spin but I've never been able to get into it Fifth.....see above sans Wyatt; maybe it's cause I have the pair on a single CD that I don't dig it |

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

This is gonna be difficult. Virtually (get it?) nothing between some of these: 1. Bundles 2. Softs3. Seven 4. Six 5. Fifth 6. Fourth 7. Third But really for me it's like: 1. Bundles = Softs 2. Fourth = Fifth = Six = Seven 3. Third = Land of Cockayne = Alive and Well 4. Vol. 2 5. Debut (sorry, don't like it)
