The remaining members recovered the original moniker from the dust of 50+ years - read what they've got to https://www.echoesanddust.com/2017/07/soft-machine/" rel="nofollow - tell now (2017) about the band and the music (BTW the band has a new official webpage with updated info, see PA page for the link - the old link moved to footnote)  |

Still soft? Hey, that's nothing to brag about.

You know the old saying: those who most brag about are certainly the ones who merit the less. |

In terms of producing new fresh music these days the Softs pretty much beat them all (assuming that the last studio VDGG and KC albums are already published, but who knows?). |

Thank you for the link to the article! Haven't seen that one. I was fortunate to see Soft Machine in Berkeley earlier this year - speaking of full-circle (mentioned in the article in the context of Pink Floyd & Soft Machine), John Etheridge mentioned during the concert that the last time they had played in Berkeley was when they opened for Jimi Hendrix! I'm actually really into Roy Babbington - I'm a bass player and have long been fascinated with the Fender Bass VI, of which Sir Babbington is a master. I wrote about the concert and my https://hieronymousseven.wordpress.com/2019/02/16/bassist-roy-babbington/" rel="nofollow - https://hieronymousseven.wordpress.com/2019/02/16/bassist-roy-babbington/ I think I'm going to write another post updating with info from this article, so thanks again!
