283. The Soft Machine

(September 2020) Episode 283 is THE SOFT MACHINE.  Not well known, but quite influential as one of the first prog -rock and jazz-rock bands.  This UK outfit started out as a 60s psychedelic band, and their debut album is my favorite. “Third” is one of the definitive prog albums, but they didn’t linger long in that genre, moving on to jazz fusion. There are many spinoffs, but I only did the albums under The Soft Machine name.
