Four tracks. Four sides. Over eighty minutes. The third Soft Machine album following the departure of Kevin Ayers. will not be to everyone's taste and frankly it's not always to mine, At least initually. .It's something that demands full immersion. Eventually I find myself immersed. At a certain point I actually find myself hoping it will last forever. Certainly coveting it. A cast spell.
I needed a second more informed opinion so messaged a friend who's more informed in these matters . He loves the record and told me a story about how he was on his way back frim the Inner Hebridean Isle if Tiree, listening to it amd a breach of dolphins breached next to the boat. As with the best listening experiences this has been an epiphany
