Title: My Favorite Soft Machine Album
Review: A lot of people criticize Soft Machine's work after Robert Wyatt's departure, but I think they got more focused in their pursuit of jazz-rock fusion. Wyatt got to do the vocal music he wanted to do as a soloist, while Soft Machine became more accomplished instrumentally. The real unsung hero on Six is bassist Hugh Hopper. While not playing anything overly complex, he provides a solid foundation and groove for the soloists to play over top of. One of my favorite 70's fusion albums.
