After 32 years I have not understood what really is to the extraordinary charm of the early Soft Machine.
It is important not speak of progressive jazz that comes commendably saw the group represent a kind of perverse intelligent fusion of different languages \u200b\u200bto each other like jazz, soul and rock. I am referring primarily to the form of mutant psychedelia "that allows one of the most unlikely one of the" power trio "of the time (bass drums and keyboards) to tell stories of side existence and behavior in songs seemingly fragile melodies and linear supported by a powerful music system progressive "deviated" from the distortions and "mutations electromagnetic" Instrument filtered and manipulated into exasperation.
Whatever the artistic opinion, one can not appreciate the willingness to go "beyond", to test the possibility of any form of interaction between musical instruments, personality and sensibility of the individual musicians involved, together with the sole aim of moving towards the boundaries of the "possible" scenario sound (and not only) in boiling youth music of the late sixties.
Submit to listen NOW Soft Machine to younger generations is (to borrow a quote from a well-known "elsewhere") all well and good, especially because it may be the only hope to remember that to reach new frontiers of art must have the courage to seek new solutions, new ideas to ride and not be afraid of the terrible claustrophobia of "niches" in which there is a risk (indeed we have the certainty) of being careless and poorly placed for generations likely to stimulate individual emotions, preferring a mass culture and uniformity.
Basically (again metaphorically) SOFT MACHINE is a stone, and on that stone ...
