'Six' from 1973 was originally a double-album's worth of material towards the close of the Soft Machine's early fusion period. The first half is live, the second half is studio. The opening 'Fanfare,' though it lasts less than a minute, is a good splash of electrified Coltrania. Then, the band immediately shifts gears into 'All White,' and they're off! the softs glide through, among other things, a shimmering duet of heavenly rhodes ('between'), funk ('gesolreut'), and a meanriff alternating in (seriously) 6\/4, 9\/8, 3\/4, 9\/8. the studio half, with each band member allotted one piece, also features some sadly overlooked material, like the ambient-fusion of karl jenkins' 'soft weed factor.' Soft Machine are an English rock and jazz band from Canterbury, named after the book The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix is the sixth studio (instrumental) album (half including live material) by the Canterbury associated band Soft Machine, originally released in 1973 as a double LP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talking Elephant","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50488588337483,"sku":"279874","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/39601396-b18e-46af-b435-7a85dcf0f5b2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727630332","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/six-5","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
