Soft Machine - Floating World Live - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In 1969 the band performed at the famous Paradiso club in Amsterdam, and the line-up was Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge, and the former roadie Hugh Hopper.

Soft Machine is a journey through time and space and their glorious artistic past, but also through a classy present, with a band that, despite the changes in members, maintains intact that unique style of psychedelic jazz that combines power and subtlety and that is, almost six decades after it's formation, a registered trademark of one of the greatest contemporary instrumental bands. - ROCKAXIS MAGAZINE, CHILE.
