{"product_id":"soft-machine-thirteen-2lp","title":"Soft Machine - Thirteen (2LP)","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n'Thirteen' is the thirteenth studio album by classic British prog band Soft \nMachine. The album of superlative new material, marks a fresh chapter in the \ngroup's 60-year history\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the heady \ndays of the late 1960s, the band's spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with which \nit freely avoids being pigeonholed has stayed a constant - as it moves from powerful \nprogressive jazz rock to atmospheric psychedelia to free improvised jazz to ambient \nloop music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n'Thirteen' features legendary guitarist John Etheridge , who has been with the band \nover 50 years and is once again in superb form. Whilst all four members of the band \ncontribute compositions, the album's main composer is saxophonist, fautist and \nkeyboard player Theo Travis, who wrote six of the album's thirteen tracks. The newest \nmember of the group is drummer and composer Asaf Sirkis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe album is incredibly broad in its breadth and scope. Tracks include \"Open Road\" a \nrocky track which sees the band soaring on all burners with fery solos by both \nEtheridge and Travis; the ballad \"Disappear\", which starts with ethereal looped futes \nand develops into a beautiful piano led and drum less miniature. \"Turmoil\", penned by \nbassist Fred Thelonious Baker, brims with deranged fuzz bass, manic solos and an \nalmost unhinged clamour. \"Daevid's Special Cuppa\" sees a cameo by founder member \nDaevid Allen (his guitar part being recorded years earlier, and the track built around it).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn 'Thirteen' Soft Machine has never sounded more adventurous.\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1.
