Fav. track - Why Are We Sleeping?
Fav. album - not exactly an album, but their first single, "Love Makes
Sweet Music / Feelin' Reelin' Squeelin'"
Fav. thing about - Possibly the best out of Canterbury
Worst thing about - Bad things happen in France.
Comment - They did two alternate versions of "Feelin' Reelin' Squeelin'"
under the moniker The Beautiful on an American single, "Shadows In The Sun
/ Walter's Dream". The B-side appears on Rubble 20; the flip hasn't truly
seen the light of day.

Fav. Song- Reelin' Feelin'
Squeelin'
Fav. Album- One
Best Thing- No one sounded like 'em.
Worst Thing- Lineup changed too much. Didn't have Ayers on vocals more often.
Any other comment- Finally, I always felt if Tomorrow and the Pink Floyd were in
then the Soft Machine had to come soon after.

1--Favourite
track
Wow. The Soft Machine. What do I say? "Why Are We Sleeping" I suppose.
Oh, this is hard.
2--Favourite album
Don't have one anyway.
3--Best thing about...
Two words.....Kevin Ayers
4--Worst thing about...
Two words....... jazz fusion
5--Any other comment.
I probably should not even be posting about the Softies as this is clearly not
the kind of 60s music that I enjoy. Elton Dean, oi! And how
did Chas Chandler get mixed up in all this?

Favourite Track: A Certain
Kind
Favourite Album: Vol. One
Best Thing About 'em: The Wyatt years
Worst Thing About 'em: The jazz-rock years
Any Other Comment: Matching Mole, which was originally supposed to be a
Soft Machine Part 2 band, is actually much better, in my opinion. Check 'em
out...vote them in sometime!!
