@Jeffman1 I purchased Vo. 1 & Vol. 2 on one disc many years ago as my introduction to Soft Machine because I was reading William Burroughs; I shall have to give 'Six' a listen, thanks for the recommendation.
@Bukowski Of course it depends on your tolerance to jazz fusion, as any Soft Machine after 'Third' is jazz fusion all the way. (aside from final album 'Land of Cockayne', which is more in keeping with Karl Jenkins' future career as a composer)
@Jeffman1 I think that everyone has a tolerance when it comes to 'abstraction' in music, for example John Coltrane - 'Ascension' is beyond my tolerance.

Oh, wonderful. I thought I was the only person who loves this album, many thanks.

@Bukowski Ahaha...the canterbury scene fascinates me so much. And this album is SPECTACULAR!!!
Jeffman1
@Bukowski I'm with you on that one, though my favourite has to be either 'Volume 1' or 'Six'. Such a stark contrast between the two.
Jeffman1
@dylandrygin Great choice, BTW
