Soft Machine - 'Thirteen' (2026)

#JohnEtheridge, #TheoTravis, #FredTheloneousBaker and #AsafSirkis created a new #SoftMachine album and in my humble ears it's one of their best from the recent years. 'The Longest Night' is just a monster track!

The new #SoftMachine album is simply superb. Atmospheric at times, at other moments is a rousing adventure. #JohnEtheridge, #TheoTravis, #JohnMarshall, #FredTheloniousBaker and #RoyBabbington in great form!
