the first one has been a personal favorite for a few years now, seven is fantastic although nothing like the old stuff, and i also have Third and Bundles, but...i really wanna hear the rest. finally got the second album in mp3 form and it is fucking AMAZING. i seriously love this band. how are the albums between third and seven? post-seven?P.S. if anybody's got a spare copy of the second album...PM me asap.

    Oh yeah, please do! This is so good, and nice quality too. Damn, Mike Ratledge got that druggy-brainiac-on-the-keys look. The sound is very much a la 'Third' from that year. 'Fourth' is also nice. I'm missing a couple of SM's, but they'll turn up soon enough. I also got 'Live At The Proms '70' which was released in '88. Also nice, but a bit too incohesive. Big ups on the vid, Slush.

    4, 5, & 6 are all dope. Bundles came out after 7 & I don't really like it so much. there's been a copy of six sitting in a shop down the street for months. 5 bucks. Holler if you want me to grab it.

    Robert Wyatt-era Softs (first three albums) are some of my favorite shit ever, the rest are okay to good but nothing approaching that level of greatness...

    I just caught that Nucleus SNAKEHIPS ETC which reminded me of later Soft Machine material

    Cosign on the soft machine bbc sessions really incredible shit.

    These are the sessions that have been issued numerous times w/diff titles on diff labels right??? Jet=Propelled Photographs etc?

    Is Daevid Allen on those? I can't remember... I know he's on the first single...

    hey i love soft machine too. personal faves are 1, 6, 7. i think 5 isn't that great, sort of jazzy and atonal. i think i've never heard 4, but i can't remember.

    btw i have an extra copy of one. sort of scratched any one wants it give me their address and i can send it free.

    thank you so much for this soft machine is my favorite!!! i can listen to vol 1 & 2 for days. their melodies were so gorgeous and wyatt has such a great voice and is an amazing drummer, probably my favorite drummer next to andrew cyrille and john bonham

    id be interested in the $5 copy...yeah bundles..isnt so great. but 7 is amazing!

    is 6 pretty comparable to seven? or what?

    what's "Softs"..is that 5? or 4? or something completely different?

    I'll pick it up. It's good, maybe not as good as 7, but similar.
