   Is Soft Machine a good album?

   • Overall this album is not nearly so strong-but the sound of the guitar (thanks to producer Mike Thorn) is excellent. On the road Soft Machine was a difficult experience socially. It was not a happy band. Ratledge wanted to leave and there was quite a bit of tension between the other members.
