Reviews

I cant disagree with the below reviewer enough. This remaster is nicely done... it sounds huge, with warmth and depth. It doesnt matter if its this 2009 CD or the Japanese 2013 SHM or 2022 reissues it sounds brilliant to me. No complaints at all for a tenner
-
As much as i love early Soft Machine ,this so called remaster isnt a remaster at all, its a huge downgrade, for volume one and two, stay clear of these remasters andsearch out : The Soft Machine Collection aka Architects of Space Time aka Volume One and Two, It will be a whole new experience for you if you are a fan !
