Soft Machine/Italy 1972 & more

As you can see from the list of songs, Disc 1 is a LIVE with members of “5” including John Marshall. And the second one is LIVE after Dean left and Karl Jenkins joined due to Marshall’s nucleus connection. Even though it’s from 1972, the sound is completely different. April still has a strong jazz tone due to Dean’s influence (Marshall’s drumming is amazing), but after Jenkins joined in December, it has definitely become more minimalist. Numbers around “3” such as “Slightly All The Time” and “Out-Bloody-Rageous” by members of “5”, LIVE take of “Drop” and “The Soft Weed Factor” by members of “6” You can enjoy a surprising number of listening stations such as LIVE takes. This is a must-listen disc for enthusiasts who can see the transition from “5” to “6”, but the sound quality is not that good. Disc 1 Live at Piper Club,Rome,Italy April.24.1972 1.
