The scope and depth of this band can in some measure be put down to the personnel changes over the years, however the range of live recording that have been released over the past few years remains astonishing in its variety. Live performance was rarely a slavish rendition of album tracks; therefore what you get on live Soft Machine albums, as with the best live jazz albums, is a whole different experience. Even when the titles of the tracks are familiar their rendition is always new and fresh. In this case for example The Man Who Waved At Trains takes on a whole new feel; it is transformed from the slightly mechanistic album track to a soulful more organic piece with emotional an depth that last four studio albums by Soft Machine lacked. This is a band that have had a continued life on the back of a wonderful archive of live recordings the vast majority of which is more than worth adding to your Soft machine collection.

This album captures this softs line up live from radio bremen originally. This is a good performance and the band interaction is excellent. This is a band that has grown used to the material from the studio album and can now run with it. I know one man doesn't make a band but the great guitarist allan holdsworth plays on this which is worth the entry fee alone. He plays his heart out in his solo spots.

Having waited in vain for years for Bundles to come out on CD I grasped the opportunity of ordering this album. It's the best ever Soft Machine album. I used to go see Soft Machine in concert a lot around this time and this is simply amazing, breathtaking, stunning. Everyone gets to shine and there are some noises in there that take some imagination to figure out their derivation. Not an album to play on a first date or when the Mrs is in the house, but if you are into This Kind Of Music you will not be disappointed. How does That Allan Holdsworth play so many notes and still make it musical? Nice violin playing by the man too! A must buy...

Holdsworth on fire
The guitar playing on this album by one of my favourite guitarists is truly outstanding. It's a shame the same cannot be said of the rest of the playing. Read more
