And so it continues. The passing of the late, great Elton Dean must have been a big hit to the system, but Soft Machine Legacy have dusted themselves down, brought in the multi-talented Theo Travis and got on with doing what they do best - exploring the possibilities and boundaries of music.
Although, this is probably the first of their albums where Legacy is almost a complete misnomer. For this is totaly forward looking music, drenched in loops and sampling, as Hugh Hopper seems to have found a sympathetic partner with Travis now on board. Combined with the unique manner in which John Eteridge approaches his guitar, this album has some remarkable high points. I'm not denying that there are low points as well, but that's a chance you take when you investigate improvised music.
It's probably why I find myself returning to the more compositional elements of the CD with Etheridges 'In The Back Room' already a firm favourite alongside the Hugh Hopper / John Marshall number 'Firefly'.
Punters in search of the legacy will find themselves drawn to the reimagining of 'Chloe & The Pirates' from Soft Machines "Six", but there's plenty of modern magic to make them stick around.

For those of you who were alive at the time the name of David Fairclough (Liverpool FC 74-83 ish) conjures up memories of him racing on with 20 mins to go and scoring a goal within 5 seconds or thereabouts. He was the original Super-sub.
Well Theo Travis is rapidly acquiring the same status - he ably filled David Jackson's (VDGG) role in the Tangent, has covered Didier Malherbe's spot in Gong and has now stepped into the not inconsiderable shoes of the late great Elton Dean. Now it would be a disservice to imply that Theo is not his own man - more its a case of him being in the right place. Got a vacancy for horns - who you gonna call? ....the bloke down the street or one of the best in the business? (5 points off for those who thought "Ghostbusters") In Theo's case it is more a case of Super-Sax than super sub.
The trio of Softs have taken Theo to their collective bosom and it's not as though there is not some collaborative history there. As I recall Theo's played with John Marshall before.
This record follows on from the previous Legacy album and is just as great - a quick nod to the past, two eyes to the front. Superb playing and an unfussy bright non intrusive production which lets the music do the talking.
Genuinely inspiring playing - more power to their collective elbow.
I commend this CD to the House.

I was a bit unsure about this bands continuation after the death of Elton Dean and his replacement with Theo Travis, who does not have a strong Soft Machine legacy so far as i can see, seemed like a gamble. I should not have worried. This is a fine album. They even tackle Mike Ratledge's Chloe & tha Pirates breathing fresh life into it as well.
I was always a Canterbury Scene fan (yes I know so don't get hung up on the relevance of that label) and althoughthere is plenty out there to get my teeth into from reissues and a flurry of Soft Machine live recordings to Soft Heap, Head & Works etc, I am still glad to hear Hugh Hopper and John Marshall in a genuinely creative context that is true to their early roots.
If you like good music buy this!
