Скачать или смотреть The Soft Machine - Volume Two - Orange Skin Food

Volume Two is the second LP by The Soft Machine (although it was their debut in home country of the UK), released in 1969. The album combined humour, dada, psychedelia and jazz. The Soft Machine had split up in September 1968 but reunited that December without bassist/singer Kevin Ayers in order to fulfill contractual obligations. Their road manager Hugh Hopper took Ayers' place on bass and a second album was recorded in early 1969. The group's sound had been radically altered from the first album, pushing much further in a complex prog and jazz-fusion direction with Hugh's brother Brian Hopper guesting on soprano and tenor saxophones. While the highly uncommercial album failed to chart anywhere, a contemporary review in Melody Maker noted it was "little short of brilliant for much of its length". Retrospective reviews have also praised it as an early, important work in the progressive rock and Canterbury scenes. "Orange Skin Food" - fifth song on the B-side of the album. (Wiki, Discogs)
