The album of superlative new material marks a fresh\u003cbr\u003e\r\nchapter in the group's 60-year history. Whilst the line-up of Soft\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMachine may have changed many times since the heady days of the\u003cbr\u003e\r\nlate 1960s, the band's spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with\u003cbr\u003e\r\nwhich it freely avoids being pigeonholed has stayed a constant - as\u003cbr\u003e\r\nit moves from powerful progressive jazz rock to atmospheric\u003cbr\u003e\r\npsychedelia to free improvised jazz to ambient loop music.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e'Thirteen' features legendary guitarist John Etheridge, who has been\u003cbr\u003e\r\nwith the band over 50 years and is once again in superb form. Whilst\u003cbr\u003e\r\nall four members of the band contribute compositions, the album's\u003cbr\u003e\r\nmain composer is saxophonist, flautist and keyboard player Theo\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTravis, who wrote six of the album's thirteen tracks. The newest\u003cbr\u003e\r\nmember of the group is drummer and composer Asaf Sirkis.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is incredibly broad in its breadth and scope. Tracks\u003cbr\u003e\r\ninclude \"Open Road\" a rocky track which sees the band soaring on\u003cbr\u003e\r\nall burners with fiery solos by both Etheridge and Travis; the ballad\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Disappear\", which starts with ethereal looped flutes and develops\u003cbr\u003e\r\ninto a beautiful piano led and drum less miniature. \"Turmoil\", penned\u003cbr\u003e\r\nby bassist Fred Thelonious Baker, brims with deranged fuzz bass,\u003cbr\u003e\r\nmanic solos and an almost unhinged clamour. \"Daevid's Special\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCuppa\" sees a cameo by founder member Daevid Allen (his guitar\u003cbr\u003e\r\npart being recorded years earlier, and the track built around it).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOn 'Thirteen' Soft Machine has never sounded more adventurous\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability : PRE ORDER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: 2xLP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/27\/2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":49263719448818,"sku":"NBGZT1-WB10-00","price":49.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/alt-indie-new_mhsfD.jpg?v=1779748874","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/soft-machine-thirteen-2x-vinyl-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
