Cuneiform: Soft Machine – Grides / Dieses Wochenende für Five

Soft Machine were one of first and one of the greatest jazz/rock bands of all time. Their importance and influence was especially great in Europe, where they influenced several generations of bands, and their influences can still be heard to this day in bands like Jaga Jazzist. Tortoise and beyond.

„Soft Machine…certainly rank among the most influential ‚out‘ rock bands.“

– Dusted

Grides presents the most best-known version of the band recorded live at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on October 25, 1970, in a high-quality, previously unreleased recording, just a few months after the release of Third and at the peak of their popularity. It showcases them in transition between releases, with the band performing 3 of the four works from Third, as well as some of the earliest recordings of material from the upcoming Fourth, including some very different arrangements to what would eventually end up on that release. In addition, it features the earliest recording of Elton’s Neo-Caliban Grides, which has a fairly lengthy composed section that was never heard again. Bottom line: another excellent and essential archival release from a great band!
