{"product_id":"5052442030485","title":"THIRTEEN (2LP) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoft Machine, 'Thirteen' is the thirteenth studio album by classic British prog band   Soft Machine. The album of superlative new material marks a fresh   chapter in the group's 60-year history. Whilst the line-up of Soft   Machine may have changed many times since the heady days of the   late 1960s, the band's spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with   which it freely avoids being pigeonholed has stayed a constant - as   it moves from powerful progressive jazz rock to atmospheric   psychedelia to free improvised jazz to ambient loop music.    'Thirteen' features legendary guitarist John Etheridge, who has been   with the band over 50 years and is once again in superb form. Whilst   all four members of the band contribute compositions, the album's   main composer is saxophonist, flautist and keyboard player Theo   Travis, who wrote six of the album's thirteen tracks. The newest   member of the group is drummer and composer Asaf Sirkis.    The album is incredibly broad in it's breadth and scope. Tracks   include \"Open Road\" a rocky track which sees the band soaring on   all burners with fiery solos by both Etheridge and Travis; the ballad   \"Disappear\", which starts with ethereal looped flutes and develops   into a beautiful piano led and drum less miniature. \"Turmoil\", penned   by bassist Fred Thelonious Baker, brims with deranged fuzz bass,   manic solos and an almost unhinged clamour. \"Daevid's Special   Cuppa\" sees a cameo by founder member Daevid Allen (his guitar   part being recorded years earlier, and the track built around it).    On 'Thirteen' Soft Machine has never sounded more adventurous\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOFT MACHINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242707202293,"sku":"5052442030485","price":45.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/5052442030485.jpg?v=1780893608","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/5052442030485","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
