Description

The Soft Machine ? "The Soft Machine"  Probe ? CPLP 4500 Vinyl, LP, Gatefold die-cut sleeve, uncensored. Released in December 1968.
The Soft Machine (also titled "Volume One" as a reissue) is the debut album by the British psychedelic rock band Soft Machine, released in 1968.
Founded in 1966, Soft Machine (one of the central bands in the Canterbury scene) recorded and released this studio album during their 1968 tour of the USA. It was produced by Chas Chandler and Tom Wilson.
This album fused psychedelic rock with jazz and soft rock, making it highly experimental. The work on this album was one of the essential roots in progressive rock and jazz-fusion.
The song "Joy of a Toy" is one of the first compositions to feature a bass guitar melody played through a Wah-wah pedal.
