Customer Reviews of Six
This is good Softs This is a good Soft Machine record. The most notable piece is Chloe and the Pirates. Really a triumph for 1973. Michael Ratledge's best piece ever. The album is a mixed bag really, with the last cuts being some of the best Softs and the earlier cuts being some of the most boring. Buy it for Chloe and the Pirates. You will not be disappointed! Decent spin!
The actual change by Soft Machine starts here...
This is one of the best Soft Machine albums and quite underrated by the critics as well.Every person fond of complex and "brainstorming" music, like the modern experimental works from the French Zeuhl music and the experimental symphonic ones as well(such as Magma, Dun and Minimum Vital) is involved in some stuff which is far from this Soft Machine work, but not very different. "Six" is the roundabout for S.M., then you can choose to continue with their music or change in order to hold the most difficult style of Zeuhl music...
However this work is highly recommended and not only as an historical document!!
Amazing jazzrock from one of my alltime favourite bands
I almost forgot about this album - to be honest - and bought the remastered version today. It is simply amazing! Although Elton Dean left the band after "Fifth", Karl Jenkins is a worthy replacement, adding a new sound to the band playing the oboe (among other instruments).
The rhythm section with Hugh Hopper on bass and John Marshall on drums is so awesome I can't find words to describe it. Mike Ratledge flourishes on the keyboards and it seems like elements from previous albums blend together in a perfect mix: tapeloops, experimental pieces, jazz, jazzrock, rock.
The first part, recorded live, is reason alone to buy this album.
The Soft Machine went on to become Jenkins' band and I stopped listening after "Softs" which was IMHO the end of the real Soft Machine.
