Stu, since you like early Soft Machine so much, don't forget to check out Matching Mole if you haven't already. Robert Wyatt didn't like the purely instrumental jazz direction Soft Machine was headed in. Appearantly, Moon in June barely made it on to Third as most of the members weren't too keen on doing that kind of stuff (singing and stuff) at that point. Robert was pretty torn up about it all so when he left Soft Machine, he started a new band which was pretty much a continuation of the kind of stuff Robert liked doing in Soft Machine. Even the name was similar in a sense; the softs played a lot in France and Soft Machine in french is "Machine Molle" .. And Robert's new band was Matching Mole.

Here's one of my favourite songs from their debut!



Note the brilliant lyrics Wonderful stuff!
