SOFT MACHINE - Third

dublul album al acestei excelente formatii britanice imi este printre cele mai dragi.
muzicieni de prima mana,au facut ca jazz-ul anilor '70 sa se echilibreze intr-un fel in permanenta disputa europeano-americana care a facut ca acest gen muzical sa se dezvolte oferind creatii ce nu pot trece neobservate.
dintre numeroasele lor albume acesta mi se pare reprezentativ aducand in prim plan jazzrock-ul ca subramura consolidata a genului......
