Their new album, crafted with a fresh lineup, pays homage to the band's history while marking the maiden voyage of the reborn Soft Machine!\n\n\n\nFollowing the 2023 release of the album Other Doors, drummer John Marshall passed away suddenly. The band welcomed Asaf Sarkis, one of the top drummers in the British jazz scene, and continues its activities with this new lineup. After several concerts, they began recording new material with this lineup. The completed album, being their thirteenth, is simply titled 'Thirteen (13 - Thirteen)'.\n\n\n\nJohn Esaridge's technical and solid guitar playing and Theo Travis's emotional and lyrical horn playing take center stage, woven together by the vital rhythm section of Fred Baker and Asaf Sarkis. This sound evokes Soft Machine albums like the popular 'Bundles' and 'Softs (original title: Softs). It also pays homage to the guitar sound of the late David Allen, the band's founder. The Japanese edition exclusively features UHQCD\/original LP reproduction paper sleeve packaging, plus two bonus tracks, released ahead of the global release.\n\n\n\nDomestic Release \/ First Pressing Limited Edition *UHQCD *E-style Single Paper Jacket (with obi strip and Japanese liner notes) Insert Bonus: Jacket Design Sticker John Esaridge (Electric Guitar) Theo Travis (Tenor and Soprano Saxes, Flute, Alto Flute, Duduk, Fender Rhodes Piano, Piano, Mellotron, Electronics)\n\nFred Baker (Fretless Bass) Asaf Sarkis (Drums, Percussion, Piano) With Guests David Allen (Glissando Guitar) *Track 13 Pete Whitaker (Organ, Fender Rhodes piano) *Track 2, 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IAC Music Japan\/June Dream","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52283310342433,"sku":"4580783650488","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4580783650488.jpg?v=1769903532","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-gb\/products\/4580783650488","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
