Soft Machine is a journey through time and space and their glorious artistic past, but also through a classy present, with a band that, despite the changes in members, maintains intact that unique style of psychedelic jazz that combines power and subtlety and that is, almost six decades after its formation, a registered trademark of one of the greatest contemporary instrumental bands. - ROCKAXIS MAGAZINE, CHILE
The band enjoys life on that perilous bridge conjoining experimentation and tradition.- NEW YORK CITY JAZZ RECORD, USA
It’s impressive that they can still produce music with this level of invention and verve after more than fifty years, and there are no signs here of that stopping anytime soon I’m very pleased to say. - PROGRESSIVE ASPECT, USA
No band of this vintage have any right to still sound so fearless and ferocious. Don’t miss them! - PROG MAGAZINE, UK
The current incarnation of the band is actually bloody good! - THE JAZZ JOURNAL, UK
Masters of their craft, and truly at the top of their game, not only as soloists but as contributors in an actual band. ... challenging jazz-fusion, adventurous prog-rock, bits of chaotic free-jazz, atmospheric instrumental pop-jazz, and even a little hard rock. Extraordinary! - SEA OF TRANQUILITY, USA
For a band that has been around in different shapes and forms producing unconventional music for more than 50 years, it is a triumph to still be able to play at this level of complexity and to come across as vigorous as this. Old music, but young heart indeed. - DPRP, UK/Netherlands
