I like Kevin's stuff, so are the SM albums with Kev similar or different to Kev's solo albums? If they are similar, then I suppose I'd like them! I only know the tracks 'Joy Of A Toy' via 'Joy Of A Toy continued' and 'Why Are We Sleeping'! Back to top

The Soft Machine is a very avantgarde band, and their first album (the only one with Ayers, if I'm not mistaken) seems to be their most "conventional". The rest is avantgarde to the top. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

I can't say for sure if they are similar to Kevin's stuff since it's quite a long time since I last heard them, and I don't have them here right now. From what I remember though, I'd say they are at least a bit similar. Back to top
