{"product_id":"thirteen-5052442030485","title":"Thirteen","description":"'Thirteen' is the thirteenth studio album by classic British prog band  Soft Machine. The album of superlative new material marks a fresh  chapter in the group's 60-year history. Whilst the line-up of Soft  Machine may have changed many times since the heady days of the  late 1960s, the band's spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with  which it freely avoids being pigeonholed has stayed a constant - as  it moves from powerful progressive jazz rock to atmospheric  psychedelia to free improvised jazz to ambient loop music.  'Thirteen' features legendary guitarist John Etheridge, who has been  with the band over 50 years and is once again in superb form. Whilst  all four members of the band contribute compositions, the album's  main composer is saxophonist, flautist and keyboard player Theo  Travis, who wrote six of the album's thirteen tracks. The newest  member of the group is drummer and composer Asaf Sirkis.  The album is incredibly broad in it's breadth and scope. Tracks  include \"Open Road\" a rocky track which sees the band soaring on  all burners with fiery solos by both Etheridge and Travis; the ballad  \"Disappear\", which starts with ethereal looped flutes and develops  into a beautiful piano led and drum less miniature. \"Turmoil\", penned  by bassist Fred Thelonious Baker, brims with deranged fuzz bass,  manic solos and an almost unhinged clamour. \"Daevid's Special  Cuppa\" sees a cameo by founder member Daevid Allen (his guitar  part being recorded years earlier, and the track built around it).  On 'Thirteen' Soft Machine has never sounded more adventurous","brand":"Dyad Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46270555062355,"sku":"2780905X","price":51.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4490318.jpg?v=1789393957","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/thirteen-5052442030485","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
