SOFT MACHINE is a legendary British band considered as a true Progressive rock forerunner, about one year before the release of the KING CRIMSON's legendary "In The Court Of The Crimson King", which is usually regarded as the starting point of the musical genre. Abandoning the usual and simple numbering of the albums, the eighth one, "Bundles" (1975), opened a new era, featuring a jazz-rock fusion style and a prodigious guitarist named Allan HOLDSWORTH (UK, GONG, Tony WILLIAMS LIFETIME...). In spite of the impressing number of live albums SOFT MACHINE released, this latter period had remained little represented, inexplicably. Thanks to the job of Moonjune (And Musea in Europe), this serious lack is filled today, as "Floating World Live" is released. Recorded on January 29th 1975 for Radio Bremen in Germany, this very long album presents a live performance mainly focusing on the titles of "Bundles". As usual, the finishing is flawless, and some large intervals are left spare for improvisation. Furthermore, the sound is remarkably clean, and the whole thing results in a true gem, to be owned whatever the price !
