On their rousing new live disc for MoonJune, LIVE ADVENTURES, SML covers more vintage Soft Machine repertoire than on previous releases, yet reinvigorates the tunes by means of fresh arrangements and expansive improvisation. Soft Machine partisans will rejoice at the inclusion of such repertory gems as quot;Gesolreutquot;, in which the band lays bare the funky heart of it's signature elliptical ostinato with steaming soli and propulsive grooves. There is no potted history of Soft Machine, but living, breathing music.
