Soft Machines's "Fifth" (also known as "5") finally get the 24-bit remastering(from original tapes)that it deserves!!! Awesome full-detailed sound!!! Great booklet with photos and liner notes too!!! A jazz rock classic!!! Great playing from Hugh Hopper,Mike Ratledge,the late Elton Dean,Phil Howard,John Marshall,and Roy Babington!!! There's even a rare alternate take of "All White" included as a bonus track!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, November 23, 2009
Like most Soft Machine, Five is fantastic jazz fussion. Listening, you hear ambient, eletronic loops, synth experiments; all the invention any Miles or Mahavishnu or any top flight jazz band of the era were developing, each with an indvidual stamp.

But Robert Wyatt had left the band after Fourth. By now, the Softs had dropped the dada humor that made the first two albums, and Wyatt's "Moon In June" from Third, one of the most hip and unique bands, ever, in rock. Mike Rattledge took over the band, which went from being the English Mother's Of Invention to a keybord labratory, albeit a fantastic one.

In and of itself Five is a great record, filled with all the invention you expect from a top flight progressive band of the early 1970s.

But I miss the uniqueness that this band invented on the unqualified materpeices, Vols. 1&2
