 Rating: - This album is GLORIOUSMore correctly, this review's title should be "This remaster is glorious." I've been a fan of The Soft Machine Vols. 1 & 2 for quite a while, and I've owned Third for over five years, but I never really "got" it until I purchased this recent remastered reissue. The sound is so much improved that it really transforms the album, giving the music a vitality that simply isn't there in the early 90's reissue. Listen to this reissue and you'll understand why this is the grandest statement that the Soft Machine would ever make, and one of the top albums ever produced by any of the prolific Canterbury bands. How can this music be accurately described? It's tough--"jazz-rock" and "fusion" don't come close to doing this genre-cracking ...

I NEVER would have thought I would enjoy music that did not have a guitar but there you are! "Third" is innovative, melodic, intricate, and intriguing. Rating: - Absolutely The Best Progressive Jazz Rock Album!This release by Soft Machine is simply the best the many-membered band ever did. It is the zenith of their creativity, verve and execution. This line-up - with drummer, vocalist extraordaire Robert Wyatt, the late saxophone god Elton Dean, multi-keyboard legend Mike Ratledge and the mighty monster of the fuzz bass Hugh Hopper produced some of the most imaginative, melody-laden, downright breathtaking compositions all driven by the compelling rhythm section of Hopper/Wyatt. The band never sounded more experimental, unforgettable and soulful than they did on this album. This particular release is further enhanced by the inclusion of a second disc - the live recording done at their famous Proms appearance. It is noticeably enhanced by a far better ...

Time moves on, however, and I am now fully in love with 'Third'! It grew on me over the years, but with this amazing new remaster, it now sits alongside those first two as an equal yet very different animal. 'Moon In June' is still the tops here featuring the genius of Robert Wyatt, while 'Out Bloody Rageous' is simply breathtaking. The sound on this re-issue is just fantastic--so clear and sharp! The bonus disc of BBC recordings is a wonderful addition and a very nice booklet too. Highly recommended!! Rating: - hallelujah! finally, this masterpiece gets the remastering it deserved.one of the first scribblings i ever put out on amazon was a cry for somebody to remaster this great album. the original cd version had about as bad a sound quality to it that you can get. now that egregious error has been corrected. this masterpiece is finally available in a rich wonderful sound. and you even get liner notes and a bonus disc of a live performance done at a classic music festival broadcast on bbc 3 in 1970, the same year this album was recorded. soft machine took their name from a william burroughs novel, and nowhere else in their discography does that seem more appropriate than on this recording. the sounds here (which are an energetic fusion of avante-garde jazz and wildly creative rock) are completely iconoclastic in spirit, just ...
