Whilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the\u003cbr\u003eheady days of the late 1960s, the band's spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with\u003cbr\u003ewhich it freely avoids being pigeonholed has stayed a constant - as it moves from\u003cbr\u003epowerful progressive jazz rock to atmospheric psychedelia to free improvised jazz to\u003cbr\u003eambient loop music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW129228526 BCX0\"\u003e'Thirteen' features legendary guitarist John Etheridge , who has been with the band\u003cbr\u003eover 50 years and is once again in superb form. Whilst all four members of the band\u003cbr\u003econtribute compositions, the album's main composer is saxophonist, flautist and\u003cbr\u003ekeyboard player Theo Travis, who wrote six of the album's thirteen tracks. The newest\u003cbr\u003emember of the group is drummer and composer Asaf Sirkis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW129228526 BCX0\"\u003eThe album is incredibly broad in its breadth and scope. Tracks include \"Open Road\" a\u003cbr\u003erocky track which sees the band soaring on all burners with fiery solos by both\u003cbr\u003eEtheridge and Travis; the ballad \"Disappear\", which starts with ethereal looped flutes\u003cbr\u003eand develops into a beautiful piano led and drum less miniature. \"Turmoil\", penned by\u003cbr\u003ebassist Fred Thelonious Baker, brims with deranged fuzz bass, manic solos and an\u003cbr\u003ealmost unhinged clamour. \"Daevid's Special Cuppa\" sees a cameo by founder member\u003cbr\u003eDaevid Allen (his guitar part being recorded years earlier, and the track built around it).\u003cbr\u003eOn 'Thirteen' Soft Machine has never sounded more adventurous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW129228526 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
