Album Notes & Community Reviews

A charming and eccentric set of pop-rock vignettes from the former Soft Machine founder, recorded at a leisurely pace in his home studio. 'Rainbow Takeaway' features idiosyncratic production and a rotating cast of session players, blending his signature melancholic English wit with eclectic, reggae-tinged soft rock elements.
