Album Notes & Community Reviews

After a prolonged period of silence, the founding Soft Machine member returned with this understated, largely acoustic collection. 'Still Life With Guitar' finds the eccentric British songwriter scaling back his psychedelic tendencies in favor of warm, melodic pop-rock and rootsy introspection. The album features notable guest contributions from longtime collaborator Mike Oldfield.
