Fifth

by Soft Machine

Fifth cover art

With Robert Wyatt having officially departed, Soft Machine completely severed their ties to eccentric pop structures and fully embraced highly abstract jazz fusion. 'Fifth' is a wonderfully mysterious, fiercely complex instrumental album, driven by Elton Dean's intense saxophone work and deeply atmospheric, highly progressive avant-garde improvisations.
