#3 Soft Machine-Third (CBS UK 1970)


Released in 1970 "Third" was a landmark record in the UK progressive rock scene. On "Third" the group made a record that was a bold fusion of avant-garde jazz and psychedelic rock. The album was a two record set that featured one extended piece on each side. But when played on CD the album sounds like one extended piece. It's a mesmerizing record that draws the listener in and takes them on a journey to parts unknown. "Third" is an album that just gets better with every listen and surely must rank among the greatest British records of the late 60's and early 70's.
