Hidden Details is the eleventh studio album by the jazz rock band Soft Machine, released in September 2018.

Overview

[edit]

Hidden Details is the first album released under the Soft Machine moniker since Land of Cockayne in 1981, with a six-night residency at Ronnie Scott's club in 1984 being the last time Soft Machine were active until 2015. Several members from Soft Machine's history operated under the name "Soft Machine Legacy" from 2004 until dropping the "Legacy" from their name in 2015, thus re-activating Soft Machine after 31 years. This album was recorded by the same line-up that released the Soft Machine Legacy album Burden of Proof in 2013. From the 1984 line-up were drummer John Marshall, who joined Soft Machine in 1972, and guitarist John Etheridge, who joined in 1975 and left in 1978 before re-joining for the 1984 shows. Bassist Roy Babbington, who was with Soft Machine during 1973 to 1976, was also included, while Theo Travis completed the line-up on keyboards and saxophone. "The Man Who Waved at Trains" is a rerecording of a track written by original member Ratledge from their 8th album Bundles. "Out Bloody Rageous" is a rerecording of a track from their album Third.[citation needed]

Hidden Details is the eleventh studio album by the British jazz-rock and band , released on September 7, 2018, by MoonJune Records. Featuring a lineup that includes John Etheridge, Roy Babbington, John Marshall, and multi-instrumentalist Theo Travis on tenor and soprano saxophones, flutes, and Fender Rhodes piano, the album revives elements of the band's influential 1970s sound from the . Recorded over three days from December 20 to 22, 2017, at Temple Music Studios in , —formerly owned by the late Jon Hiseman—the project captures the group's fusion of intricate improvisation, rock energy, and jazz complexity in a cohesive set of original compositions. The album comprises 13 tracks, including standout pieces like the title track "Hidden Details" (7:36), the atmospheric "Life on Bridges" (8:05), and a reimagined medley of the classic "Out-Bloody-Rageous" divided into two parts, totaling nearly 60 minutes of music that emphasizes tight ensemble playing and thematic continuity. Emerging from the band's reformation in 2015 under its original name—after years as Soft Machine Legacy—this release is notable for blending veteran members from the mid-1970s era with Travis's contributions, resulting in a modern yet nostalgic exploration of jazz-rock fusion and progressive styles. Critically, it has been praised for its high-quality production, instrumental precision, and ability to honor Soft Machine's legacy while offering fresh material, earning ratings around 3.87 out of 5 on progressive music platforms and recognition as an excellent addition to prog rock and jazz fusion collections. Available in CD, vinyl (including limited colored editions), and digital formats, Hidden Details underscores Soft Machine's enduring influence in avant-garde and improvisational music scenes.

Background

Historical Context

Soft Machine emerged in mid-1966 as a pioneering force in the , blending with improvisational elements that would evolve into jazz-rock fusion. Founded by drummer and vocalist , bassist and vocalist , guitarist , and keyboardist , the band quickly gained prominence in the UK underground during its psychedelic origins from 1967 to 1969, touring and releasing their debut album in 1968. The era, extending up to 1971, marked a transitional phase toward more structured compositions, highlighted by the commercial peak of their 1970 Third, which featured extended suites and showcased the band's shift toward jazz influences. Under 's leadership in the 1970s, further embraced fusion, achieving another milestone with the 1975 album Bundles, which introduced guitarist and emphasized virtuosic instrumentation. By the late , the band experienced a decline amid frequent lineup changes and the shifting tides of music trends away from progressive fusion toward punk and new wave. This instability culminated in their breakup in 1981 following the release of Land of Cockayne, their tenth studio album, which represented a final, subdued effort under the original name. Sporadic reformations occurred in the and under variant names to evade legal issues with the ; notably, Legacy formed in 2004 with , , , and . After Dean's death in 2006, joined on saxophone and keyboards; following Hopper's death in 2009, Roy Babbington joined on bass, continuing the jazz-rock legacy through several albums and tours. In 2015, driven by enduring fan demand for a classic lineup reunion, the group revived the Soft Machine name for the first time since 1981, with Etheridge, Babbington, Marshall, and Travis performing live. This marked an official resurgence, building on Legacy's momentum, as the quartet embarked on tours from 2015 to 2017 across and , honing material that would culminate in new studio recordings. These performances revitalized the band's profile, paving the way for Hidden Details as their first original album under the Soft Machine banner in over three decades.

Lineup Formation

The formation of the lineup for Soft Machine's 2018 album Hidden Details stemmed from the 2015 rebranding of into the original band name, initiated by drummer (1941–2023) and guitarist to revive touring activities. This reunion effort recruited bassist Roy Babbington for continuity with the band's 1970s sound, while saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist provided woodwinds and compositional contributions, creating the closest configuration to the classic 1970s fusion era since the Third album period. The group, comprising three veterans from 's 1970s incarnations, emphasized a blend of legacy and evolution through global performances starting in December 2015. John Marshall, on drums, had joined in 1972, becoming a cornerstone of its fusion phase after replacing Phil Howard during sessions for Six. He died on September 16, 2023. Prior to this, he co-founded the -rock ensemble Nucleus in 1969 and briefly toured with Jack Bruce's band in 1971, honing his versatile style across progressive and contexts. Guitarist entered in 1975, debuting on the album Softs (1976) and serving as the primary soloist through subsequent releases like Alive & Well: Recorded in . His tenure highlighted intricate , complemented by solo projects that explored acoustic and electric fusion. Bassist Roy Babbington, who first contributed to Soft Machine's Third in 1970 and transitioned to electric bass in 1973 after Six, debuting as full member on Seven, returned in 2015 to anchor the rhythm section with his Nucleus session experience from the early 1970s. , handling , , and keyboards, integrated in 2006 with Soft Machine Legacy—replacing —and carried over into the 2015 lineup, infusing modern elements drawn from collaborations with since 2000 and in the duo Travis & Fripp. His involvement in Soft Machine Legacy during the 2000s, including albums like , bridged archival material with contemporary arrangements. To connect the album's new compositions with Soft Machine's history, the lineup rerecorded "The Man Who Waved at Trains," originally from the 1975 Bundles era featuring Etheridge, and "Out-Bloody-Rageous," a 1970 Mike Ratledge piece from Third. These reinterpretations underscored the musicians' shared legacy, adapting the tracks to the current ensemble's dynamics.

Recording and Production

Studio Sessions

The recording of Hidden Details occurred during a focused three-day session from 20 to 22 December 2017 at The Temple Music Studio in , , a facility owned by the late drummer . This compact timeline prioritized capturing the band's live interplay, with the group performing primarily as a unit to preserve the spontaneous energy of their sound. Session dynamics centered on and minimal overdubs, allowing the music to retain its raw vitality. The band arrived with basic compositional sketches primarily from saxophonist and guitarist , such as the title track "Hidden Details" and "One Glove," which served as starting points for spontaneous arrangements developed on the spot. Free improvisations were decided in-studio, contributing to the album's organic flow, while only a few minor fixes were added afterward to maintain the live feel. Drummer noted, "We rehearsed the written compositions beforehand but decisions about the improvised pieces were made in the studio." Travis described the process as efficient, stating, "We recorded it live in the studio… We actually only spent 3 days in the studio which is fast for these days!" Key creative decisions included rerecording "The Man Who Waved at Trains" from the band's 1975 album Bundles and a reimagined medley of "Out-Bloody-Rageous" from their 1970 album Third, both by Mike Ratledge—as tributes to their legacy, infused with modern twists like Travis's keyboard intro on the latter echoing Ratledge's style and Etheridge's use of new pedals and effects. These selections, alongside original material, were curated to fit a total runtime of approximately 60 minutes, optimized for CD format. The tight schedule stemmed from the members' extensive touring commitments, which limited preparation time and fostered a raw, energetic atmosphere reflective of their live performances since reforming as in 2015. This urgency, while challenging, enhanced the album's immediacy, as the group captured performances in a relaxed yet intense environment under Hiseman's guidance. Travis recalled the sessions as "an incredibly relaxed affair," with minimal post-tracking adjustments to honor the in-the-moment execution.

Engineering and Post-Production

The album Hidden Details was produced by band members and , with executive production handled by Leonardo Pavkovic for MoonJune Music. Recording occurred over three days from December 20 to 22, 2017, at Jon Hiseman's Temple Music Studio in , , where Hiseman served as the recording engineer. Mixing took place on February 1, 2, and 6, 2018, followed by mastering on May 10, 2018, both conducted by Andrew Tulloch at The Blue Studio in . The engineering process focused on delivering exceptional clarity to showcase the nuances in the band's interplay, particularly Etheridge's intricate guitar lines and Travis's expressive and work. This top-notch production standard utilized The Blue Studio's hybrid analog-digital setup, including Neve preamps and SSL compressors, to blend warmth with precision during mixing and mastering. Subtle spatial effects were applied to maintain an atmospheric depth, enhancing the overall sonic balance without overpowering the acoustic elements. Post-production featured the addition of wind chimes by guest musician Nick Utteridge on the ambient closing track "Breathe," contributing delicate, cyclical textures to Travis's looped flute and Marshall's percussion. Tulloch's mastering balanced dynamics across the 13 tracks, optimizing for both digital playback and the limited-edition 180-gram vinyl pressing (200 copies) released by Tonefloat, ensuring fidelity in analog reproduction. This approach preserved the 's complex jazz-rock structures while accommodating vinyl's technical constraints.

Arrangement techniques on the album follow a layered heads-solos-heads format characteristic of ensemble playing, allowing for structured themes to frame extended improvisations. Dynamic shifts create contrast, moving from quiet —such as the lines in "Spiral Globes"—to high-energy climaxes in pieces like the title track, where guitar riffs and sax melodies build intensity over undulating rhythms.
