One of the first British psychedelic acts, and later moving into prog and jazz-rock, and in 1971 became a purely instrumental band.

Soft Machine's music encompasses prog, experimental rock, jazz rock, jazz, proto-prog, psychedelic rock and art rock. According to Hugh Hopper: "We weren't consciously playing jazz rock, it was more a case of not wanting to sound like other bands; we certainly didn't want a guitarist"
