Robert Wyatt in his first three albums with the Soft Machine was a phenomenal talent, and his voice has rarely ever been equalled in the music world, as well as the avant garde progressive
jazz/ psychedelic rock
songs that the group created. Sadly they soon re-organized, and drifted into unfocused directions, never achieving anything close to their initial works.
