Soft Machine are an English progressive rock band from Canterbury, named after the book The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs. They were one of the central bands in the Canterbury scene, and helped pioneer the progressive rock genre. Though they achieved little commercial success, they are considered by AllMusic to be "one of the more influential bands of their era, and certainly one of the most influential underground ones."
Soft Machine (billed as The Soft Machine up to 1969 or 1970) were formed in mid-1966 by Robert Wyatt (drums, vocals), Kevin Ayers (bass, guitar, vocals), Daevid Allen (guitar) and Mike Ratledge (organ) plus, for the first few gigs only, American guitarist Larry Nowlin. Allen, Wyatt and future bassist Hugh Hopper had first played together in the Daevid Allen Trio in 1963, occasionally accompanied by Ratledge. Wyatt, Ayers and Hopper had been founding members of The Wilde Flowers, later incarnations of which would include future members of another Canterbury band, Caravan.
The Soft Machine is a novel by William Burroughs published in 1961.
The Soft Machine may also refer to:
Soft Machine is the fifth studio album by Teddybears, released on 12 September 2006 on Big Beat Recordings and Columbia Records. It is the first album the band released under the name "Teddybears", as they had previously been Teddybears STHLM. Excluding "Intro", "Riot Going On" is the only new song from the group. The rest are reproductions of tracks found on their previous albums Fresh and Rock 'n' Roll Highschool, with "Throw Your Hands Up" renamed "Are You Feelin' It?".
French may refer to:
The French are a British rock band, formed by Darren Hayman and John Morrison after the band Hefner declared an indefinite hiatus. Musically there is a specific continuity between Hefner and The French, which is manifested not only in the lyrics and compositions but also in the use of vintage drum machines and synthesizers, an aesthetic choice that was very present in Hefner's last recordings.
The French released one album, Local Information, on Too Pure in 2003. Their most recent work together was a John Peel session in August 2004. Since then Darren Hayman has been involved in a legal dispute with Too Pure, and has subsequently launched a solo career. He intends to re-release Local Information and possibly other material by The French. Like Hefner before them, The French are now on an indefinite hiatus.
Tale of Taliesin Lineup (because it has been discussed below): Roy Babbington (bass), John Etheridge (guitar),John Marshall (drums), Karl Jenkins (keys). allan holdsworth and mike ratledge were both gone from the group by this tour.

I've got something to tell you
Hold on, I wanted to thrill you
It's nice, makes you feel better
It's called a Lullabye Letter
Hold tight, I'm not trying to con you
Get ready, I'm going to lay it on you
You're the sweetest thing I see
I'm telling you it's no lie
I've got lights in my brain, girl
We'll have fights in the rain, girl
You'll be good/bad together
Writing songs and call that the weather
If you've got something to sing me
Four o'clock's the best time to ring me
You're the sweetest thing I see
I'm telling you it's no lie
I've got something to tell you
Hold on, I wanted to thrill you
It's nice, makes you feel better
It's called a Lullabye Letter
Hold tight, I'm not trying to con you
Get ready, I'm going to lay it on you
You're the strangest scene I see
I'm telling you it's no lie
