Oh I agree, I was just feeling sorry for Faust. Saw them last year at RIO and they were magnificent.

Third is an album that's become a firm favourite in the past few years, so it gets my vote.

I like Faust's debut a lot, ... but ... come on. Third  is a classic.

Soft Machine, Third.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Yeah, if it was Vol. 2 then Faust would not get my vote.


Volume 2 is the best Soft Machine album. You guys have taste I'll give you that.

Regarding this poll, I am going with Third. I dig the Faust debut but there was far better to come from them....like So Far, The Faust Tapes and IV fx.

I'be always found Faust S/T to have a perfect side 1, but side 2 kind of loses me. I love Kraut freak-outs, so I don't really understand why I haven't fallen for Miss Fortune. Thyme for the clear platter to hit the TT methinks.
Still, probably will never be above our beloved Softs though.

Soft Machine was never a huge fav of mine though Wyatt is one of those glorious national treasures that only the Brits can produce. Otoh I'm not all that familiar with Faust. Better have a good listen before I vote on this one.
