KARL JENKINS: RUBBER RIFF

How this album got released to the public I'll never know, not because the music is generic,but because DeWolfe recordings are meant for muzak companies and jingles. Rubber Rift was just a experiment to see if Karl Jenkins could make it in the jingle buisness in 1976 with the Soft Machine name. He still does make these banal little records,but unreleased to the public. The songs are basically rifts with melodies that don't sound that bad. The album sounds a little muuddy too,it's like they took out the EQ and made it sound hackeyed. iIf you are a Soft Machine fan purchase with caution.
