SEVEN

With Hopper gone, Roy Babbington was now on bass full time ( both double bass and bass guitar )
There are definate "rock" influences creeping in on this album (much shorter tracks) and it was to be the last album before the guitar once again returned on "Bundles" (Soft Machine had been guitar-less since the departure of Kevin Ayers after "Volume 1" ).
