I keep coming back to the guitar lead after the first verse and chorus of Soft Machine. It is such a great lead -- so concise, textural, melodic, and narrative -- and nasty tone! It's perfect! Gets me every time.
Anyone notice the general lack of guitar solos on this record (not that I'm really surprised)?

if i may quote androo from the very first issue of state of mind magazine...
THE SLIP: Sonic Enviormentalists
(when questioned about people's attitudes towards the new sound)
"I don't really see that we've abandoned anything necesarilly. We're moving more towards a group sound, and maybe people are hearing less of the individuals. We used to create a lot of music where there were solos. It was like half of our songs were a melody, then there would be a guitar solo, a bass solo, and a drum solo. And lately the music has been more about this one sound, a sound of a unified body. ... Lately it's been more about creating a wash, where there are a lot of overtones and chaos that's happening as a bed for the music to be felt. I'm a lover of creating an atmosphere. It really helps me create music when we can create a bed of sound underneath our songs.
