'''Ray Warleigh''': Flute on "The Floating World"<br>
"==Bundles" is an album by jazz-rock/prog group [[Soft Machine]].==
The style Bundles is somewhat psychedelic a 1975 album by Soft Machine. This version of the band was leaning in a jazz-rockdirection. Karl Jenkins had joined in 1972, very loose and riffbecame a dominant force in the band, writing the majority of the tunes on this album. The centerpiece is the five-basedpart "Hazard Profile", and in particular part I, which contains one of Allan's most well known solos, clocking in at over six minutes. The solo was recorded live in one take with all of the band. At this point, Allan plays had really started to get a long, classic solo handle on “Hazard Profile”how to record his guitar, and gets the notes were flowing with apparent ease. His legato style was already unique by this point. Even if he hadn't continue to refine it in the years to come, his performance here would be enough to secure him a nice sound out place in the guitar playing hall of fame. Harmonically, his SGsolos were still relatively straightforward, and he would keep on woodshedding seriously in the years to come. “Gone Sailing” There's a relaxed flow to the overall band's performance that is short still enjoyable to listen to five decades later. We also get a rare and sweet with special treat in "Gone Sailing": Allan on plays a 12-string acousticguitar with an alternate tuning that in some ways points forward to "I.O.U.", but in other ways stands out as totally unique in his entire discography. ==Links==
