"Land Of Cockayne" is a 1981 album credited to Soft Machine. But for all intents and purposes, this is a Karl Jenkins solo album, as he wrote all the material. The music is a blend of fusion and progressive, with some orchestral flavorings. “Panoramia” and “Hot Biscuit Slim” features guitar and sax doubling the melody. “(Black) Velvet Mountain” features a melancholic melody guitar line. “Sly Monkey” features some nice multitracked guitar on the intro, and Allan playing lead and his only solo.
