Bundles is the eighth studio album by the Canterbury associated band Soft Machine, released in 1975.[2]

Overview

On Bundles, only keyboardist and founding member Mike Ratledge is left of the early Soft Machine line-ups. Guitarist Allan Holdsworth's prominent contributions set the album apart from previous Soft Machine recordings,[2] which had not featured a guitarist for seven years, since their debut single.[3]

This is the last studio album featuring Ratledge listed as a full band member.[2] Only two compositions by him are featured, both less than two minutes long.
