Since 2016 the band formerly known as Soft Machine Legacy was from then on rightfully called ‘Soft Machine’. The Legacy tag, never in fact legally required, was officially dropped. The band toured the UK both in 2016 and 2017, and also performed in Italy, Macedonia, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. In 2018 the band went into Jon Hiseman’s recording studio to record the first album under the name Soft Machine in 37 years – ‘Hidden Details’.
