The power trio Soft Machine came on the scene in the late 60s, bringing to the world a fusion of psychedelia and jazz. Gotta say, it's something that may not grab you first listen through, but there is a lot to absorb, so don't dismiss what doesn't instantly gratify. They are categorized as part of the Canterbury Scene, which consists mainly of progressive psychedelic music.
Consider this, Hendrix had them booked as his opening act for his 1968 tour. I can't imagine a cooler opener for Jimi.
I really love this first track, "We Did it Again". It's waaaaayyy hypnotic.
