Liner Note Author: John Etheridge . RUBBER RIFF was not originally created for regular commercial release. Soft Machine mainstays Karl Jenkins and John Marshall produced this set as a so-called "needle drop" record, intending the short instrumentals to be used for commercial purposes, such as ads, films, television, etc. They were conceived of as functioning as a bed or background for these various uses. Hence, there's an absence of pronounced foreground melody and movement in most of these pieces. Tellingly, Jenkins later went on into commercial music work not unlike this (a field into which founding member Mike Ratledge also went, meeting with substantial success). While RUBBER RIFF is decidedly not the place to start in exploring this important band, it is, nonetheless, a fascinating document that shows how sometimes art and commerce can intersect.
