Bundles is a 1975 album by the British psychedelic, progressive rock and jazz/fusion band Soft Machine.
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, which had not featured a guitarist for seven years, since their debut single.[2]
This is the last studio album featuring Ratledge listed as band member. Only two compositions by him are featured, both less than two minutes long.
