    As much as i love early Soft Machine ,this so called remaster isnt a remaster at all, its a huge downgrade, for volume one and two, stay clear of these remasters andsearch out : The Soft Machine Collection aka Architects of Space Time aka Volume One and Two, It will be a whole new experience for you if you are a fan !
